been searching around the net... it seems there are prcious few
methods of crossing barbed wire...
is saf still using the "soldier lie down on barbed wire" method
?
lets just say we cant comment on operational doctrine.
but do think of it this way.
a barbed wire / wire obstacle there means that the enemy is
trying to block that route of access from you. it is designed to
make you reroute your way around and take longer time/different way
to attack you.
you could either
1) breach the wire obstacle
2) go around the obstacle
either way, both will take time. so its a no-gain situation for
the attacker. irregardless of operational doctrine, obstacles still
take up time. and no two obstacles are the same, so while doctrine
may say breaching, actual ground observation may call for something
else.
really depends on context.
there are plenty of ways to cross barbed wire, its just not many
of them are avaliable on the web too.
