The 'Surovikin line' is a formidable 81-mile Russian trench system consisting of a series of obstacles including landmines.
A report published Thursday by ISW, a U.S.-based think tank, cites geolocated footage showing that Ukrainian armored vehicles were operating beyond the"tri-layered defense" line and were engaging"in limited combat" west of the settlement of Verbove. The think tank cautioned that it was"unclear if Ukrainian forces retain these positions."
ISW said that Ukrainian forces breached the line by pushing through"Russian anti-tank ditches and dragon's teeth obstacles," becoming"the first observed instance of Ukrainian forces operating armored vehicles beyond the Russian tri-layer defense." "Russian forces currently defending in western Zaporizhzhia Oblast have been unable to prevent Ukrainian forces from making gradual but steady advances since mid-August," it continues.
