Paging Minister of War André Maginot

So, Poland has released plans for an intricate and expensive set of barriers between them ane Russia.

This sounds awfully familiar, but I just can't put my finger on it:

A NATO country unveiled a new plan for its border intended to defend against attacks coming from Russia.

Poland's defense ministry on Monday touted its "east shield," an operation to strengthen its eastern border with Russia and Belarus.

It said the effort would be the largest defensive effort on NATO's eastern flank since World War II ended in 1945.

A diagram released as part of a policy document showed one segment of the planned "border zone."

It featured at least eight distinct types of defense:

  • A permanent fence
  • Barbed wire
  • An anti-tank ditch
  • A field of anti-tank obstacles (known as hedgehogs)
  • Mines
  • Another ditch
  • A layer of vegetation

Officials also stated plans for increasing warning and tracking systems and anti-drone systems as well as preparing forward operating bases.

 For some odd reason, I am feeling nostalgic.
