Ukraine builds miles of frontline trenches and bunkers to repel Russian army

As the war in Ukraine enters its third year, President Zelensky has ordered a huge building programme to try and repel the Russian army.

Along the frontline Ukrainian engineers are installing miles of defensive fortifications, from trenches to concrete bunkers.

They have an air of permanence, another sign of how positional this war has become.

You wouldn’t think this is Europe in 2024. It’s ridiculous conflict like this happens, this day & age.

[someguy]

So where are these fortifications? Russians just walked passed without any resistance

[nigelbradshaw]

Jeez. 100 years later we’ve learned nothing.

[archiearevalo]

And they showed it to media every details

[garybray]

Maginot line in France and Siegfried Line of Germany come to mind.

[karlhurley]

I saw sections of these pre-cast trench buildings on the back of a lorry in the UK

[cliffdenis]

And they show this in advance on social medias to help russian choose a suitable weapons capable of destroying them

[acmelka]

Shouldn't the trenches have more traverse? Seem long and straight. They need to check the manuals on trenches from WW1. They had a whole science about it. A lot of blood went into gaining that knowledge

This should have been done 10 years ago.

That concrete is no thicker than my house's septic tank!

[AirplaneDoctor_]

Kinda funny, the prefab concrete bunkers look exactly like septic tanks...

[The_boing]

Fair enough..but do they have kettles and tea making facilities?

[jamesbohlman]

The remnents of the fortifications around Richmond, Virginia are still visible.

[lukefletcher]

I thought Ukraine was winning, and Russia was fighting with shovels and spare washing machine parts?

[solid]

I thought Russia ran out of ammo and rockets years ago 😂😂😂

[MM]

And here I thought I wouldn't see any HESCOs this war....

[Chinunit]

They did the same thing in Avdievka and around that area with NATO assistance, but it stopped FABS from cracking these concrete defensive postions

[dimbasz]

FAB-3000 which now can glide: "What a cute spacious grave you've installed there!"

[melissakelly]

all these trenches should of been dug a year ago

[Iazzaboyce]

So, is Ukraine building a border with Russia?
