Frontline Exhaustion: Neither of USA (Agent007ki) and USSR (ПРОТИВНИК СОСАТБ) Yields Ground

For 6 years without armistice, armored divisions of USA (Agent007ki) and USSR (ПРОТИВНИК СОСАТБ) have faced off across the perimeter barbed wire. Radar stations and observation towers recorded reciprocal firing in Alaska, Albania, East Germany, India, Istanbul, Leningrad, London, Moscow, North Sea, Panama, Sweden, Tunis and Vladivostok. For 6 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. Defense spokesmen describe the territorial transfer as a mutual realignment of strategic perimeters. Non-aligned heads of state issued a joint appeal urging immediate disengagement and perimeter stand-downs.
