I wonder what the experts here think of this morning's NYT article on Russian fortifications.  The article seemed to me to be fairly balanced, pointing out the purpose and the potential weaknesses of this strategy.  The speed with which fortified lines can be constructed caught me by surprise--using modern equipment they laid down hundreds of miles of trenches, dragon's teeth, etc. in a couple of weeks.
