Russians are kings of defense.

The Reich is poised to conquer Luhansk.

But it will lose again unless it can take and hold Melitopol this time.

“Melitopol. That’s the key, Brad.”

Those lines are not useless, but breakable.
However, the best is just to ignore them, just like the Germans did when they invaded France in WWII.
The massive “Ligne Maginot” actually accelerated the German invasion and made it easy. Because the French relied solely on that defense line - wrongly believing it was impenetrable...
Ukrainians will use a contra-measure that might actually help them in taking their country back.

Patton was the guy that stalled out around the Metz fortifications.

Think of Iraq and Saddam Hussein. His formidable defensive lines were breeched in the blink of a corps of engineers eye.

The Russian pyramids are a joke
