    I ricercatori propongono di “ricreare” le terre di confine dell’Europa per respingere i nemici – Il ripristino delle foreste selvagge, delle torbiere e delle zone umide creerebbe barriere difensive difficili da attraversare per le unità corazzate nemiche, a una frazione del costo dei fossati anticarro in cemento, apportando allo stesso tempo benefici ambientali

      I still occasionally think of that American officer, during some field exercises in Masuria before the Ukrainian war, who was overflying the area, looking at those countless swamps, lakes, forests and chokepoints, and then concluded that this terrain doesn’t favor the defender.

      I hear the ardennes are so densly forested no armoured units could get through.

      So they can do this for war, but not for the people and animals to enjoy.

      They would make it much easier for DRGs to operate though … see Sumy.

      Pretty naive to think 21st century wars will be fought with men.

      I agree that we should return Moscow to being a swamp.

      That makes sense. If the next war will happen in 1940.

      But their point stands regardless of war. It just that no one listens to them so they try this argument. Fair game.

      im all for nature restoration, but this isnt an amazing excuse. the ardennes didnt stop the nazi`s either.

      Ok, but this literally is limited to eastern Poland and Finland.

      Everywhere else there are eurofriends.

      Ukraine is doing this on their border with belorus. Good for everyone (even belorus).

      The answer is beavers. Bring a shit ton of beavers to the border areas and give them maps. They will build their damn, build walls out of trees, and flood the area to make it impassable.

      Hear me out: we leave the anti-tank barriers so that the Russians don’t go and kill the cute little frogs, and we put the cute frogs so that Planet Wild can do a special episode on “we build the largest green zone in the world with the help of little green men”. And the whole episode is “spot the Finnish sniper hiding in the snow” and those geo-guesser guys finally loose something.

      Not just at the fraction of the cost but also at a greater defensive value.

      Mam made obstacles are only speed limits. Which in turn gives more time for defenders to locate and destroy / hamper the attacker. However, that window if opportunity is small if the defender don’t have troops near by.

      Natural obstacles can stretch kilometers, making it much greater the speed limit overall and ease with which a good engineering unit can cross it is negated by the sheet volume of passage to be secured.
