Land mines return to Europe as front-line states fear Russian invasion

With former president Donald Trump encouraging Russia to attack NATO territory and U.S. support for Ukraine flagging, some of the nations that border Russia are looking for ways to harden their defenses, considering land mines and other technologies from ancient wars in a bid to blunt a Kremlin attack.


Two years after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, countries such as the Baltic states and Finland warn that a threat to their own territory may be just over the horizon, with some intelligence agencies saying the Kremlin could make such an attempt within a decade.

Now they are taking lessons from their enemy’s robust defense lines in Ukraine, noting that Russia’s system of #minefields, #concertina wire and #trenches made it all but impossible for Kyiv’s forces to advance last summer.

European states are still clamoring for F-35 fighter jets and space-age weapons, but the renewed interest and investment in century-old tactics is the latest example of how Russia’s war in Ukraine is upending long-held assumptions about how to defend NATO territory, with a revived focus on stopping #tanks and mobile #artillery.

And though policymakers say they are still confident that NATO would come to their defense, they add that Trump’s rhetoric makes it more important than ever to be able to hold their own for as long as they can

Around #Avdiivka alone, the Russians are losing 60 tanks a month. And that number could grow as the 239th Tank Regiment rolls into battle—and runs afoul of the same #minefields and #artillery and #drone kill-zones that pulverized the tank units that came before it. #Ukraine #Russia

Avdiivka Eats Russian Tanks. The Kremlin Is About To Feed It More.

The ongoing Avdiivka battle, one of the most intensive of Russia’s winter offensive, is a trap for Russian armor—and an opportunity for Ukraine to attrit Russian forces.

The idea is to use drones to sow mined fields with seeds of honey plants, therefore avoiding human contact with the mines. Their nectar will be collected by bees. Thus, #Minefields #Honey!

#Ukraine diplomats will take this honey to meetings and on work trips, handing it to public figures around the world.
