Going underground in the Ukraine conflict is still as vital tactically as in the First World War
Many people are surprised to see the images from the war in Ukraine of soldiers on both sides living and fighting in trenches. We think of trench warfare as uniquely associated with the horrors of Flanders and Gallipoli in the First World War. Surely modern war is all about cyberattacks and missiles?
But a hole in the ground is as fundamentally important to success or failure in war today as it has been for hundreds of years.
