Ukraine’s push to retake territory back from Russia has been slow, as its forces face a deadly problem: landmines. Russian troops spent months fortifying the 900 mile-long front line with anti-tank ditches, concrete obstacles, trenches and minefields. How is the Ukrainian military adapting to account for these mines?
WSJ explains how Moscow created one of the largest minefields in the world in the occupied regions and what it means for Kyiv’s counteroffensive.

  • During the Vietnam War, the American army laid more than 270 million landmines on the border between Laos and Vietnam. 80 million of them are still lying there, taking their victims almost every day. The fact that it was the Americans who laid these mines is of course not worth a headline.

Going back further, you can blame the CIA for enabling the maiden Coup in 2014 and in so doing installing a pro-western puppet. Also, Zelensky and several NATO countries for tearing up the Minsk Agreement and using it for toilet paper.

  • Only six miles in three months Ukraine has advanced in that direction and they are operating in the gray zone before the first main line of Russian defense, really? That sounds more like a static front to me than anything else. Of course, any defense can be penetrated, but at what cost? If the Ukrainians keep moving at this rate, they will run out of men before they reach the Azov Sea coast. PS The Ukrainians not only "lost some Western military equipment." (That’s downplaying the numbers) They lost up to 20 or 25% in the initial days of the offensive. That’s a huge amount of men and equipment in only few days.

    • That isn't what is happening. The US is giving Ukraine aid in the form of vehicles, weapons, equipment, etc. The dollar values you see on the news are simply how much that equipment is worth. A lot of it is outdated equipment that has been collecting dust and is expensive to store. Other times, it's something being produced by American companies, which means the money is going to the US, not Ukraine. It's like buying a cake for your friend. If the cake costs $10, it doesn't mean you handed him a $10 bill. That $10 value attached to the cake is simply how it was worth when it was sold.

What is different between Russian minefield and other countries is that Russian minefield is plotted carefully by the Russian and only they know the exact location of it and this apparently work in reducing Ukraine's ability to attack.

    • Microprocessor controlled mines can be activated or deactivated and destroyed using a software system. It's really not difficult to do this as the battery backup system is so small and like many movement activated systems already incorporated into say, dashboard cameras, they can remain in low power standby mode for months possibly years. Not from the UK and top secret and not for publication. Stop switching off your phone because we can still hear you. Please forget the above as its classified.

  • I am led to believe that Americans are the most capable de-mining experts in the world. Why not send them in to do clear the mines? In case you are worrying that America is going to be accused of direct involvement in the war, be rest assured that it is not. De-mining is a humanitarian activity to save lives. But while stop there, why not send Jens Stoltenberg and Zelensky in as well ?

    • We are not discussing old mistakes from other country’s, we are discussing what is happening now and these wars are not even closely related to invading another country to expand territory. Talk again when you see the US invading Mexico or Canada to expand territory. There are also documentary’s enough, you can just look it up, also negative ones from mainstream media that did not have to spend fifteen years in prison for inconvenient news.

But I know what you mean. Without the West there wouldn't be some countries. India for example is a fake country. It is a subcontinent with hundreds of gods and languages. The British made it one country. Good for Pakistan to get out. Without Russian technology India would loose Kashmir years ago. They can barely fight with hygiene. Now they are supported with cheap Russian oil. They should send some troops the help Russia. But those guys are just ungrateful. Big L for Britain to give them a pseudo-country.

Easy digging. many are just set out in the open in tall grass, or deliberately laid to be seen and avoided, thereby channeling vehicles into more unseen mines. Simple denial of area theory, and it works. Problem is, no matter how this war ends, Ukrainian farms will be uselss for many years, with accidental deaths perhaps for the next 100. There are still No Go areas in France from 1914-1918.⚠
