According to the article the Russians demined a path for the kamikaze tank under artillery fire, but finally the tank ran over another mine. If someone falls in love with an idea he should take care that not too many other people are affected.
.
In addition there is something about a new rail line built by the Russians:
“… Additionally, it appears the Russian High Command has lost faith in detachment commanders in Donetsk and its surroundings.
Faced with challenges in advancing and creating a sufficient buffer zone, Russians are building another railway connection 30 km away from the front.
Construction has begun and is expected to take at least six month. “Unfortunately for Russians, the whole length of the planned new railway connection is within HIMARS range, so the construction workers of the railroad will likely find themselves exactly in the same situation as the construction workers on the Antonivskyi Bridge near Kherson last year, making one step forward and two steps back every week …”.
In this case probably Russian troops will be hit. The Russian army has its own railway troops. These built a new rail line near Millerovo back in 2018, because the old one crossed Ukrainian territory in the Luhansk area.
Building a railway in himar range?
Well, it’ll certainly eat alot of ammo. Russia will just have captured Ukrainians as slave labor to build it
Given the situation of the frontline, it’s rather surprising how late the russians are planning to build those lanes now. If they lose Tokmak early, any plans to create those lanes would be untenable when artillery systems can be brought in range to establish fire control.
