Mine Rollers Lead The Way In Ukraine's Counteroffensive Against Russia But They Have One Big Flaw



The slow progress of Ukraine’s counteroffensive is in part due to the hurdles laid down by the Russian army in southern and eastern Ukraine. Anticipating the counteroffensive, Russian forces had begun preparing the ground along Ukraine’s likeliest axes of advance. Russian workers excavated trenches, piled up earthen berms and laid out concrete obstacles for tanks. However, Ukraine had prepared a large force of special engineering vehicles to breach enemy defences. Watch the video to find out more.

  1. they need to fabricate hundreds of those and with more distance from the tank because you have the case of twin mines on top of each other – also they need to increase metal protection of the front of the tank to divert shrapnel projectiles

  2. Ruzzia is digging deep into its soviet made stocks of everything, no matter if they are corroded and rusty they have to use them, because after Soviet period Ruzzia made very little.

  3. … Ukrainian assault is not slow due to the fortifications built by Russia, as Ukrainians did not reach yet the first line of fortifications… West is making Ukrainians cannon fodder in the war that is not Ukrainian's…

  4. There is much farming and construction equipment to clear soils.

    Stacked slightly aside, after each other,
    any middle leftovers could be cleared
    and the lane widened.

    It needs a wide lane to enable overtaking by
    Rear Generals and evacuation of wounded personnel and even damaged equipment.

  5. What about a low flying drone with metal/mine detector? Preprogrammed fly path, good bottom sensors for precise low altitude. Sending coordinates of every suspicious detection to secondary drone which bombs the spot (under supervision?) with a small grenade? Maybe possible for roads only, not for rough terrain. Lot of drones and lot of grenades needed. EW?

  6. Maybe the cluster munitions will be useful. One can blanket an area for advance with those, including trenches. The Russians use these too, so should be no ethical problem.

  7. Standard soviet AT mines are actually on the small side as far as explosive yield. They will break a track/roadwheel and shear engine mounts, but wont breach belly armor of a tank. The crew will survive. They WILL breach the belly armor of a Russian or western APC. Standard soviet battle drill was if a tank hit a mine, the following tanks did not attempt to bypass, they would get behind and push the wounded tank, using it as a impromptu mine roller.

  8. Brave people. What about just sending herds of cheap sheep 🐑🐑 or pigs? What about filling a box with car batteries then drive wheels with starter motors controlled by command wire and you have a simple deminer. You could add metal detectors or use it to drag a line of explosives to detonate the mines.

  9. i remember the Argies laying mines in the falklands and the paras sent the sheep into the fields – dinner and mine clearance in one – send in the sheep! low cost and effective.

  10. Ukraine is done, Zelensky is done, Biden is done… you are pizdets if you still want this to go on –

    Legacy of the called free world with it's leftist trans agenda puts a smile on my face when I see all these efforts go to waste

  11. Stellung wird zur Zeit von der Infanterie der Ukraine gemacht… Mann gegen Mann… durch die schützen Gräben… wenn jetzt angreifen will mit Panzern müssten sie nur bestimmte Wege ne… nicht durch das Minen Feld
