The persistent reports/narratives of Ukrainian prepared defensive positions seems to be a lack of qualified combat engineer knowledge on prepared positions sitting or positioning or the use of civilian contractors who are just being paid to contruct such defensive positions, trenches, strong points, obstacles,etc.
Still a waste of resources and money, especially as Ukraine's supporters/allies are sending engineering assets and money also.
Back in the 1980's I made my guys in my gun crew dig trenches, they hated it. But had we had to fight the knowledge would keep them alive. Digging in is unglamorous, but vital.
Thanks
Thanks Don
That the assault troops dig in at night shows a well drilled opponent that has learned something.

Thanks Don and Tom again.
Thank you. The Russians take so much Ukrainian land. It is heartbreaking.
