Trucks transporting concrete pillboxes were spotted in Sevastopol

A video featuring trucks transporting concrete pillboxes in Sevastopol was published online.

The footage was released by Twitter user Capt_Navy.

These fortifications could be used to strengthen the Russian defense in temporarily occupied Crimea. Alternatively, they could be sent to equip positions in other occupied territories.

“I came across trucks transporting such pillboxes on the street several times. I don’t know where they will be installed, but they look somewhat fragile compared to the pillboxes of the last war (there is one old pillbox near my house),” the message says.

At the same time, information about the enemy using concrete obstacles for defense has also appeared earlier.

In particular, in December of last year, the Defence Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine released a photo capturing fortifications along the coastline in the Saky district of temporarily occupied Crimea.

A network of mine barriers, defensive fighting positions, and trenches were being set up near the village of Molochne. Additionally, rows of concrete pyramids, the so-called “dragon’s teeth”, were being installed.

The Russian military uses concrete obstacles along the entire front line. In particular, for setting up a “line of defense” in the Belgorod region of the Russian Federation, which should become a continuation of the “Wagner line” in the Luhansk and Donetsk regions.

“Dragon’s teeth” were also spotted in Melitopol.

It was also reported that concrete fortifications for Russian troops are manufactured by enterprises in Belarus.
