That the relevant structures of Ukraine have accelerated the construction of defensive positions on several front lines, in particular, placing anti-tank “dragon teeth”, as well as digging ditches, infantry trenches, and laying mines fields near fortified lines, writes NBN, citing the X-account of the British Ministry of Defense.
According to British military intelligence analysts, it is very likely that the above expansion of defensive lines will minimize the ability of the Russian occupation forces to advancing further or taking advantage of significant tactical advantages within the framework of the current offensive operations of Putin's army.
In addition, the formation of such reinforced defensive positions indicates a transition to the grueling nature of the war, while simultaneously meaning “any attempt a breakthrough [of the occupiers] will most likely be accompanied by large losses.”
Earlier, we wrote that British intelligence had uncovered a number of pre-election problems for the Kremlin caused by effective strikes by Ukrainian UAVs.
