In order to strengthen the defense capabilities of Kherson and Zaporozhye, the Russian army began to transport a large number of prefabricated reinforced concrete bunkers to Ukraine . This is to engage in cage tactics. Because the number of Russian troops in Kherson and Zaporozhye is very small and they must not be deployed dispersedly.
Therefore the best way is to control major transportation hubs and important railway lines. Artillery forces are deployed at such tactical points, and defensive positions and various bunkers are deployed on the periphery. In fact, it relies on strategic key fortifications to guard important transportation lines and railways. Use various artillery positions to kill and injure Ukrainian troops who dare to counterattack.
Once this kind of bunker is deployed, trenches and shooting positions will be constructed around it, and sandbags and covering branches and leaves will be piled around the bunker. These bunkers are like tentacles. Once the Ukrainian army is discovered, the Russian artillery deep in the rear can accurately attack the Ukrainian army that dares to counterattack.
When a bunker like this is filled with sandbags, ordinary drones cannot attack it at all. It is difficult for artillery to find targets and accurately strike such small targets. It is not very cost-effective to use expensive precision-guided artillery shells. It is also difficult for the
switchblade cruise missile to hit such a bunker. Firstly, it is not powerful enough to destroy reinforced concrete fortifications. Secondly, it cannot fly into such a small shooting hole. It is indeed possible to use weapons such as the anti-tank gun to shoot directly at close range, but the Russian deep artillery group is not a fool.
The Russian army has a 10-fold advantage in artillery power. Once it enters bunker defense tactics, it will be very difficult for the Ukrainian army to counterattack. The Ukrainian army can indeed dispatch anti-tank squads to carry out the tactics of attacking artillery towers and bunkers. However, it is also very dangerous for the anti-tank missile team to launch an attack.
After all, Russian drones, scouts, special forces and mine arrays , as well as counterattack artillery fire are definitely no joke. It is very likely that the Ukrainian anti-tank squad will never return.
Russia is going to fight a protracted war. The Russian army has too few troops and is unable to break into Odessa . Now it is necessary to keep the areas that have been controlled by Kherson and Zaporozhye. Use small combat groups to cooperate with fortification areas to carry out denial operations.
After the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War , the United States, as the victor, pursued its victory and continuously attacked cities and towns in Europe, the Middle East, , Central Asia, South Asia, Africa and other regions to expand the fruits of victory. Starting from the Gulf War in 1992, to the dismemberment of the Yugoslav Federation, to the invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq, and the "color revolutions" in the Middle East and Central Asia in recent years, the original struggle with the Soviet Union was basically The "middle ground" has all become its own territory.
Now, the United States has begun to support Ukraine in its fight for Ukraine. This is Russia's final bottom line. Whether it is a blitzkrieg of against or a protracted war, Russia will not give up easily.
At the same time, Ukraine is the most suitable battlefield. First of all, Ukraine is the battlefield with the shortest logistical supply line for the Russian army, which is most suitable for the Russian army. No matter whether the Russian army fights well or badly, the Russian army is sure to control the battlefield. Secondly, Russia also needs to see how many winters Europe can last.
Putin more than ten years ago had a keen sense that the contradiction between Russia and the United States and the West would further intensify, and had long been prepared for this war. Putin now has food, energy, a complete military industrial chain and several reliable partners. It can be said that Putin has relatively well completed the adjustment of Russia's economic structure and can effectively withstand the impact of long-term war and economic sanctions . The cost of war belongs to both sides, it depends on who can afford it more. In this comparison, Ukraine is clearly at a disadvantage. The battlefield is within Uzbekistan, and it is Uzbekistan that has been severely affected in terms of industrial and agricultural production and people's lives. At the same time, the West needs Russia's mineral resources and food.
The time effect of the protracted war will become increasingly apparent. As the protracted war prolongs, its radiation will affect all aspects of the world, causing intensification and transformation of conflicts and undercurrents in various regions.It has a great impact on the social stability, political ecology, investment environment, trade, production development, life security, etc. of the Western world, especially Europe.
As long as the Russian army's physical losses can be controlled to a certain acceptable level, as long as the Russian army controls the air. Russia has the strength to fight a protracted war. Now deploying bunkers is just the beginning of a protracted war.
