I'll bet the engineer was surprised.

"lost episode of Thomas the tank engine" 😂

Back in WW2 train locomotives were often a higher priority target than tanks. Ground attack aircraft were even sent on dedicated missions to fly along train tracks until they found a locomotive they could destroy. Weapons win battles but logistics wins wars, so it makes perfect sense.

Strictly speaking this is not a train, but only a locomotive.

In the future they will teach Ukraine drone warfare tactics in military college in Western countries. Ukraine has basically reinvented drone warfare.

All the POW's are clearly visible

Diesel locomotives are tougher then tank, everyone who played GTA 5 know that well

[chipChipperson]

The generators in that engine are now toast

An interesting development. As always, you're my first source of news - thank you!

[geoffstevens]

Trains, bridges, power plants, pipelines and pumping stations, airports, water treatment facilities etc all support Russia's military and are, therefore legitimate targets anywhere if the country. 'Weapons free', Ukraine.

I was wondering when they would start going after train engines. Russia being very dependent on railroads. The rail lines and stations themselves are easy and cheap to repair, but not the engines. Take out the engines and they have to replace them by pulling them from other areas. It will slow down the supplies to the military and will eventually impact the civilian transportation side as well, giving the general population one more thing to complain about. Also, take out a few more and I bet the train engineers will be calling in sick a lot more frequently than they do now.

А потом удивляются: "А нас за шо?"

One for the algorithm.

Nice to see the rusty logistics being stopped in its tracks. _Pun intended!_

Thanks for the vid and an unusual one too.

Saying Russia can defeat NATO is like saying Putin doesn't need a booster seat when driving his luxury Lada - next gen cupholders sold separately

I never thought I'd see the day a regular unarmored train would survive more kamikazi drone strikes then a modern tank would.

[vsvnrg]

the soft spots of locomotives are inside the driver's cab and the fuel tank. the fuel tank is slung below the chassis between the 3 sets of wheels. it might have up to 10, 000 litres, depending on the model of locomotive. a direct hit on the fuel tank really will destroy all parts of the locomotive. i dont think the drone operators were well advised on the best place to hit locomotives.

Ахахах! Сломали маневровый локомотив, который работает в пределах станции и обсуждают, что логистика России нарушена.

[pizzafrenzyman]

very interesting. between airfields, trains, and oil infrastructure, Russia is a target rich environment.

[АндрейТитов-щх]

Это террористы с Украины, это мирный маневровый тепловоз,

[КириллАфанасьев-рч]

И так, как вас обманывают. Это не Курск, не Курский вокзал. Можете вид вокзала в Курске загуглить. Это может быть приграничный городок, типа Шебекино, Теткино. Но вы продолжайте верить вашим новостям)))
