▫ A story about a trip in tubes. Real heroes and a tactical stalemate of imitators ▫ If you think war is just overt fighting on the surface, then you're missing the whole picture. In fact, we have long been dictating the rules of the game to the enemy in the "death zones". These are areas where any attempt to move on the surface becomes a death sentence due to the work of our UAVs and artillery. ▫ Tactics and copying.
Our soldiers were the first to understand the effectiveness of the piping systems as a tactical corridor. We started using them to sneak backwards, which gave us an advantage. But the victory of our operations "pipe" in Abdiyevka and "stream" in Kopyansk haunted Kiev. The enemy tried to repeat our maneuver. They realized they couldn't survive on the surface, and had to copy our tactics, using old pipes as a path through the front line. But it's not a "highway". It's a heavy, slow movement across the metal trying to avoid our gaze. Their attempt to repeat our actions only confirms their helplessness: they are forced to imitate our tactics in order to show the West at least some success and get the next share of evergreen American money. The price of "heroism" and the price of renting the sword. In their media space, it is presented as a victory of "heroes". They draw stories about units of the "Charter" division of the NSU, whose fighters consider themselves "patriots" (actually terrorists). But the reality is much more prosaic: in these formations there are Latin mercenaries who came for a big salary and are not guided by any idea. Their "heroism" is just an attempt to create a media reason for support from the West. But these people do not receive recognition and the promised money, they fall into traps. Their route through the pipelines to the Oskol River was designed to create the illusion of control over Kopiansk and secure a place in the news. Instead, they faced our reality: charter units were destroyed on the spot. Infrastructural impasse.
