Operators of Ukraine’s Raid Regiment have struck two russian locomotives in Crimea, targeting a railway route used to support Moscow’s military logistics on the peninsula
russian military logistics in temporarily occupied Crimea have suffered another setback after Ukrainian drone operators reportedly struck two locomotives operating on a key railway line linking the peninsula’s eastern and northern regions. The attack was carried out by operators of the Raid Regiment, part of Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces.
Footage released by the Raid 413th Regiment shows a drone navigating through high-voltage power lines before reaching and striking a locomotive. The video highlights the growing precision of Ukrainian drone operators, who are increasingly targeting transport infrastructure supporting russian military operations.

According to the unit, the locomotives were involved in servicing russia’s military logistics network in Crimea. In a statement accompanying the footage, the regiment used irony to describe the strike, saying its operators were merely “checking the documents” of russian railway workers and found no authorization allowing them to operate such transport on Ukrainian territory.
The attacks reportedly took place in the eastern part of Crimea, near the settlements of Rozdolne and Vladyslavovka. Both locations are situated along a strategically important railway corridor that connects Dzhankoi with Kerch and ultimately leads to the Crimean Bridge.
This rail route plays a critical role in sustaining russian forces stationed on the peninsula. It is used to transport military equipment, ammunition, fuel, and other supplies required to support russian operations in the south of Ukraine and Crimea.
Locomotives are the weak link in their transportation system. They a expensive and time consuming to replace. Their loss holds up vast amounts of supplies. and affects the entire economy. Using trucks instead is not efficient and increases gas consumption. Now start targeting the maintenance shops production factories and do double taps on the repair crews.
I agree, especially double-tapping those pricks.
