Field record

The Iron Line is not a single front — it's a 600-kilometer contested zone running through what used to be eastern Poland and western Ukraine. EO mechanized armor and autonomous platforms hold the eastern line. UKE-aligned forces and independent PMC networks hold the western.

The longest sustained conventional conflict of the post-Upheaval era. Burning Glass armored divisions and Ghostwire infiltration units have been trading ground here for four years. Neither side has achieved a decisive breakthrough. Neither side has stopped trying.
