Southern Defense Forces struck a locomotive hauling Russian equipment, destroying 13 tanks and over 100 armored and automotive vehicles. Z-bloggers claim FPV drones were hidden in a grain car.

This is amazing.

The Kremlin has always been paranoid. And now, Ukraine is giving them something to be paranoid about. Every transport is a risk. Every storage container. Every warehouse. I doubt the Kremlin has enough loyalty to have people screen everything that can potentially have explosive drones.

What's better? I would be willing to bet that the transporting and storage of the drones is entirely unknown by the drivers and workers. I'll bet someone was paid to get "sanctioned supplies" into Russia. Hell, they could actually be sending them with sanctioned stuff.

This could be a devastating psychological warfare strategy that may just work against the world's biggest psychological threat.

isn't using civilian infrastructure to hide military stuff like a warcrime or illegal
- apparently:
  Loss of Protected Status:
  Civilian transport loses its legal protection if used for military purposes (e.g., transporting weapons or combatants).
  Once identified as a military objective, it becomes a lawful target for attack, endangering civilians nearby.
  Perfidy (Treachery):
  Prohibited under Article 37 of Additional Protocol I to the Geneva Conventions.
  Using civilian symbols (e.g., Red Cross/Red Crescent emblems, UN markings) to disguise military operations constitutes perfidy.
  Example: Hiding missiles in an ambulance marked with a red cross to deceive the enemy.
  War Crimes under the Rome Statute:
  Intentionally using protected civilian objects to shield military operations qualifies as a war crime (Article 8(2)(b)(xxiii)).
- The concept of a war crime has not existed for at least 50 years now.

These drones are beginning to be like bed bugs, the Russians are going to wonder if they're hiding in everything, that's hilarious.

Keep it up Ukraine

- They should hide them in toilets and washing machines near the front line, eventually they'll end up back in Russia.

I like to think Ukraine has months worth of attacks like this that catch Russia completely with their pants down.

The Russians entire ideology centres around dick swinging, so it's no surprise their pants are down and will continue to be down because it's all they know.

The comic made me actually laugh. Well done.

I love that meme with the hat. Was also published with a truck after this weeks grandios achievements against the orc bombers.
- Why is the train wearing a hat?

"Destroying 13 tanks" or they just fell from platforms? Because falling from the RW platform isn't enough to destroy a tank.

Baaed off the translation post, I would say they blew the engine and brought the train to a stop then they came in and destroyed all the equipment.
"The first blow was delivered to the locomotive, after which the train began to lose speed and was stopped. The enemy destroyed most of the equipment without hindrance."
