- As the war in Ukraine enters its third year, President Zelensky has ordered a huge building programme to try and repel the Russian army.
Along the frontline Ukrainian engineers are installing miles of defensive fortifications, from trenches to concrete bunkers.
They have an air of permanence, another sign of how positional this war has become.

You wouldn’t think this is Europe in 2024. It’s ridiculous conflict like this happens, this day & age.
People always thought that such belongs to Africa, the middle East, Asia and South America.
But human hate knows no Geography
As long as we cherish our borders, there will be wars, forever and ever.
@@duffs101 And those who have nothing interest to say torture us with downtrodden platitudes...
We thought we’d seen the last of the classic 20th century fascist dictators. We thought wrong.
It's kind of wild we lasted so long with out it. War was around before man. It will be here long after we are gone. We must be strong if we want peace.
That concrete is no thicker than my house's septic tank!
Looks like it's steel reinforced, good enough to stop bullets and indirect artillery hits
Эта сталь и разлетится в клочья в украинцев
The doorway will be inside the trench and hard to directly hit, will also probably have a sandbag /log wall built in front and looks like its very thick solid steel, the sides and roof will most likely have 5+ feet of soil/logs placed against it, id would say it would take multiple direct hits to penetrate, this is 10x better than any fortifcation ive seen so far in this war which was usually a hole with logs on it and maybe 2 feet of soil, at least its something =0
No thicker than that skull if yours then I guess.
@@JustSomeRandom-nf3uq Snapped a nerve in that thick head of yours eh. You must be living in misery. Aw poor you.
Jeez. 100 years later we’ve learned nothing.
Win-Win Cooperation is the ONLY WAY to ensure mutual survival.
A naive view, the same families who profited from Waterloo bleed both sides of money.
I've learned that Russia is hilariously incompetent.
EX NATO thinktanks warned them that they are pushing too far. Arrogance of being unreasonable is what led to this war.
We've learned to spot Hitler type's very easily. Putin is exactly like him.
Maginot line in France and Siegfried Line of Germany come to mind.
The German just won't round
Those bunkers had guns.
@@YouCountSheep these bunkers will also have guns
they dont really have much of a choice. All they can do now is hold on and pray the west comes to save them..........
Russia built defense line across Ukraine captured territory. Ukraine is doing the same. Defense doctrine is as needed as offensive. It's a defense line that creates a spring board for successful offense. According to Western defense doctrine.
FAB - 3000 will ruin this
Way overkill
They've all been used in Belgorod to suppress the Russians turning against Putin :p
The FAB3000 will do nothing. It is wonder waffle.
It relies on Ukraine having no air-defence and no counter-air assets.
And if you blow a hole in a trenchline you still have the problem of an attack being concentrated in a small area - ripe for artillery pickings. Nevermind the minefield.
Pfttt the Russians are afraid to put a plane in the air as they immediately shot down.
This won't sustain even FAB-500, even less so - FAB-1500. But, hey, nice PR by Zelensky!
And they showed it to media every details
@@ComfyDoggos russia defense is open defense while ukraine build solid cement and steel bunkers for soldiers which is showed every details inside of the bunkers and materials.

@@archiearevalo5648 Front line bunkers haven't changed sinces WW2. All bunkers are made from reinforced concrete. Everything Russia already know

That's not a fortress that's a coffin
I thought Russia ran out of ammo and rockets years ago 😂😂😂
There are these strange things called factories.
The Russian education system is pretty pathetic lmao
These bunkers and trenches are trifles for the Russian FAB gliding bombs.
Russia makes 3 million Shells a year. The entire western world can barely make 1 million. Even if the west gets involved with troops. The west lacks the ability to arm there own troops.
north Korea and Iran helped a bit
You are utterly disillusioned
And they show this in advance on social medias to help russian choose a suitable weapons capable of destroying them
The positions are also going to be geolocated
It's centuries old technology...
You do realise that anything can be destroyed? Everything is a compromise, besides, for all your russkie owners know, these video could be of prototypes or of tempt russia into certain manoeuvrers.
@@giftrichard4745 To be blunt. Trench building on this scale leaves marks on the ground that will be visible to recce air craft / drones / space craft in low orbit. Their presence is not a secret So, think about why a nation that is trying to protect its soldiers as much as a it can, fighting a defensive war at this time, would want to give those soldiers protection?
These are the same people who told the world their plans for it's counter offensive
This should have been done 10 years ago.
Летом увидишь как будут разносить эти нелепые "мега сооружения" при помощи трёхтонных авиабомб.
Вы больные? Если 80 лет назад такие укрепления нацистам не помогли, то с чего вы взяли что сегодня они остоноват Россию? Вы совсем ёбнутые?😂
Они так и сделали. В Авдеевке. Это им не помогло
@@user-lr7lo5or5x Если эти сооружения не остановили советские воиска в войне с германией, то почему они решили что сегодня они остановят российские воиска? Я поражаюсь от этой тупости! Ниодна оборона не будет иметь успехов без огневой мощи. Что толку что они ям накопают? Ямы не останавливали никого и никогда. На любую яму найдётся переправа.

