Spectacular video footage has shown the moment a railway on the outskirts of the Russian capital in rocked by a huge explosion, destroying freight train cars used by the Russians for logistics, according to Ukrainian Security Officials.
The blast happened in the settlement of Voskresensk, Moscow Region, in the early hours of December 27 according to the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine (GUR), which also shared the footage.
A GUR statement explained: “The aggressor state was using them to provide logistics for the Russian occupation army.
“The scale of the damage inflicted on the aggressor is being established.”
It continued: “Judging by the fervour of Russian propaganda, which, in an attempt to hide the consequences of the rumble, is lying about the alleged absence of a fire at the Voskresensk railway depot, the Kremlin leaders’ fear of internal resistance to the Putin regime and loss of control within the country is seriously increasing.”
Since the start of Vladimir Putin’s invasion, Ukraine has launched a series of targeted efforts to degrade Russia’s war machine, focusing on critical infrastructure such as railways.
The rail network is a vital component of Russia’s logistics, facilitating the movement of troops, equipment, and supplies across vast distances.
Ukrainian forces have employed precision strikes using drones and missiles to disrupt these supply lines, causing significant logistical challenges for the Russian military.
By targeting rail depots, bridges, and key junctions, Ukraine has aimed to slow the advance of Russian forces and hinder their operational capabilities.
Such attacks on rail infrastructure are part of a broader strategy to weaken Russia’s ability to sustain its offensive.
The destruction of supply routes has forced Moscow to rely on more vulnerable and less efficient means of transportation, increasing the strain on its military resources.
Additionally, the disruption of logistical networks has had a ripple effect, delaying reinforcements and limiting the resupply of frontline units.
Methodical degradation of Russia’s war machine highlights Ukraine’s resolve and ingenuity in leveraging asymmetrical tactics to counter a numerically superior adversary.
