First thing I thought of was the battle of Hürtgen Forest and the way the Germans used air burst shells to turn the trees into wooden shrapnel...
The fir trees were tall enough (up to 100 feet) and substantial enough to detonate PD fuses. The results for troops, even those in foxholes, was devastating, if they had not built overhead cover.
In the Museum Huertgenwald 1944 und im Frieden in Vossenack someone deposited a hundredweight of the shrapnel he had found in the Hürtgen: six-inch long jagged shards of iron. Nasty stuff if you do not have substantial overhead cover.
Probably true for most foxholes. In fact, the Germans were the only guys who built concrete trenches with drainage systems in the Great War because (a) water-filled trenches means trench foot and thus disabled soldiers and (b) they were Germans and if you can line your trenches with concrete and install drainage systems, why not?
edit to remove the video, just realized that there is a two word homage to russian warship about 2/3 of the way through

They built these directly against the road. Runoff from the road will fill them. Also, once its wet and some heavy equipment gets run on that road, they'll see some cave ins.
and make it easier for the ukrainians to bulldoze over them to cover the bodies when all is said and done.
Good thread here
First thought I had was the walls were too thin and the holes too close together. A good hard rain will collapse them, probably with soldiers inside...
I've mentioned it before but Star Market in Five Points, Huntsville, is the closest supermarket/pharmacy for those on us on Monte Sano. Pretty close to the beginning of the plague, they had a cute little checker with an accent I didn't immediately recognize, so I asked her where she was from. She said "I am Ukrainian." Taking a guess - IDK why - I just said "Donbas?" Looking surprised, she said "yes." I asked her what language she usually spoke and she answered "Ukrainian." Then, making a little face, and turning her face aside, she said "And Russian, of course." In subsequent conversations, she told me she traveled back and forth a lot. (IDK how you manage that, working at Star.)I haven't seen her lately and think about her a lot, wondering if the war caught her in the Donbas...
We had this happen here
Houston's Russian General Store drops 'Russian' from sign amid Ukraine invasion
Community members expressed support for the longtime store after news of the change spread on Nextdoor.
The pandemic had already interrupted immunization efforts and caused a resurgence in several places where it had been absent for years or decades. This is just sad. And some want to make it law that these immunizations not be required for school here. I guess they arrogantly believe it can't come back here.
Awesome if true. There have been reports in weeks past of this occurring
