Defensive structures of a high degree of protection are currently being built in Zaporizhzhia.

Ivan Fedorov, the head of Zaporizhzhya OVA, told journalists about this during an on-site meeting.

The structure, which is called UT-1, is a place for placing equipment and shelter for the crew of a combat vehicle in the event of shelling. Taking into account that today the main threat is FPV drones, they made a step into the shelter in the form of a "zigzag" so that there was an opportunity to hide from the drones. All construction is carried out in close communication with the military, starting with the fact that we received the task from them, where to build and what. We have to build what is extremely necessary today.

Specialists and equipment are involved in the construction. Non-explosive structures are being installed: tetrahedrons or "dragon's teeth", egos, "entanglement", communication passages, fire structures are being arranged, and a complex of shelters is being built.

Today we drove by and saw that large-scale construction is underway along the entire front line. There is a deadline. The Commander-in-Chief has set specific deadlines. Every day we report, hold meetings and clearly have to be responsible for the terms of building fortifications. On the Zaporozhye front line, the work will be completed on time.

The representative of the company says that today there are no more modern fortifications than these.

According to the contractors, during the construction of protective structures, blocks made of concrete of a special grade and fittings are used, which provides strong protection.

Mine barriers and other things will also be erected along the defense lines.

The Zaporizhzhia Region allocated UAH 1.3 billion for defense in 2024.