I saw sections of these pre-cast trench buildings on the back of a lorry in the UK
No you didn't. They are used in the uk for other reasons
No. Britain used them in Brechin for training. The USA are hoping to conquer us via The EU remember.
This war is like Russia vs Nato
without nato?

FAB-3000 which now can glide: "What a cute spacious grave you've installed there!"
*laughs in HIMARS / GLSDB etc* Comrade, your owners have been using trenches too, they make sense, unlike the usual vatnik.
@@ptonpcHIMARS have all been destroyed in Ukrainia 😅
Where was Himars during this period? How many Himars compared to FAB-500,1000,1500,3000?@@ptonpc
@@ptonpc HIMARS is not that strong in terms of damage it's just very accurate, fast and hard to intercept, more like a surgical weapon that works on undefended targets - ships, vehicles or really small buildings, and for trenches like these you need a sledgehammer, which is exactly what FAB-3000 is.
himars cant destroy GLIDING fab bombs. that why they winveted the gliding drop@@ptonpc
If only palestian have this kind of support
Ukraine is being used to fight Russia with out the loss of American lives. Ukrainian lives mean nothing to the US. Hence why the average fighting age has gone from 32 to 43.
Kinda funny, the prefab concrete bunkers look exactly like septic tanks...
Makes sense when you think of its content.....
It actually makes sense to have similar design features since these bunkers need to be able to limit water infiltration too, just in the opposite direction (inwards rather than outwards).
@@diegoflores9237Your content is scattered all over the battlefields .
@@shaneb315Russia keeps taking Ukrainian fortified positions and Ukraine keeps begging on its knees for more weapons

Those poor souls aren't building trenches and bunkers, they're digging their own graves.
DMZ is the new reality
At least the Ukranians are building a permanent wall giving the east section of the country to Russia
the ukronazis are just copying the Surovikin line!! the thing they have mocked for over a year
That's a game changer 😂
The remnents of the fortifications around Richmond, Virginia are still visible.
Didn't have bunker buster bomb either

They are crazy.
So, is Ukraine building a border with Russia?
Every country should build like this.
Fair enough..but do they have kettles and tea making facilities?
all these trenches should of been dug a year ago
even earlier
Actually there was. But due to corruption it was not funded and it was on 2014
I have a time machine in my garage? You can go back and tell them to build it. One way costs 1BTC , are you in?
Ten years ago.

They did the same thing in Avdievka and around that area with NATO assistance, but it stopped FABS from cracking these concrete defensive postions
no defence can help vs enemy who has superior firepower and numbers so Ukraine copying Surovikin line will fail ! as for these new build strongholds well Avdievka has fallen and has been built up and prepared by nato since 2014 !
@@TheBorg01 Can't make adequate defenses in an active war zone, all these are being built in peaceful areas.
And Avdiika was taken by such overwhelming Russian force that Ukrainians abandoned their positions in a panic, leaving behind all munitions and wounded.
@@hgkwbsx7WOW...17,000 Russians killed, 30,000 Russians injured, plus 364 tanks, 248 artillery systems, 748 armored fighting vehicles, and five aircraft destroyed in Avdiivka. WOW, sure, what an overwhelming force the Russians are.
Lol. The Russians lost some 50k men there and the withdrawal was very clean as some Russian milblogers themselves have complained
the bunker will not withstand FAB 1500, FAB 3000 and FAB 5000 😂😂😂😂😂
Good test for FAB3000
even better test for Patriots
@@mirific87 No more patriots son.
That's overkill
Shouldn't the trenches have more traverse? Seem long and straight. They need to check the manuals on trenches from WW1. They had a whole science about it. A lot of blood went into gaining that knowledge
They know that they are just for show, and cannot possibly hold the Russian's for long anyway.
Beautiful field fortifications ! Much better designed than what the Russians have anywhere.
It is still on debate wheater they are functional or are able to disperse Russian forces during a fire fight.
In WW1 German's had better trenches than the Brits, as the German's were wanting to stay put and the Brits were attempting to advance. Sadly same is happening here
@@oliverlane9716 Still , there is no guarantee that those fortifications migth sustain long siege attacks.
@@MiguelJimenez-hc7ch No "debate". I have seen hundreds of videos showing precisely what you question.
@@DomWood See Maj.Gen. F.W. von Mellenthin's narratives on field fortifications in his book, "Panzer Battles". He was Rommel's Intel officer and then chief of staff. And give a look to field engineering during the American Civil War. Some of the engineers on both sides were masters at breast works and field fortifications.
Mas não disseram que a Rússia tinha armamento obsoleto, sem munição e que lutavam inclusive com pás? Pensei que o otanistão já estivesse entrando em Moscou.
It took half a year for the Russians to build the Surovikin Line. Good luck.
Why no waterproofing on the top of sleeping quarters ?
To anyone who thinks the ukraine is "winning"....these trenches are wayyyyy behind the current frontline....even they know they are losing
2years on and how its special military mission for orcs going ?
@@Joeyknows924it's going well economically the west is sinking hard in the red (inflation) 😮

