Good for them but itβs a hell of a defensible pinch point if the Russians could get their act together. I hope they do not.

From the graphic it doesnβt look too difficult to breach. If Russia moves to counter this breach then just pick another undefended spot and breach there. Just keep repeating the process until the entire thing looks like Swiss cheese.
You could even use this approach to force Russia to spread out their defenses by targeting (even minimally) multiple undefended or lightly defended spots at the same time.
10 billion rubles? It's a wall of dirt and some anti-tank blocks
It's a hundred million euros. That not THAT much money for numerous kilometers of obstacles and earthworks.
Their mileage varried as getting people to get something done costs way less then when you'd want that thing done here.
pottery material is expensive.
I don't think these are ever ultimately difficult to cross if undefended. The point is to stop them long enough to push them back so they can't undo it.
The point is its over an extended length so they can't just immediate cross somewhere, you get time to stop them.
I bet now that Russia failed to defend this spot, they'll have to try and close it, which will divert resources and let Ukraine try and open another spot as well.
The gif also shows that there was/ is a mine field and moat before the wall of dirt fwiw. We're looking at it after it has had a path cleared
How much is 10 billion rubles in dollarydoos? Or any other Western-friendly currency?
Looks to be about 115,738,071.00 USD!
