The 20+ most underappreciated/unrecognized power centers (literally) for the prosecution of Russia's war on Ukraine.
These are the workhorses of 🇷🇺🚊logistics & enable the delivery of more death to Ukraine than airbases in Engels or Kursh.
We'll never see 🛰️ images posted. 😤

/2 Each Traction Station has at least two (2) high voltage step down transformers about the size of a Russian tank or MLRS, which go figure can't move or be hidden.
The giant tank full of oil mounted above them guarantees a destructive fire, more certain than oil/fuel tanks.

/3 TBH I deprioritized the southern Luhansk route, given the route via Luhansk (city) is not electric rail & crossings of the Siever Donetsk River are compromised.
However, everything, incl heavy Dragon's Teeth & shells enter via Likhovskoy - Ivanivka route.
These will be added

/4 On the Rostov - Taganrog - Donetsk route, AFU recently #HIMARSTime'd the traction station at Ilovaisk.
Good chances Mandrikine & Krynychna traction stations were torched prior, but I have no confirmation of any🇺🇦🚀💥
IMHO this was a good sign AFU now appreciates their value.

/5 On the southern axis, the rail connection from Kerch is not electrified, however Sebastopol to Melitopol/Novo Bohdanivka is.
We know Orcs use rail heavily to steal🇺🇦grains & Ag equip
There's little indication RuAF is using limited diesel electrics from Dzhankoi to Melitopol.

/6 In the northeast, the value of the Belgorad link is of historical note.
Arguably Valuyki is a "has been" also.
I repeatedly see the non-electrified Valuyki - Starobilsk line pushed as some "darkhorse" 🇷🇺 logistics superweapon bc somebody looked at rail maps.
IMHO it is not.

7/ Then there is the Liski - Rossosh - Millerovo realignment completed in 2016 as a major priority from Putin & The Kremlin to get around previous transits of Ukrainian territory near Chertkovo.
Frankly, I'm tired of beating the AFU Must Absolutely Disable These Assets Drum.

8/ Finally, there's none of my skin in this game. I'm safe in America and this war has no impact on me whatsoever, while I could give 2 f*cks about military warporn.
It's not for me to decide what is💥but it is clear assets I OSINT/identify enable untold misery upon Ukrainians.

9/ These traction stations & electric transformers in 🇷🇺 I beat the drum endlessly, need to be addressed, taken seriously & prioritized above all others in Russia.
