As Ukraine prepares to launch its much anticipated counteroffensive on Russian forces, satellite images and videos show how Moscow has been strengthening its defense lines. British intelligence says Russia has built some of the most extensive defenses anywhere in the world with their anti-tank ditches, Dragon’s teeth and trenches.
WSJ looks at the effectiveness of the Russian defenses to understand what Ukrainian troops could face in their offensive.

"Hands, legs and heads cut off with axes, people torn by horses and nailed to doors, bellies cut open by pregnant women, wells filled with bodies - all this cruelty shown in the movie "Wołyń" can be taken literally. It was so." Quote from the article. The cult and fanaticism that surrounds the Nationalists of the OUN-UPA and SS Galizien in Ukraine, who are responsible for the genocide against Jewish and Polish civilians during World War II. Let us condemn the cult of cruelty and hatred.

I mean this war is really interesting cuz we dont seem to understand (me aswell for awhile) that one or 2 small counteroffensives cant decide whole war these days Same with 2022s ukraine offensives where we thought Russia will be gone, same rn where ukraine failed and we think they will fall soon since this year didnt accomplish anything for them Both media are idiotic and the succeses are from parts we cant predict, for example Himars offensive

@@overdrivelzma.9219 There is one location where the UAF have reached (and actually breached) the first defense line. This is in Zaporizhzhia region on the axis towards Verbove village. On the rest of the hundreds of kilometers long defense line they haven't even gotten close. Even without the high casualty rate they would never reach Tokmak. Google "Ukraine control map" there is a good map out there with OSINT on unit positions, engagement and exact locations of fortifications. The entirety of UAF offensive operations have taken place in the Russian security zone. An area of "no man's land" in front of the Russian lines where Rusia has been conducting a mobile defense. From the very start it has been clear (and verified by western and russian sources alike) that Russia would be more than okay with giving ground in this security zone if needed. The fact that several months into the counter offensive the UAF still hasn't pushed all they way through this security zone is saying more than enough. They haven't even been able to recapture an area which Russia was willing to withdraw from if needed. Imagine how they are going to fare against the Russian main defensive lines which Russia is NEVER going to willingly withdraw from? They only managed to push until the first such line in one place, they did that 2 months ago. Russia is currently on the offensive again in that specific place...

Bonjour. Well, after six months, it is fair to say that the Russians were right and knew what they were doing. Building strong defensive lines as they did against the Germans in the Kursk battle in 1943 (at least, the Germans managed to reach the third line but they were exhausted by the toughness of the battles and the thickness of the lines) and, meanwhile, the factories were creating weapons and the militaries upgrading their weapons. Never underestimate Russia.

330,000 dead Russians. 1,000,000+ wounded Russians. Ukraine's offense is creating "meat grinders" like Bakhmut and Avdiivka to eliminate large numbers of the enemy. The Russians charge forward for political reasons and are slaughtered 20:1. Ukraine attacks where they can acheive their objective or reducing the Russian army without losing their own men. If the Russian army is nice enough to walk into the traps, Ukraine is happy to kill them while on defense and taking few losses of their own. It's like WW1. The side with the better defense strategy and new technology wins. That's Ukraine. Russia will send more conscripts. Who will train them? What armor will support their attacks? Russia has lost. Untrained conscripts are only capable of making "meat wave" attacks into the robotic machine guns of the Ukrainians. If they send more conscripts, their losses will only increase.

Defences, including mines, are not intended to prevent the enemy from crossing over, but to slow them down sufficiently to hit them with anti-tank, artillery, aircraft, drones and whatever else they have. Any slowdown in the advance at all will result in serious casualties. Vehicles are extremely vulnerable when they are stationary or moving slowly!

@@mitchyoung93 I partially disagree... If indeed there were some fortifications that helped, main reasons why Russia didn't progress are the ratio attacker/defender, the overall quantity of soldiers mobilized compared to the front"s length and the relative "restraint" of Russia. For information. In Iraq, US led coalition was more than 1M men with blatant superiority in every sector & a full control of the sky And if Russia is shelling quite a lot indeed... it's not doing it NATO style... meaning carpet bombing from high altitude.

​​@@Justwantahoverfirst this is war nato against Russia on ukrain soil with ukrainian blood. War started 2014-2016 after maidan cup organised by west. From that day every citizen of ukrain who are Russian on language or national orientation are in big problem. So Russia didn't attack ukrain to get land, but to save own people. What will do usa in same case. West brutally attack many countries from 1945 until now, for resurs or global control, not to save own people there, and what is that democracy i dont get it, pls explain me. Corea war, Vietnam, lot of wars in Africa, libia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Serbia, Bosnia, siriya, now war against Palestinian people. In ukrain west is deeply involved. Why your country need that, tell me, do you need.

Yes. Most people read about the Siegfried Line that was supposed to defend Germany in WW2. Well designed. The problems were that Germany was short on firepower so many of the heavy defensive weapons had been moved to German fortifications in Normandy. The US did not know that. Today, surveillance and intelligence gathering is much better.

@@alleystargrowley2784 yes and no, there were forts in Belgium that the French were supposed to be using, but the Germans won the diplomacy war and got the weak King of Belgium to deny access to the French army. By the time they were allowed back it was too late and the French army was too disorganized to mount a perfect defense. The breakthrough at Sedan was all that was needed to cut the allies off from the rest of the lines and trap them against the ocean. Sedan's fortifications were too weak because a miscalculation in how difficult for the terrain would be for armored units to cross. By the time the mistake was discovered it was too late to do much (the estimates were 60 hours to cross the river, the Germans ended up doing it in 57).

I love the last sentence: "If Ukraine attacks defensive lines, which are not sufficiently protected, Ukrainians will be able to bypass the obstacles with Western Challengers and Leopards." Apart from the bad iterative English "Ukraine, Ukrainians" "Western Challengers and Leopard", this also does not make any sense. If these static objects are not defended by humans, even a human with nothing on him or her can stroll past them. They seem to have had not much confidence in their Wunder weapons and those Ukrainians - and rightfully so.

On average, 1,336 people enter into a contract in Russia per day, that is, every day we "get a regiment" - Shoigu. "In fact, by the end of June we will complete the formation of the reserve army and in the near future we will complete the formation of the army corps, they will receive more than 3.7 thousand units of equipment," Shoigu said. Apparently, there will be no mobilization in Russia

Seeing as this IS Russia ((( ??? ))), pretty cool how Ukraine tricked the orcs into expending extreme effort tearing up their land with trenches and scattering uncountable land mines. So let's review what the orcs got for their trillion euros war ::: 1.) a bunch of destroyed cities ala' Mariupol and Bahkmut ((( sorry, they don't really have Bahkmut, they just have some Special Military Fodder evaporating away, soon to be completely surrounded ))) 2.) they have a band of mined defensive regions that are of no use other than to occupy and freeze to death in the open air, 3.) they have half of their allegedly """ annexed """ land that they have sealed themselves off from. Well at least they deNazified ... oh wait, they never said how many alleged Nazis there were. In between reports of having destroyed each fighter jet twice, each HIMARS piece 3.5 times, I haven't heard of a neutralized Nazis count ... of course if they only got one, they wouldn't want to say.
