The secret service was involved.
On Facebook, Major-General of the Security Service of Ukraine in reserve Viktor Yagun wrote about a new kind of warfare - underground warfare, citing the example of Lukashenko's regime, which is digging tunnels on the border with the European Union. How can tunnels be used today?" This question was posed to the Major General by Charter97.org:
- The situation is very simple, underground tunnels are actively used in many countries. I was already reminded after the post that we should remember Vietnam as well. In Vietnam, so-called rat holes were actively used against American troops, given the physique of the Vietnamese. It was very difficult for the Americans to climb into these holes and look for something there.
Let us also remember the catacombs in Ukraine (including Odessa), where entire guerrilla groups survived in the dungeons.
In modern warfare, Hezbollah and Hamas are actively using tunnels. Israel, on the other hand, has received special information that it turns out that they are not the ones building them, but engineers from North Korea. The main beneficiaries of this are the Koreans, who receive currency for construction.
Very many countries use either undergrounds or tunnels to hide something. Even countries like Finland, which built entire underground cities underneath ordinary cities. The same Switzerland, Italy before the First World War, that is, these are not modern inventions.
Now, with the dominance of drones on the battlefield, when you can not hide anywhere and in any way, very many units simply go underground, hide, camouflage in special shelters.
- In your post you mentioned the situation in Belarus. Lukashenko's regime is digging similar tunnels on the borders with the EU. What can he prepare for?
- It is a different situation when smugglers use tunnels. They can be less professional or more.
We had a story in Ukraine about 15 years ago, if I'm not mistaken, when they found a tunnel from Uzhgorod to Slovakia. Uzhgorod is 1.5 kilometers from the border with a neighboring country, and planes have to come in from the Slovakian side in order to land at the Uzhgorod airfield. Such a paradox.
Smugglers from one of the outermost houses of Uzhgorod (near the airport) made a long tunnel, which ended far beyond the border with Slovakia. And there in one of the hangars there was an exit to the surface, where trucks were loaded, not just some box, but trucks were loaded and left.
It was all very professional, miners from Donetsk worked there, who laid this tunnel, created electric cars. These wagons were used to transport serious shipments of smuggled goods. On the border with Poland, Lithuania and Belarus the situation is similar, but taking into account the control of the special services of Belarus, I think that it is all under their control. Without their permission, large-scale works could not be carried out there.
They are really trying to destabilize the situation in the border area by simply sending an unlimited number of migrants there. It is no longer possible to get there just like that, there are serious engineering structures there. There is a question of mined approaches to the border.
