"Helldivers 2: Urgent Major Orders to Secure Economic Future and Eliminate Bug Threat"

Helldivers 2's latest Major Order tasks players with liberating the bug-infested planets Zagon Prime and Fori Prime, offering 35 Warbond Medals as a reward if accomplished by Friday. However, both planets are currently behind enemy lines, requiring the liberation of other worlds first to establish supply lines. The game's "Supply Lines" mechanic adds a new layer of depth to the Galactic War metagame, and with less than three days to complete the task, the community faces a challenging mission to secure the economic future of Super Earth's citizens by harvesting bug-provided Element 710, believed to be oil.

Ukrainian Drones Sever Vital Russian Supply Lines in Black Sea

Ukrainian maritime drones, known as uncrewed surface vessels (USVs), have disrupted Russian supply lines in the Black Sea, forcing Russian ships to avoid the area and take longer routes. The impact of these drones extends beyond sinking warships, as they have significantly affected the Russian Navy's control of the Black Sea and added weeks to supply lines. Recent encounters with these drones, including a sighting by the merchant ship Ella, highlight the difficulty in detecting and countering this threat, leading to strategic shifts in Russian shipping routes and potentially impacting weapons shipments.

"Russia's Vulnerable Supply Lines Spell Doom in Southern Ukraine"

The utilization of railways for transportation and supply of troops has been a foundational innovation in warfare for over a century and a half. The Russian-Ukrainian war highlights the importance of logistics and supply lines, with the Russian army expending a prodigious amount of supplies daily. The southern defensive strategy of the Russian army consists of a mosaic of strong points, forming company strongholds and subsequent defensive echelons. However, the configuration of the occupied territory and limited communication lines present vulnerabilities for the Russian forces. The Ukrainian defense forces aim to disrupt Russian supplies via rail, potentially forcing a withdrawal from southern Ukraine.

"Ukrainian Troops Launch Strategic Offensive, Severing Bakhmut's Supply Lines"

Ukrainian troops have launched a counteroffensive in the north and south, aiming to cut off supply lines into the city of Bakhmut in eastern Ukraine's Donbas region. After the town of Klishchiivka was captured by Kremlin-aligned mercenaries from The Wagner Group in December, Ukrainian forces have now liberated it, putting them in a favorable position to sever the southern supply lines into Bakhmut. This counteroffensive is part of Ukraine's long-planned strategy to drain the Russian army's combat power and regain control of Bakhmut. The battle for the city has been ongoing for over a year, with roads playing a crucial role in determining the outcome.

EU Takes Major Step to Boost Ammunition Production for Ukraine

The EU has reached a tentative deal, known as the Act in Support of Ammunition Production (ASAP), to allocate €500 million to help EU-based manufacturers expand their production capacity for ammunition and missiles. This is part of a three-part plan to provide Ukraine with 1 million ammo rounds within a year and ensure Europe's own stockpiles are not depleted. The EU aims to strengthen its defense industrial base by investing in local firms, securing supply lines, and promoting local procurement. However, there are doubts that €500 million is sufficient to make Europe's defense industry competitive, and discussions are ongoing for additional funding. The deal requires final approval from the Council of the EU and the European Parliament.

Kyiv's Snow-Tractors Could Help Cut Off Russian Troops in Crimea.

The German government has pledged to Ukraine scores of BV-206 all-terrain snow-vehicles, which could be used to cut off Russian troops in Crimea. The lightweight vehicles can supply combat brigades without relying on paved roads, making them especially important in southern Ukraine’s Kherson Oblast just north of Crimea. The BV-206 works well on marshland and snow, and could be used to shuttle supplies, allowing Ukrainian forces to march a brigade south from Kherson without tethering that brigade to the P47. If the local Russian garrison failed to match the Ukrainians’ off-road logistics, there would be very little preventing the attacking forces from rolling all the way to the Black Sea—and severing the railway to Crimea.

Russia's Sacrifice for Minimal Gains in Key City Road Criticized by UK

Russia is expending significant resources to control Marinka, a Ukrainian city located in the Donetsk Region, despite achieving minimal gains. The city's roads are valuable as supply lines for Russia, which is fighting to take full control of the Donetsk region as a primary goal of the invasion. The battle for Marinka reflects a key aim of Russia's unsuccessful winter offensive, namely to conquer the entire Donbas. The city has been largely destroyed and deserted by civilian residents since November, joining a long list of Ukrainian cities that fell victim to Russia's scorched earth tactics.
