Ukraine executes what may become one of the most studied battlefield traps of the war — and Russian forces walk straight into it. Near Pokrovsk, Ukrainian defenders carefully shape the battlefield, allowing Russian assault units to advance just far enough before closing the jaws. What follows is a devastating collapse of coordination, armor, and manpower as layered defenses, precision strikes, and kill-zone tactics turn the advance into a disaster. This video breaks down how Ukraine lured Russian troops forward, why Russian commanders misread the situation, and how modern reconnaissance, drones, and artillery combined with classic battlefield deception. From trenches designed to funnel movement, to hidden fire positions and perfectly timed counter-attacks, Pokrovsk becomes a textbook example of how smaller, smarter forces can dominate larger assault waves. We explore how Russian units charged forward believing Ukrainian lines were weakening — only to discover they were walking into overlapping fields of fire with no escape routes. Communication breaks down, armored support fails to arrive, and panic spreads through the ranks. Pokrovsk shows that this war is no longer about brute force alone — it is about intelligence, preparation, and turning enemy aggression into self-destruction. The trap was set. The signal was given. And once the Russians crossed the line, there was no way back.
