There have been a lot of comparisons between the fighting in Bakhmut and the trench warfare of World War 1 recently, hence I thought I would ask an officer and World War 1 historian about his opinion on this matter. In this video Lieutenant Colonel Dr. Tom Simoens from the Royal Military Academy in Brussels will provide us with his insights. Be aware that the views expressed in this interview don’t represent the views of the Belgian Armed Forces.
If you are interested in his work, be sure to check out his article about Combined Arms in the Defence Horizon Journal, which is linked in the description.
