Brig Gen Oleksandr Tarnavskiy estimated Russia had devoted 60% of its time and resources into building the first defensive line and only 20% each into the second and third lines because Moscow had not expected Ukrainian forces to get through.
Guys don’t forget how amazing it is already just by saying the word Russian defensive line. Russia was supposed to be the top dog, but it is now in defensive position.
I wonder how far out of the norm this is. I’d imagine the first line is usually going to have the most time and resources dedicated to it, but ignoring the fallback lines because “nah theh won’t breach it” is just stupid
It has probably less to do with ignoring the fallback lines and more with the fact that they simply don’t have the recources and time to build any kind of foolproof defensive lines. Their troops are stretched quite thin there and by strenghtening one part you’re just going to make the Ukrainians attack you elsewhere.
The hubris is shocking

Yeah if we’re talking about the aggressor’s defensive lines somebody done goofed

Russian command underestimating their opponent and/or being incompetent. No, we haven’t seen evidence of that anywhere in this war so far.
Slava Ukraini
We’re lucky they’re so fucking stupid.
