Digging out the old diagrams of the Soviet bear claw positions and their obstacles belts, it’s beginning to look familiar. As always, time favors the defender.
Rolling back the security zone, breaching, and clearing defensive positions is one of the most complex combined arms endeavors there is. Even with PGMs, MICLICs, and mounted breaching there will be a requirement at some point for bayonet and grenade work.
Of course, a poorly built defense can be a trap for the defender. Like all things, its attention to detail and rehearsal. That requires leadership which may be in short supply.
