Ukrainian personnel from the 783rd Separate Operational Preparation Brigade – of the State Transport Special Service of Ukraine – using construction equipment to build large fortifications – in the Donetsk Oblast.

Imagine if Ukraine had these defenses in 2024. No imagination is required to understand that Poland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania still think that these defenses are not needed as did Ukraine in 2024. Stupid is as stupid does not.

Here they seem to attach the barbed wire to the concrete blocks, which looks like an improvement over what they were doing previously, just dropping the wire on the ground – the russians would then run over it with cars or motorcycles at speed.

Sad to see rich black soils being dug up for trenches and removed from agricultural usage.

I’m no army engineer, but why only the one row of dragons teeth and no other traps such as hedgehogs in a fortification like this? Is it a logistics/supply thing?
