What is known about the specific defense line of the Russian army in Donbas

Analysts of the portal note that the analogue of the defense line, built from 2,100 railway cars of various types, stretched 30 km from the railway station in Olenivka to the occupied Volnovakha.

The Russian occupiers started building a kind of defensive line back in July 2023.

For this, wagons stolen by Russia from the occupied Ukrainian territories were used.

This is a very specific engineering structure, the effectiveness of which is difficult to assess. The intention is clear - an obstacle to the advancement of the Defense Forces. It can be considered as a separate line of defense, because it is extremely difficult to damage, move or blow up a 30-kilometer-long mass of metal, and the movement of equipment through such an obstacle without breaking through the corridor is impossible, - explain DeepState analysts.

The construction of this "train" was verified by the DeepState team visually on satellite images for different periods of time.

The enemy has not been able to pass through our mine-explosive fortification barriers for quite a long time. We remember that the enemy started his offensive here in the middle of October and it is still going on. But it cannot last forever. Of course, this enemy needs a lot of resources, Yevlash emphasized.
