Russian forces in Ukraine have built hundreds of kilometers of field fortifications over the past few months.

This interactive map shows where many of these sites are located and links each to satellite imagery. (1/4)

Looks like the most Russian digging was to defend Melitopol, and prepare a line to East, in case it falls.

Maginot Line? UKR Gen Stf too smart for linear thinking. Long-range precision weapons (ATACMs, GLSDB, Gray Eagle, F16) key to liberating Crimea, the decisive terrain. Attack the two land LOC’s linking Crimea to the mainland, then make Crimea untenable by striking RF bases there.

Did you see the movie 1917?

Kind of reminds of those German trenches and bunkers those two Brit Tommie’s encountered.

Thing about static defenses is that you have Roman them all to be remotely effective but the assaulting group Only has to penetrate one area and the rest is worthless
Russians like defense in depth but do they have the manpower and the skill level to do that
I think most mobiks will surrender or run
We will see, but tossup between sand trenches in Crimea and the baby dragons teeth set on the ground with handles to move them or just drive over as videos have shown
