    Yes, that’s exactly what I’m talking about. That’s the thick crust of defensive lines. Once you’re through that it becomes easier to move.

    The whole point here is that people are complaining that the offensive is “moving slowly” and I’m pointing out that of course it’s moving slowly, it has to get through the most heavily defended regions first. Once it’s done that it’ll move more quickly.

      Yes, exactly. The soviet defensive doctrine is partially inefficient because they wanted the entire operational area to be hardened without a specific weak point to exploit or breakthrough. The offensive army is forced to Trudge 😉 through the entire region.
