In their opinion, the so-called “dragon's teeth” should prevent the rapid advance of the Armed Forces.
Russia began construction of defense structures around the occupied city of Mariupol . For this purpose, two factories manufacture concrete pyramidal anti-tank structures, known as “dragon's teeth”, reports the intelligence of Great Britain.
“Dragon's teeth” are probably installed between Mariupol and the village of Nikolske, and from the northern side of Mariupol to .Old Crimea.
“Mariupol is part of the Russian “land bridge” from Russia to Crimea, a key logistical line of communication,” the intelligence agency notes.
Such fortifications were also sent to prepare defensive fortifications in occupied Zaporizhzhia and Kherson. In this way, Russia strengthens its lines in all areas of occupation. Thus, on October 19, 2022, the owner of Wagner's private military company, Yevgeny Prigozhin, announced the construction of a fortified “Wagner line” of defense in the Luhansk region occupied by Russia.
“This activity shows that Russia is making significant efforts to prepare a defense in depth along the current front line, likely to prevent any rapid advance by Ukraine in the event of a breakthrough,” analysts say.
