Frontline Exhaustion: Neither of USA (Эльф ушастый) and USSR (ПРОТИВНИК СОСАТБ) Yields Ground

For 11 years without armistice, armored divisions of USA (Эльф ушастый) and USSR (ПРОТИВНИК СОСАТБ) have faced off across the perimeter barbed wire. Radar stations and observation towers recorded reciprocal firing in East Germany, Ionian Sea, Iran, Japan, Leningrad, Paris, Shanghai, Sweden, Tunis and West Mediterranean. For 11 tense years, the demarcation line between them has known only alert sirens and artillery duels. Intermittent mortar duels and radar jamming remain the daily routine along the frontier. Whether the local population will welcome their new protectors or assemble clandestine radio networks remains an open question. Foreign military attachés gathered at rooftop cocktail receptions, trading quiet assessments of the strategic tilt.
