OOC: There are no casualties on the Kurikian ground forces?
IC:
The massive invasion conducted by the Kurikians is obviously not taken kindly, for many Sminishian armored divisions, most that were not part of the operation rush to the territories and areas of there the 10th Kurikian Army is. The divisions make up about ~250 Main battle tanks in total, however, while being outnumbered in half, they have support from infantry wielding Anti-Tank infantry. And inside the territory, soldiers with said territory are awaiting for Kurikian tanks to pass by to shoot at them with Shoulder-Fired Rocket Launchers aiming endless tracks to stop them from moving, and then shooting at the main cannons.
Sminishian G8 Tanks, with support of Anti-Tank infantry, fire their shells at the Kurikian charging tanks, aiming at hulls, main guns and even tracks. Sminishian soldiers have been setting some mines. All of this resistance does not let the Kurikian army advance towards territory not even inches.
The casualties of ground troops are 45 killed, 13 by war and 32 by Kurikian artillery strikes. Seven tanks were even fully destroyed. Most of the Kurikian artillery has been shot down by C-RAM's.
As for the Sminishian forces that are indeed part of the operation, they attempt to advance to Kurikian territory with 100 tanks and more than 50,000 men to stop this huge savage swarm made by Kurikians and to sustain casualties on them.
As for the air, the Sminishian 57th squadron continues dogfighting the Kurikian bombers, while some go low altitude to conduct air strikes on the Kurikian invasive forces.
