No maginot line was not ditch cum bund (DCB) line,
The Maginot Line (French: Ligne Maginot, IPA: [liɲ maʒino]), named after the French Minister of War André Maginot, was a line of concrete fortifications, obstacles, and weapons installations that France constructed along its borders with Germany during the 1930s. The line was a response to France's experience in World War I and was constructed during the run-up to World War II. A similar line of defenses, called the Alpine Line, faced Italy.
The French established the fortification to provide time for their army to mobilize in the event of attack, allowing French forces to move into Belgium for a decisive confrontation with Germany. The success of static, defensive combat in World War I was a key influence on French thinking. Military experts extolled the Maginot Line as a work of genius, believing it would prevent any further invasions from the east.
While the fortification system did prevent a direct attack, it was strategically ineffective, as the Germans invaded through Belgium, outflanking the Maginot Line. The German army ran through the Ardennes forest and the Low Countries, completely sweeping by the line, defeating the French army and conquering France in about six weeks.[1] As such, reference to the Maginot Line is used to recall a strategy or object that people hope will prove effective but instead fails miserably. It is also the best known symbol of the adage that "generals always fight the last war, especially if they have won it".[2]
The Maginot Line was impervious to most forms of attack, and had state-of-the-art living conditions for garrisoned troops, air conditioning,[3] comfortable eating areas and underground railways. However, it proved costly to maintain and subsequently led to other parts of the French Armed Forces being underfunded.
We' guys' have plans not only to cross the Icchogil canal but any canal that comes our way during an attack .
DCB is not required in NE as there are hardly any areas where tanks can operate because of the terrain, DCB is required in an armoured battle to hold the enemy so that he does not have a clean run up to our vulnerable areas / vulnerable points. Battle in NE will mainly be Infantry predominant, a DCB cannot hold an advancing Infantry as it will get through any how !
Hope this explains your query.
) is to have fortified outpost consist of its own fire support mortars, Mini UAVs and multiple bunkers with RCWS surrounding one underground bunker with a bullet proof tower Couple of such installations along borders with gap of 5-8kms, In this way they can cover each other in crises ..
