If Russias entire doctrine is based around fighting a defensive war inside Russia, why don't they build a wall along their border?
Because then they have to staff that wall
This ain't the middle ages. Walls aren't great for defense anymore.
cuz conscripts are cheaper

Because it's cheaper to throw endless waves of disposable slavs at the enemy, than it is to build and maintain a "wall" around the largest country on the planet.
Putting a wall on halfway world must be a bit expensive.

dumbest question ever asked on /k/

Have you any idea just how massive (and fluid) the Russian border is? The entire place is just one big plain, and Russian military goals for the last couple centuries have them pushing their border to more dependable geographic chokepoints.
>>32818077
>fortifications
>>32818077
In Russia we make wall of peasant and ice in time of war. Is how things have always been done and is of working well. Wall of man is strong and protects better than wall of steel as James Earl Jones explained in classic Schwarzenegger movie.
Is of useful on every scale.

In Russia, you protect armor.
Truly we were fated enemies.
>>32818077
Because Russia is the largest country in the world. The Trump wall should cost 40 billions for 3100 km of length. The Russian borders are 20241 km long. I don't think that Russia wants to spend 250 billions on a useless wall.

I don't mean to completely blow your mind here, but Stalin's USSR didn't exactly place a lot of value on the lives of it's citizens.

I don't mean to completely blow your mind here, but Stalin was not present in every trench. what his retarded policies were had nothing to do with the people at the fronts.

2% of soviet casualties were summary executions and other executions for cowardice. Their rules (specifically, Order 227 or "Ni Shagu Nazad," as it were) kept the army moving forward, and was one of the biggest factors in their victory.
Stop trying to sound smart.

Because what is Russia is not just what Russia considers rightful Russian territory.

And one soldier got the rifle and the other got the bullets right anon? And when the first died the second picked the rifle up, right anon?

The Russians and, ancient times, nomadic horse cultures used the vastness of their territories to stretch any invader's supply lines to tire and frustrate them. See modern examples in Napoleon's army and the Wehrmacht.
If you can afford to lose some ground why build a wall?

Because what's the purpose of the wall if you want to lure the enemy inside of your territory? It will only slow down your counter attack.

Walls don't work bro, especially in modern warfare. It's part of the reason we don't have walled cities anymore. People will always find a way around the wall or maybe through it.
>>32818077
They did, but took it down when it did piss all but eat money for maintenence.
>>32818077
Because the winter will kill you before a wall will stop you, the wall is their land.
>>32818077
They're trying to, their whole geopolitical doctrine revolves around creating a buffer zone against the west. A physical wall will do nothing against missiles and tank formations, their wall is a gap of hundreds of kilometers that ground troops have to cross before they can make it into the motherland.
Because they have an absurd amount of depth in which to exhaust and envelop attacks.
>>32824703
You pulled that number out of your ass.
>>32818077
It's about defence war OUTSIDE Russia. If you think that Russia will never make pre-emptive strike, you're wrong. This is a country with "never again" complex of June 22. And all shit that happened in 90th did not help to cure it.
>>32818077
because they prefer to keep their borders "politically flexible"
