Russian media brag about their defense preparations in the Hirske district in eastern Ukraine, which is somewhat in discord with the "victorious" narratives spread by the Kremlin
russian army is trying to create a long-term defense using a number of special engineering means in the area of Hirske village in the Luhansk region. Moreover, it is alleged that the "Wagner" mercenaries are engaged in the "grand construction".
The video published by the russians was outlined by OSINT researcher Benjamin Pittet who identified the geolocation.
The defense line consists of an anti-tank ditch and two rows of anti-tank fortifications, which in the west are called "dragon's teeth" (Drachenzähne in German) for their characteristic pyramidal shape.

Such teeth are supposed to hinder the movement of armored vehicles and first appeared during World War II and were widely used by Germany.

But the truth is that according to the instructions, the numbers should have been much larger, both of the teeth in the line and of the total number of such lines. The technology of their installation is also different, because in the "classic" German version, such a concrete pyramid should not just be put on the ground, but is part of a much more complex engineering structure with a concrete "foundation". This kind of defense also involves planting of anti-tank and anti-personnel mines, installing barbed wire.

Anyway, the most important is that such a defense line is being built 20 km from the current front line. Of course, this could speak of the russian plans and assessment of their own forces regarding the possibility of a further offensive. At the same time, such demonstrative actions may well be a feint aimed only at giving the appearance of future plans to transit exclusively to defense.