That is considerably worse than the west.

2 years and still your brain is as delusional and moronic. 😂😂😂😂
you can't build trench systems near the front without losses, drones are everywhere.

So tell me against Little Russian Fanboy how is he Winning? Cause they captured...5km in the last 2 Month and lost thirty thousands of Military Personal and Tanks and other stuff? Btw How are the Oil Raffineries in Russia Burning? Heard it quite hot near them.
And aslong as the Ukrainians defend THEIRE HOMELAND . Putin isnt winning. I know its hard for u to understand.
@@slayersboxer915in what way? Because if anything, Putin already lost. Russia achieved none of their war goals. And even if Russia overrun Ukraine(which would take a few hundred years at the rate the front is moving) they will be left with a gorilla infested ruin right on their border. Not exactly winning.
Comrade vatnik, you're supposed to turn use the text of page 22. Not 19. Try again.
Do they have separate ladies bunkers with nicer decor. I hope so.
🙃 Hmm, let me think...
So a Russian FAB-1500 gliding bomb creates a crater apx. 50 meters wide and 5-6 meters deep, plus there is now FAB-3000.
Well, I am not really convinced that 2-3m deep trench even with all that reinforced concrete bunker going really help against FAB-1500, 3000; to be honest with you I don't think it would protect you even from FAB-500 gliding bomb.
This is supossed to stop artillery, for airplanes Ukraine has state-of-the-art Patriot system.
@@UnoAluminiothe cost of the fab and patriot salvo are not comparable.
@@UnoAluminio Thats what iskander is for.
@@mejust8392Jokes on you, the toilet block is placed elsewhere.
Hmm let me think ??😂😂 and how do you target it with a FAB when you vsn not see it ??? And don't know where it is ?? You made yourself look silly 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
In the age of drone and cyberwarfare, trenches are still the king for defensive war
Lol no, artillery is but only because nukes are not being used.
How will they fare against FAB-3000 and above?
Its clear.. no one is gonna win this war
Its a stalemate
This is actually what military strategy in most civilization game I played and it's very realistic.I usually don't have a better military forces most in my late game in the modern era and when I compare the Ukraine and Russia war it's almost the same of what I seen in my video game.I got a surprise attack from a superior civilization with a more military force and lose some control territory,but I was able to stop them with prepared fortification of forts or entrenched infantry able to withstand countless attack.Usually I would be in a stalemate until the a weak point of enemy position is shown after the continuous exchange of artillery rounds and battle for air superiority and I can say trench warfare is still effective unless you or your enemy have alot of long range precision missile or unconventional weapon(or mabye in the near future orbital strike).
The only difference is in a game you're playing against a computer dummy, which is really weak in Civ games, in reality you're defending against a human opponent which can improvise and develop new tactics on the go and who's also not bounded by game rules and mechanics. And also Russia does have a lot of missiles, way more than Ukraine currently has, so at this moment these Ukrainian defenses look kinda week, but we'll see, maybe NATO will start funding Ukraine once again after the US elections.
@@imyarek Make sense,but I was playing on a hard difficulty and military do use A.I for training and simulation.
What happened to barbed wire, I don’t recall seeing any during this war, and as it resembles WW1 surely it would be as effective as then.
I year ago they were screaming about pushing Russia out now😂😂😂😂
I WISH THEM GOOD LUCK! HAVE A NICE CHRISTMAS!
God Bless Ukraine.
0:08 Shown newly built defenses. Long stretches of freshly dug trenches.
Sounds like bars. Rap
Who built it the Raynes😂
They said this about the Maginot Line😂
Nothing is invincible
The Maginot line did exactly what it was designed to do. Nothing got through it!
@@sirgreilLiterally had to go through another country to bypass it.
@@Stubbino
But it still failed
Just a nice show piece for the media, the real trenches are hardly 2 feet deep with a few spots dug into the ground here and there
This is 1917 Hindenburg Line vibes, yet all this time they tell us Ukraine is winning. This clearly shows the military situation, Ukraine is beaten/exhausted.
Russian's are watching this and taking detailed notes .. good job
FAB-5000 resistant?
Fab 3000 has entered the chat 😀.
