How hard is it to take out a road in an all out frontal war like this?
And especially in Ukraine where right next to the road, there's the mud that IS the black Earth only because it sucks you down into it and turns your body into its nutritions, for the next yeara Sun Flowers. It's very romantic, in a way. But it is not like in Scandinavia (on the country side) where when you lose the road to some big gaping hole in the middle of it, even as a civilian on your way to work.
One just finds a way to cross the ditch (finds stuff in the forest to put into an aross the ditch, so that one can). And within minutes one has bypased the obstacle. I bet this is the same in Canada. Whereever you put you tons heavy wheels, there will nyway be nothing but stones down there to keep everything moving on the surface. But in Ukraine, well, it seems to me they lack some stone and gravel in order to build any roads to any reasonable extent. And as soon as they leave the stone road, they sink into their Black Earth.
How come, that not a few salvos of howitzers, or even a number of night drones simoly dropping of a number of as heavy land mines as they can. They detonate them all. In order to make even a once big road unpassable. WHY are all these roads, as this kind of reporting indicates at least, still left useful for the enemy behind their frontline?
The first thing one assumes as an officer as the first firing gets going at the front, is that ALL civilized routs of communication backwards are already destroyed. That's plan A, that's plan B, that's plan C. It is only when one fails to plan E as in Evacuation, that one takes a first look. And what a surprise it would be that it is as if in Ukrainge 2024!
