…builds fortifications and…
Fortifications:
structures designed and built for the concealment and the most effective use of weaponry, warfare, and control posts; they are also used to protect troops and objectives from destruction by the enemy;
Something that makes a defensive position stronger, like high mounds of earth to protect cannon or spiky breastworks to slow an enemy charge. Fortifications may be man-made structures or a part of the natural terrain. Man-made fortifications could be temporary (wood and soil) or permanent (mortar or stone) depending on the situations. Natural fortifications could include waterways, forests, hills and mountains, swamps and marshes.

But pay attention to the phrase "...и методически обстреливает пулеметным и минометным огнем". It implies that enemy is still keeping his resistance to the surroundings. So the mentioned structure has both protection & resistance characteristics! You see?

Comment: "Good answer vibe, mark and pham.
I actually used shelters, as in the original it was a general term used in documents that have a lot of fortification vocabulary."

builds/constructs/puts up covers
If referring to a place to take cover from enemy fire, that's what it would be.

: I don't think "built/construct/put up" are the right verbs for something you dig out.../"Убежища" are meant to be as close to the ground as possible, ideally UNDER the ground... I'm so jealous of those who haven't seen one... Honestly...

The source doesn't say anything about digging; if it did, I would have offered 'dugout' or 'trench' myself.
