Their Ukrainian troops will have to be overcome in the event of a counter -offensive towards the South. According to the Ukrainian scout, the defense of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation is built on a "threeline system" with different levels of fortifications, the depth of which in some directions may exceed 30 km. "They have incredible trenches and incredible fortifications, it will be difficult to break their defense line.
There are mine fields and they have good artillery - more than we have, unfortunately," - quotes The Telegraph from the National Guard of Ukraine Sergei. These echelorated defense structures emerged along almost 1000 kilometers of the front line, which separates the Ukrainian forces from the Russian invaders. Ukraine has prepared 12 new offensive brigades for more than six months, including nine -armed and trained NATO countries.
During this time, Russia has managed to build fortifications in the areas, which are likely to be a target for Kiev - occupied by Zaporizhzhia, as well as in Donetsk and Luhansk regions. One of the new satellite images shows trenches, neatly dug in agricultural lands outside the city of Mykhailivka, about 64 kilometers west of Tokmak, where Ukrainian forces are reported.
Carefully constructed moats stretch many kilometers through a number of farm fields and are a rear defense position on the lands occupied by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. A number of trenches are equipped almost 30 kilometers from the front line. Other satellite images show deep trenches directly in front of the trees used to mask artillery positions that can strike the approaching forces.
Closer to the front, the Russians launched triangular concrete blocks known as the "Dragon Teeth" to slow down Ukrainian armored vehicles on any attempt to attack south. One satellite image taken in March shows hundreds of anti -tank structures located in rows, as well as trenches for personnel to the east of Vilivka, a city located on the solution of roads leading to the occupied Melitopol.
And in front, albeit not visible to the satellite, it is likely that a wide network of minefields designed to stop any initial advancement of Ukrainian troops to the south. "The first line along the collision line includes infantry combat positions. The second is properly made trenches compared to the fox standards in the first - and concrete firing points where it is possible.
Those positions are laid several strips Defense is usually 5 kilometers from the first, and each lane of physical protection tends to extend from 700 meters to a kilometer, so that the whole series of obstacles is covered with fire, " - said in the recent report of the Royal Institute of Joint Services. With regard to the third line of defense, it usually includes extreme combat positions and hidden areas for reserves with cut positions for equipment. " somewhere in the world.
"A recent analysis of these positions suggests that they can pass through the entire front line from the occupied Crimea to the Donbass. Such engineering decisions of Russian troops can complicate the counter -offensive. " We need to learn from our enemy as they build their trenches, Because they have a great thing. They use specialized vehicles, not just hands, "said the Ukrainian scout.
