Fighting the "Red Tide" - Strengthening defensive positions to deal devastating blows to Russia's forces
Expected Heavy Damage to be Inflicted on Russian Forces by Potent Defense Mechanisms
Insight - Ukraine is ramping up its defense by investing in its domestic defense industry, focusing on drone, missile and other military technology development to counter Russian aggression.
The Ukrainian troops face an uphill battle against the overwhelming numerical superiority of Russian forces. To tip the scale in their favor, Kyiv's forces must strike hard and fast, causing extreme damage to the enemy. To achieve this, strong defensive installations are crucial. Reports of progress in constructing such fortifications have emerged, despite previous criticism.
Deepstate, a project with military connections, has been granted access by Ukrainian forces to inspect defensive installations in the Dnipropetrovsk region, which is under constant threat from encroaching Russian troops. Allegations swirl that the Kremlin's forces have made it beyond Dnipropetrovsk, a claim vehemently denied by Kyiv.
Controversy surrounds the quality of defensive installations in various parts of the frontline. The effectiveness of trenches, earth mounds, barbed wire, tank obstacles, and other obstructions is questionable. These obstacles are essential for Ukrainian fighters to stop and engage the vast Russian forces.
Concerns over "critical issues" with fortifications in the Kharkiv region have been highlighted by Deepstate. However, in Dnipropetrovsk, they've heard from fighters that defensive installations are being constructed there in "reasonably good quality," though the exact extent is unknown, so they conducted an on-site assessment.
Inside Scoop - Colonel's Analysis - Reportedly, the Russians are altering their tactical approach. Only barbed wire offers resistance against their infantry waves, Colonel Reisner revealed to ntv.de. The continuous flow of infantry sent into battle by Russian commanders, sacrificing thousands for their goals, constitutes the primary threat at the frontlines, according to Deepstate.
The Big Picture - Panorama - It's probable that Deepstate witnessed only what the army wished to reveal. They remain neutral on the quality of fortifications. Yet, they recognize that progress has been made in constructing defenses. At the same time, they emphasize that defensive installations are not a cure-all, as the Russian forces bring a deluge of infantry, drones, glide bombs, and other threats to bear in their assault.
Deepstate also points to internal issues within the Ukrainian ranks, with excessive losses often attributed to commanders' poor decision-making. "It's all well and good to build defenses if there are soldiers capable of holding them," Deepstate lamented. "It would be preferable to prioritize soldiers entrusted with defense, so they can inflict maximum damage on the enemy."
Behind the Scenes - Exclusive Insights - Great emphasis is placed on constructing barriers that combine various obstructions, such as tank traps, dragon's teeth, or minefields. These fortifications are built using a staggered defense formation to thwart and weaken the enemy by inflicting heavy losses on them.
While specific details about Dnipropetrovsk's defensive installations are scarce, Ukraine's overall defense strategy likely involves reinforcing defenses across key regions to counter Russian advances.
