  1. Not really. There are mines, artillery, ATGM and enemy tanks + air power.

  2. They work great for Ukraine.

  3. But placing charge slows you down plus exposes you to enemy fire. So defenses do their job.

  4. If it was so easy Ukraine would not be called the army of diggers.

  5. They do have enough men now.

  6.  @freedomordeath89  So what that they enter - does not really helps them does it?

  7. Well, so far we do not see this from either side.

  8.  @hamzamahmood9565  That was a scare strategy. Remember that they moved out in 24h without any traffic.

  9. They are effective - they held out against Russian attacks. They held out against Ukrainian attacks.

  10. Nah, building 4th Reich would be a better spend of the $$$ - why support racially inferior Nazi?

  11. On video they were shown to work against tanks very well, they roll over if you hit them.

  12.  @freedomordeath89  Ah, so you need a special tank, with a plow in front, that is going to make a single way through the field while enemy's troops take positions around this "alley of death" and kill a lot of stupid Ukies. Got it.

  13. Immobile fortifications win. See how Ukraine used them? Why would they not work for the other side?

  14. And then BOOM as tank is now immobilized by a mine.

  15. No, once you hit them, they turn and roll

  16. Yet, its winning... How?

  17. Actually Mongols were defeated... by castles. I.e. it was the invention of a castle that caused invasion of Europe to fail when they come for 2nds. Castles build from stone and bricks slowed Mongols down & Mongols had no time to build siege engines - nor having them was a good idea for army build on speed.

  18.  @rangb126  i did not say collapse, i replied to your thesis that the castles Europeans build did not matter. They did. A lot. They were one of the main causes why invading Europe failed, not the only one, but one of main ones.

  19. @Test test Yeah, sure, and who is going to protect these SAMs? What SAMs anyway - I was under impression most are destroyed. Russia has advantage in numbers, ammo available, recon ability and range. Same precision. Also has heavy drone advantage and heavy glide bomb advantage. Russia also has heavy advantage in armor. Only thing Ukraine can hope for is numbers - lots of troops and simply taking heavy losses. This is what Russia hopes for - trading super heavy losses for some land. Once offensive is over, Russia can counter. Essentially the sooner Ukraine goes on full offensive the sooner we see how badly they are loosing the war.

  20. LOL!

  21. Yes it did!

  22. Smart man. Probably the best politician in all of EU!

  23. Nah, time is on Russian side - they can wait. Pressure is on Ukraine. Problem is they lost the war - the do an offensive, Russia counters and boom. They do nothing and eventually they will be beaten into the ground. Waiting buys them time - prolongs the war and hope.

  24. It will sink Biden even more!

  25. We see how well cope offensive will do - once it is over we see what Ukies do... fight to the last one? Surrender?
