Which is why I wrote:
Best way to overcome it now is to place troops in the back of the fortified russian lines, like Germany did with the Maginot line.
Drop paratroops and attack them from the rear. AFAIK night vision equipment is scarce on the russian side.
Another idea would be an artillery barrage starting close behind the enemy positions and then roll it back; but of course Ukraine does not have the ammo for this.
Still, scattering mines without knowing the positions the ukrainian battlezones will look like Laos when this war is over.

edit spoke with some german officers and as has been posted before somewhere here they criticize the ukrainian tactics, lacking combined operations despite them having trained exactly that.
Don't know what is going on, maybe it takes more time to let it sink in(?)
