Defense forces hit a diesel locomotive that was carrying fuel and traveling from Donbas to Crimea.
A unit of “Ronin” drones from the 56th separate mechanized brigade hit a Russian locomotive with a fuel echelon near Tokmak. The strike testifies not only to the capabilities of Ukrainian drones, but also to problems in the enemy’s logistics, Defense Express reports .
As noted, the ” Eye of Horus” community analyzed the geolocation where the echelon was hit and found out that the strike took place almost 30 kilometers deep from the battle line. However, analysts claim that the unusualness of this situation is not the record-breaking flight range of the drone, but the fact that the Russians are using a railway line 25 km away from the hostilities.
“At this point, it is worth analyzing the very nature of the target that was hit, and here is what we will see. The footage showed a two-section diesel locomotive of the 2TE116 type, which has a body length of 36 meters and a total weight of as much as 276 tons. These overall characteristics make the affected diesel locomotive was not only the most unusual, but also the biggest target that our FPV drone aimed at,” the article says.
However, it is currently unknown to what consequences the Ukrainian drones hit the Russian diesel locomotive. Experts assumed that with the same probability, the damage could either have no consequences or lead to a malfunction of the locomotive, which would complicate the further movement of the echelon with fuel.

In addition, the material reached two conclusions:
- 1. The capabilities of the Defense Forces have increased to the extent that allows hitting moving targets at a distance of 20-30 kilometers from the front line.
- 2. The occupying army actively exploits the “railway corridor” from Donbas to Crimea to ensure its logistics. This automatically puts this highway on the list of priority targets.
