In the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine, the Russian occupiers are installing concrete structures (dragon's teeth) to slow down the counteroffensive of the Ukrainian military in the event of a breakthrough. This is stated in the latest intelligence report of the Ministry of Defense of Great Britain.
As noted, the occupiers began to build defensive structures around captured Mariupol. For this purpose, two factories produce concrete pyramidal anti-tank structures, known as dragon's teeth. Probably, the scouts write, they are installed between Mariupol and the village of Mykilske, as well as from the north of Mariupol to the village of Old Crimea. Mariupol is part of the Russian "land bridge" to the Crimean peninsula, a key logistical link, the British Ministry of Defense said.
In addition, the "dragon's teeth" were taken to the temporarily captured Zaporizhzhya and Kherson.
"This activity indicates that Russia is making significant efforts to prepare defenses in depth along the current front line, likely to prevent any rapid Ukrainian advance in the event of a breakthrough," the report said.
