This afternoon, Ukrainian drones struck the Gazprom Neftekhim facility in Salavat, Bashkortostan. The main topic, however, is the state of frontline fortifications. Modern warfare demands new strategies, as open fortifications are easy drone targets. Aerial reconnaissance and camouflage are now essential.
A separate engineering brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces posted a photo of a classical fortification built in an open field, drawing criticism from Ukrainian soldiers. Such fortifications provide no protection from drones and complicate frontline logistics. The enemy easily identifies and attacks these positions, while Russian forces are skilled at building trenches and underground shelters to protect personnel.
The issue lies in outdated regulations and standards, which have not kept up with modern warfare. Fortifications should account for drones and robotic complexes, as mistakes in organization can cost lives.
The author urges increased publicity to prompt change and calls for donations to support the military with FPV drones. There is also a focus on the difficult situation in Kupyansk, where the enemy has advanced using infiltration tactics, including moving through pipes and disguising as civilians. Ukrainian forces struggle to maintain control due to lack of personnel.
Thanks to volunteer support, units receive modern drones, boosting defense capabilities. The article expresses gratitude to all supporters helping Ukraine adapt to modern war realities.
