Western observers are closely monitoring the military situation on the Ukrainian front, using in particular satellite images to analyze the ongoing fortification works of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

The Russians built the longest defensive line after the Second World War

- it is noted in the DefenceNet edition.

As indicated, "a solid protective strip begins from the Dnieper estuary and ends in Belarus" and is designed to deter the advance of hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles, which will be covered by massive artillery fire from hundreds of enemy guns. According to the author, fortifications were considered by many as a "strategic anachronism", but the fortified areas of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have become a significant obstacle to the advancement of Russian troops [possibly due to the fact that they are located mainly in cities and other settlements, unlike the field structures of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation].

Fortification works are proceeding at a rapid pace. Two months ago, satellite images showed Russian fortifications only in the Luhansk sector and in the northern part of the Donetsk front.

However, now [data as of January 31] fortifications and trenches have covered the entire territory adjacent to the Theater of Operations. The Russians are going to meet the massive offensive of Western Leopard-1/2, M1A2 and Challenger-2 tanks along with hundreds of armored vehicles

- explained in the Greek press, showing the corresponding map.

Allegedly, to break through the Russian defense, the Armed Forces of Ukraine will need to create a multiple numerical superiority. But in order to stop massive attacks in the operational reserve of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation there are 150 thousand fighters from the recent mobile appeal, who were left for "hard times". Enemy armored vehicles will have to overcome tough opposition from anti-tank means: it is stated that 800 ATGMs with 4 thousand missiles are placed on the first line of the Russian fortified strip; saturation of the second-echelon ATGMS is carried out due to the mass production of the Kornet and Metis complexes.

The Russians intend to wear down the Ukrainian forces in the battles and destroy them when they are thrown into an attack of fortifications [no later than the beginning of April]. After that, they expect to start their offensive already

- the conclusion is made in DefenceNet.
