Part 2/8:
A typical Russian trench system comprises a zigzag main trench designed to minimize direct enemy fire and various branches serving as artillery positions, ammunition stores, and advanced fighting positions. Small dugouts serve as shelter for soldiers from bombardments. In the hypothetical scenario outlined in the analysis, a team of 20 Ukrainian soldiers faces 10 Russian defenders entrenched in such a system.
To effectively handle this engagement, a two-squad strategy is employed: one squad acts as a base of fire while the other approaches the trench directly to seize control. This division of labor allows for focused and organized assaults, a hallmark of successful modern military operations.
