Day 3 and things are getting heated!

Here's your news update, I'll try to do this every day! No guarantees, but I will try my best!
At least 99.9% unbiased

Today we have a lot of news, so screw fancy intros, let's jump into it!
First things first, politics. Yes, actual politics- sort of, at least. Today we have word that a group in Sky Park City may or may not be rising in their military presence, with no intentions of helping either side. Why? Well, like we said, politics. Will it happen? We don't know.
We also have word that a new person, FlirBlitz, may be donating Super Fighters to the MGLA. If this does play out, then the playing field will be mostly even, with both sides possessing 5 persons per team.

Secondly, the MGLA offensive against Wright is getting increasingly smaller, everything from Monarchii's homebase defenses to the MGLA splitting their forces between Snowstone and Krakabloa. However, a few Crestel ships continue to strike Monarchii targets, trying to weaken their HQ as much as possible.

Meanwhile, the Snowstone front has been raging on and frankly escalating, with Crestel being the main contributor of new weapons to the MGLA's Snowstone attacks. However, Monarchii also bit back with a kamikaze strike, with an Ohka aircraft hitting Avalanche Airport. Thankfully, no one was injured, not even the pilot, who managed to eject before the crash, but a satellite tower, two NVN-100s, an M49A3, and two Super Bombers- all of which were on the ground at the time- were destroyed in the attack.

However, things haven't been all perfect and whatnot for the MGLA. And they might have gotten worse. Speedhunter has joined the battle, and on Monarchii's side. Although four people have chosen to side with Monarchii (of course minus Monarchii themselves), Speedhunter is the first person to stay loyal and actually supply weapons to Monarchii early on, and they have been quite effective on the battlefield. Along with the introduction of Speedhunter, bringing in the Erusean Sea Vixen, De Havilland Foxcat, and Fuel TANK, Soviet IS-3 tanks have finally arrived to assist Monarchii, being the first tanks in large to fight against the MGLA in this war, although the now neutral KV-2 preceded both the Fuel TANK and IS-3. So far the IS-3s have proven formidable opponents, claiming two TVT-100s, one LVL-100, one M81A1 Obliterator, and an M49A3 Shock, on just their first day. Along with being the first kills of the IS-3s, these also are the first losses of most of the destroyed tanks mentioned, with only the M49A3 taking losses prior to the IS-3's introduction. Meanwhile, the IS-3s have yet to take any full losses or knocked-outs, two being only moderately damaged by The Tonk.

However, this new help for Monarchii came right on time, because simultaneously, the MGLA got a massive weapons import. I would say more but, I think I'll let the 1000-word-pictures speak for me.

Meanwhile, the MGLA has wasted no time building up their Krakabloa base. AA weaponry is on the way, the B-29 continues its upgrades, several damaged planes are undergoing repairs, we now have Catalinas, and the captured Plopter was brought to MGLA's home. What happens next is unknown, but TheUltimatePlaneLover has suggested letting the Plopter befriend a (former) fellow POW, the B-29.

The MGLA-captured Plopter makes its final approach for Yeager Airport, the new home of the MGLA. A PBY Catalina can be seen in the water below.