Hope the Ukrainians put ductwork in for drainage all jokes aside trench foot and frostbite is still a killer and if theyre serious about trenches they should be made to keep their men as dry and protected as possible water builds up damn fast in those things
That wil simply becoming the future and definitive border with Russia if you ask me!
Ukraine will never stop fighting for its country. Ever. Leave before Russia looses an entire generation of young men for nothing. Idiotic nationalism is all Russia has. Is Russia so awful it must inflict its misery of its neighbors.
Nah they will lose all access to the sea if they decide enough is enough but if they refuse they will lose everything.
Is it nuclear proof? 😂
Fab 1500 is waiting
Erm can they withstand a nuke?🤔
can orcs withstand nukes?
can Moscow? Ask for a stupid Russian Friend...
They go deeper glide bombs get bigger...
and the birds that deliver them dive deeper.
No they go higer so they can glide firther
Will these stand against thermobaric bombs of Russia?
They can build whatever they want, ucraine will not exist in the next future
FAB 3000 😂
The war is bad!. Western countries believe that it is only a matter of a good package of weapons and ammunition, they forget that the invaders had almost last year to fortify themselves in addition to an arsenal that seemed unlimited. The Ukrainians are slow but they must think that Ukraine is the battle line of all of Europe, without it they would quickly reach the Baltic countries, Moldava, Poland and others.
They probably made 2 of those and the rest are ww1 trenches
😂😂😂.. So there no massive counter attack anymore, when did it end
Good test infrastructure for the FAB 3000 😂
The Russian have seen the locations and the designs, probably computing a counter weapon to destroy these tunnels, at least you can be sure about it.
Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦
It will take more then that to stop Russia advancing
Ready to accept the FAB 3000 ;)
Does it work in Avdivvka ?
The fortified avdika since 2014 and still Russia took it.
Oh dear, how sad ,never mind.
like WW1 again trench war fare and the easten front WW2
These defenses alone won't help. You need to have an elastic defense because Russia will pound each position with FPV drones, artillery, and FABs.
These will not help, yes casualties, but not taking back land taken,,even these are not safe
Interesting
Slava Ucraina 💛💚💙
That' s a very sophisticated and advanced military strategy- building fortifications while you are " ALLEGEDLY " advancing, pushing Russians back and basically winning the war ..
The advice must be coming from Sandhurst trained finest officers, who live for the moment when Crimea will be British again, because only britain that used to be great once upon s time long time ago is allowed to have an empire on five continents.
Just stop already. Just stop.
Putin can return his killers to their own country any time
No match against FAB 1500 and FAB 3000.
Всё, не наступу, не границ 91го, только глухая оборона😂😂😂😂так уверены были, ничего не готовили, а теперь дупло горит😂😂
As it goes longer and deeper in Ukrainian territory it will be nastier.
Forces News needs to look at the Russian advances all along the front and the Ukrainians retreating which why they are rushing to build these fortifications.
There's been no meaningful movement on the front since Avdiivka fell. The Russians can move the front line, but they have to pay for it with tens of thousands of lives.
Can these protect Ukraine from fab 1500 or fab 3000??.
Likely these are meant to require the Russians to use such weapons to destroy them, thus bringing Russian bombers into range of Ukrainian air defense (and in the future, F-16s).
The purpose of these lines are to create a defense that Russia cannot pass without taking horrific losses not only in men and cheap stuff like ground vehicles, but also far more expensive and difficult to replace equipment like aircraft.
@@dancingferret6654 I agree, everyone is saying fabs and larger bombs will easily destroy them but russia has struggled and failed to gain air superiority so most likely 90% chance these bunkers will be attacked by artillery and drones which they will be able to handle well ...for a while...
Would these protect Ukrainian soldiers from a nuclear attack
The real question is do you wanna live there for 20 years at least?
In WW2 Germany had superior troops and equipment....but Russia had the numbers...looks like we have learned nothing....cheap mass produced shells ammo etc wins the day...especially against Russia....attrition rules with them.
They are building them for Russia 😂😂😂
They copy past Russian defense nothing else
stop cry vlad. Back to the Front u are useless as troll.
