🧿 So, apparently the salt mines in Soledar have the potential to become another Azovstal.

🚁 Yesterday, after interviewing and editing and uploading, I went for a flight in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, naturally I went to scope out the area around the current front line. Flew via Artemovsk (called that even in MSFS, uses Bing Maps) on to Soledar, and then to Siversk and landed at Lisichansk.

Some interesting trench networks can be seen, marked on maps in the upcoming posts.

🧿 Flying over Soledar - Flight path map overlay thanks to DPA screenshot of today's update.

It is crazy how this stuff is recreated in the game simulator.

🧿 Huge complex of trenches on the approach to Siversk, had to get a bearing at the city and then I went back to get a closer view. 🚁

You can see the Google map screenshots showing the trenches too - explains why some of this is taking so long.
