In the context of the conflict in Ukraine, Russian troops have begun to use empty gas pipelines as transport routes for soldiers and supplies, a tactic referred to as 'pipeline troops'. This method was recently observed near the city of Kupiansk, where soldiers penetrated through a pipeline under the Oskil River. This strategy, which transforms decommissioned Soviet infrastructure into tunnels, is becoming essential on the front, considering the devastating effects of drones and GPS jamming. Ukrainian troops are trying to block these pipelines through various methods, including flooding or blocking with barbed wire.
