Fortification is not a panacea. Whether a criticism and how the situation with the defensive structures of the Armed Forces looks true

"Fortification is not a guarantee that these positions will not go into the hands of the enemy. But if we have not yet acquired the system, then it is time to do it. For 10 years we are fighting yet. Fast to dig up what is needed, with the necessary equipment, on the necessary areas. " Military blogger Alexander Karpyuk (Serge Marco) reflects on effective fortifications on the enemy's way. Fortifications. This is already so worn -out the subject that he smokes.

And so, immediately, people who sometimes say that there are no fortifications in some area, they were not always right. It's me like an aerial reconnaissance. Because it was already in our area when we were talking about one area where there were no fortifications, and I flew above them every day. But not all - aero -intelligence, and the ability to get an eye to the sector of 10 square kilometers is not all to pretend to be done here, what was not done here and what will be now. So here. Nuances.

In some places where active actions take place, it is almost impossible to make good fortifications. Because you will not delay concrete slabs and other building materials on the hands of the fighters. The modern front is a place where FPV is flying 12-15 km, a couple of tens of wings in the air, and BM-21 operate 2-3 cars. Near our armor began to dig a line of defense, and now we have everything on the field, and the UMPC, and 152mm, and cartridges under our feet.

We go, we go around the inseparable, in the next field, the mines were filled in general. I understand that you are screaming about the need for fortifications and to make fortifications in such conditions is somewhat different, but we are on Facebook, we are for simple decisions. When the defense line goes through the settlement, as a rule, fortifications are no longer digging there, because their role is played by buildings. Which are as well as prepared fortifications.

But there is an opportunity to go to a neighboring building, knock out a couple of outbrazur, sandstones - and went again. In addition to fortifications, equipment and people are required. Because fortification structures must be equipped with embrasures, fired firing agents, a stretched ligament, a map of mine fields, etc. Fortifications work only when there are people who protect them.

It does not work as civilians believe, well, they dug the trenches there, they threw, if necessary - you jumped and immediately fight. No, weapons, people and many things are needed there. That is, fortifications also require a resource that we have limited. And we cannot dig across the country, because in order for this to work, we simply will not be enough weapons and people. Which are not enough to prepare the defense lines in already obvious areas.

If the fortification is not defended, they will quickly become hostile fortifications. And they will already work against us. As an example, reed. This in our direction was the most protected area. The height coated with concrete, the embrasants that keep large sectors with ordinary machine guns, but it is not possible to keep it, and now, now all these fortifications work against us in this direction.

That is, if you do not have people to keep these fortifications - then tomorrow it will be enemy fortifications. Well, the final. Be that as it may, Kharkiv near the border from the Russian Federation, and such fortification cities should be used basic. Fortification is one of the means that will facilitate your defense.

In addition, the main areas of supervision of the main sections, the fitting electricity and connection to the positions, the logistics and the place of storage of technochers, and the warehouses should be laid, and the equipment that will require linear defense should be installed. Yes, fortifications are not a prodigation and a guarantee that these positions will not go into the hands of the enemy. But if we have not got a system yet, then it's time to do it. We are fighting for 10 years.
