The russian military-industrial complex has increased the production of long-range drones and can now strike not only at strategic targets, but also at individual locomotives. Dozens of substations and railway junctions were hit, in particular Lozova, Synelnykove and Koziatyn. This was reported by the chairman of the board of Ukrzaliznytsia Oleksandr Pertsovskyi in an interview with Reuters.
It is reported that the attacks, which affected dozens of substations, are associated with a sharp increase in the number of long-range drones produced by the russian military-industrial complex.
"Previously, they simply did not have enough resources for one combat drone to track down a locomotive. Now they can afford to use drones to hit individual locomotives, not strategic targets," he noted.
It is also noted that since mid-summer, russia has begun using new tactics to strike key nodes of the Ukrainian railway. Almost every day, the Russian Federation attacks electrical substations and other railway infrastructure with an average of six to seven Shaheds.
According to Pertsovskyi, these are complex attacks, when power substations, locomotive depots, and passenger stations are hit.
"The enemy strikes in such a way that, in fact, the node is destroyed," Pertsovskyi added.
We will remind you that the day before, suburban trains resumed in the Kirovohrad Region after russian shelling, and residents of the region will again have access to some routes.
On the night of September 17, the russian federation struck the railway infrastructure.
