Thousands of anti -tank and anti -personnel mines: WP on one of the obstacles to the offensive of the Armed Forces

The Ukrainian army should overcome the huge fortifications of the Russian Federation, and before passing several lines of mines, which are difficult to detect. For the success of the Ukrainian offensive, you need to go through huge lines of fortifications that the invaders built. They consist not only of trenches, but also of mining rows. About it reports The Washington Post.

The Russian Federation has installed a thousand mines along the front line to pass them, heavy equipment and sappers are needed. The sappers say they are constantly training in order to unnoticed the territory. This is done at night and manually so that the invaders cannot hear explosions from mines. The military does not say how they do it, but in the end they signal to the brothers that they can move. Demand can be the first step towards the offensive.

However, the Kremlin has built huge fortifications in the south, which are a web of trenches, dragon teeth and other obstacles that are visible from space. The purpose of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation is to slow down any Ukrainian offensive to have time to regroup and pull up reserves at the point of impact. Ukrainian officials and the military refused to provide information on the plan of breakthrough of Russian fortifications.

However, it is noted that engineers and sappers are already working, sometimes with modern solutions. For example, in the Armed Forces there are special engineering machines based on Leopard 2. According to fighters, the Russian Federation establishes mines according to the following scheme: it is possible to detect anti -tank mines with UAV, but here with anti -personnel mines is more difficult. Therefore, there are two options - to open artillery fire or use engineering tanks.

The first option can help in theory, but ammunition reserves are not unlimited. Therefore, there are UR-77 meteorite engineering machines in Ukraine, which launches linear charges with explosives in front of a minefield, as well as German demining LEOPARD 2R. States also handed over Miclic Michar Machines to Ukraine, but there are other machines in the United States. For example, IDF Caterpillar D9, which according to expert Stephen Danner, is simply rusty in warehouses in Kuwait.

Now the task of the Russian Federation is to guess where Ukraine will take the attack. Satellite images show that Moscow sees a threat in Zaporozhye. Rows of trenches and fortifications are built around Tokmak and Melitopol. We will remind, on May 30 the media calculated how much money it spends on the invasion of Ukraine. It is estimated that the fighting costs 67 billion a year. On February 14, Finland announced a new military assistance package to Ukraine, including LEOPARD 2R miners.
