“Sappers on their bellies are slower, but a lot of the time they can get their job done without being noticed.”


crawling on all fours, so how does that work with minefields many kilometres deep ?

At the Orikiv front it is 15 km to the contact line.

First, crawling on all fours is too conspicuous, it leaves your ass up in the air. I said "belly" and I meant "belly".

Second, minefields aren't many kilometers deep. The Russians may have layered multiple obstacles over kilometers, but the individual minefields will be hundreds of meters deep, not kilometers.
