Tbilisi's recent expansion with a secondary Air Strip and a Concrete Control tower is considered insufficient, and thus a construction team was ordered to harden it into a second runway, in parallel more more maintenance hangars will be built... (Level 4) This, to allow for the operation of 400-500 Aeroplanes, meaning that any of our Aviation Corps could operate here in ideal conditions if we ever find ourselves at war with Turkey.
With it's Airstrip recently converted to a hardened Runway, the addition of a secondary Airstrip and a concrete control tower (Level 3) in Riga has been fast-tracked as this improvement will allow our Assault Aviation Corps to be moved closer to the German border into Riga Air Base.
For similar reasons Lwow Air Base will be expanded further after the last round, including Ammunition storage facilities and Pilot's sleeping facilities, it's third runway is now being hardened as concrete taxiways are added. (Level 6)
Expansion of Air Bases along our main defensive line continues. After Novomoskovosk got it's aviation fuel pipeline network, additional ammunitions storage and a dirt strip beside it's 4 runways, the same improvements (Level 9) will be added to Demjanski Air Base.

19)
or continue (
1)
:

Infrastructure will be upgraded to 'Level 8' in Parycy, and Rahachow.
-Moskva peripheral railway network:
Infrastructure will be upgraded to 'Level 7' in Belyy Gorodok, Teykovo, Kurlovskiy and Beloomut.
-Tyndinskiy Air Base side-branch of the Trans-Siberian Ralroad:
Infrastructure will be improved to 'Level 4' in Solov'evsk and Tyndinskiy.
-Desna East Bank Moskva-Brjansk-Kyiv Railroad:
Infrastructure will be upgraded to 'Level 7' in Suvorov, Belev, Duderovskiy, Navlja, Serednya Buda, Yampil,and Shostka.
The 'Level 8' objective for our Leningrad-
Novaya Ladoga-
Vityebsk-
Homel-
Kyiv-
Dnipopetrovsk-
Zaporizhzhya-
Mykolaiv Defensive line has been completed.
In Finland, work continues, slowly improving the network around lake Ladoga to 'Level 6', and linking it with the Murmansk line. Investment in Finland will remain low but stable, as we need to be sure that we can supply a possible war against Sweden, or Norway all through winter.
The network around Moskva is improving, this should increase the versatility of our very centralised Armed Forces logistics. The second ring of railway hubs has been delivered, now, Infrastructure three nodes away is being improved to 'Level 7'.
Additionally, a new project was started to deal with a sometimes intermittent supply flow to the south, and add another defensive line. The Desna River flows roughly in a straight line from the Moskva area to the Kyiv area, and so an additional rail-line will be built on it's east bank to clear up some of the southbound bottlenecks.
Tunmin Air Base is now adequately connected to the network, the siding to the Tyndinskiy Air Base, still needs some work.
The work on the Trans-Siberian Railway continues, slowly getting closer to Omsk.
I will now hitch a ride to Moscow in the back seat of a Yak-7 trainer which participated in the inauguration of the Air Base, before publishing the next report tomorrow,
