    1. @ᛋᛁᛒᛅᛋᛏᛁᛅᚾ It’s not a same. Russia took back territories which is historical Russian land. Vietnam and Afghanistan remain with same territory. After NATO invasion on Serbia 1999, there is no more international law. Strong countries can do what they want.

    2. The best offence is a good defense. All you need to know is what the latest thing is, so you can stand with it. War is Peace and all that backwards$hit. I stand with peace but I’m a semi fascist. We’re weird like that.

    3. @Dale Crocker they haven’t though. They don’t control 100% of any of the regions they’ve “annexed”.

    4. @David Aponte This looks like a bad copy of the German Siegfried line and The US Army got tanks through it . Its old tech and a waste of effort . Putin is using 80 year old defenses .

  1. The Russian army reminds me more and more of the German army in the final phase of WWII. Deploying untrained soldiers, expanding useless distribution lines, and destroying vital infrastructure to harm the enemy.

    1. @XxxxX one rusian soldier called his mom and said he was in Moscow for 10 days then sent him to the frontline in Donbask

    2. Funny, the Russian Army reminds me of late 1941 when the Germans were outside the Gates of Moscow, before 500,000 Siberian Red Army troops were shipped in and prepped for a counter-offensive the German’s were clueless was about to hit them. Sort of what 300,000 Russians are doing right now, waiting for the ground to freeze.

  2. Went from invading with tanks bearing a Z on them, now building anti tank defenses after losing their Z tanks to Zelensky’s army.

    1. @Robson Maquival they however did deploy their main tank battalion which was destroyed they thought they could just run over Ukraine like they did when they took over Crimea. They didn’t take an effect that Ukraine had been getting trained by NATO the last 8 years.

    2. Idk why you guys are making jokes. The fact that Russia have not send in their best, reserving it in the event the UN steps in. Not picking any side but russia capability is alot more than just using ground troops and tanks

    3. @WokeAF of course, they even labelled them as such. The Z ones were a gift for Zelensky and the V ones were meant to be kept for Vlad.

  3. “It’s a lie, it’s a lie.” Before the war Putin denied repeatedly that he had no intention of Invading Ukraine, then he did. He lied to fellow Russians that he was to conduct a mere surgical operation within Ukraine, but it turned out to a chronical war. He said not using Iranian drones in combat, but several have seen with marking linking to Iran, ete, etc

    1. Yeah, the ruSSian strategy of consistently and simply saying the opposite of what they’re going to do, isn’t really that sophisticated…

  4. The Germans tried a similar thing during WW2 (dragon’s teeth) and the allies were able to burry and drive over them.

  5. Excellent reporting! Professional deliverance of news by anchor people doing their job of presenting the news rather than competing with it.

    1. This is next level sarcasm, right? A) this story is weeks old and B) has been thoroughly discussed by actual tactics and military engineering experts who know what they’re talking about. Anyone who thinks they can just go around them, or bulldoze them, or blow them up, has no business even talking.

    2. I only saw sincere news reporting, I don’t get the “sarcasm” crack.
      What do you mean, you can’t drive around an obstacle or bulldoze it? Sure you can! You probably are just afraid to try but don’t worry, Ukrainian army can figger it out 😁

    3. If they were actually on the ground not sitting in some studio that would be true, it’s just lazy biased reporting.

  6. The French called theirs the Maginot line. The Germans drove around the end of it. And don’t forget that an artillery blast can move even a concrete block that size. In modern war, any fortification just tells the enemy where to shoot.

    1. Assuming the blocks are concrete. Digging trench…you can do that with heavy equipment but building the “concrete” pyramids…it’s a bit more complicated. You need people, materials, and transportation. I’m skeptical the “barriers” are anything more than 2x4s, plywood, and nails.

    2. @Louisa von Dart :
      The French could have built the Maginot Line along the French/ Belgium Border. However, the French thought that Hitler would NEVER invade France through Belgium, since Belgium was a “Neutral Nation”!

      As if Hitler would ever respect ANY Nation’s neutrality!

    3. @Roger Pennel good sarcasm and wit. This new”maginot line’ shows how people need to study history and the history of war if they truly want people to take them seriously. Makes good optics I guess.

    1. If jens stoltenburg says that a russian victory is a nato deafeat than that means russia is fighting nato.

    2. Ive heard that the dam is the main source of freshwater for Crimea. Follow the canal right by the dam. Break the dam no water. I haven’t followed up on this yet so take it as is or may be?

  7. Oh no !!!
    Artillery shells will never get over those ingenious blocks – they are so tall AND there are so many of them !!! 🤭

    1. Usain Bolt used to be the world’s fastest runner. Now he isn’t even in the top 500,000. Russian soldiers and Russian men able to be drafted are running circles around Usain.

  8. Fixed fortifications may not prevent a determined advance but they do slow it and additionally allow forces to be placed elsewhere.

  9. Essentially, a one-mile “defensive wall.” I’m certain the Ukrainians will never think of flanking it.

  10. Protection of an anti-tank barrier requires a significant number of troops. The standard way to deal with such a barrier is to use armored bulldozers to bury them with dirt so tanks can go over them. The Wagner group does not have enough troops to guard a very long line.
