Mass elimination of Russians in trenches, "fox holes" accelerates; invaders go to death in platoons

According to the report, as Russian occupation forces shift their tactics from using small drone-supported groups to massed armored assaults, Ukraine is adapting its defenses, shortening its defensive lines and creating stealthy strongholds hidden from enemy drones . Politico writes about this.If previously defensive positions were built for battalions and companies, now shelters are created even for platoons of 20-50 fighters. As stated by the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrsky, the most effective positions have become at the level of one squad - these are trenches and "fox holes", difficult to access for attack drones. The long trenches were replaced by short ones – 60-70 meters. Their camouflage from aerial reconnaissance is mandatory.

The report said that behind the front line, construction continues on two additional lines of defense, including minefields, "dragon's teeth," and shelters from snipers and drones.At the same time, the article notes that such construction faces a number of problems. Much depends on local commanders and authorities. For example, in Dnepr, there is close cooperation between the military, authorities and business, but in the Kharkiv and Sumy regions, where the enemy is currently conducting offensive actions, the situation is worse. The publication cites the words of the co-founder of the OSINT project DeepState Roman Pogorely, who said that the construction of fortifications in these regions accelerated only after the new Russian offensive. The military also criticizes the lack of work to strengthen the rear even after successful operations, such as in the Kursk region, where the Ukrainian military held back a 60,000-strong enemy group, buying time to strengthen the border zone. In particular, the fighters point out that protective nets from FPV drones on the highways began to be installed only in January, although drone attacks had occurred earlier, and the "dragon's teeth" in the border areas appeared after the Ukrainian forces began to retreat from the Kursk region. The article also says that Ukraine is inferior to the aggressor country in the number of personnel on the 1,200-kilometer front line. Syrsky emphasizes that even the most modern defense structure will not work without a sufficient number of fighters.
