Ukraine is finally starting to target high priority targets holy shit!!!!
Someone wake up @BruckenRuski

If you haven't followed him he has made many maps in great detail highlighting this infrastructure.
Last night, Ukraine conducted long-range OWA-UAV strikes on Russian Railroad Infrastructure and Electric Transformer Substations.
It has been several months since Ukraine has done any strikes on a Traction Power Station
At around 2300 local time Ukrainian OWA-UAV's struck Traction power stations in
-Ponyri
-Svoboda
At around 2320 local time Ukrainian OWA-UAV's struck Traction power stations in
-Zmievka
-Glazunovka
Several transformer substations were also attacked on the same stretch. As a result, an emergency power outage occurred at the Zmievka and Glazunovka stations.
This is one of the main primary rail routes bringing ammunition and supplies down to Stary Oskol which then makes its way down to Stanytsia Luhanska.
This is also one of the primary rail route bringing ammunition and supplies to Belgorod.

These strikes are likely the beginning of a campaign by the AFU/GUR/SBU to degrade the Russian military of supplies and destroy critical infrastructure that will negatively impact Russia's ability to support a large-scale offensive in Kharkiv and Luhansk regions of Ukraine.
Icons in Orange are what was struck last night.
Icons in red are railroad bridges
The black lines are Russian Rail and occupied Ukrainian rail
The green lines are occupied Ukrainian rail being utilized currently by the Russian military.

Reminder 86% of Russian freight rail is moved along electrified rail. No electricity, no train movement, which means no supplies going to the front.
About time Ukraine starts attacking Russian Rail and going after the ZHV.

Like the Ottoman Empire Russia is critically over-reliant on railroads.
Ottoman Hejaz Railway was attacked and degraded by Lawrence of Arabia hopefully Ukraine takes his raids as a lesson and starts something similar.
Cool fact over 100 years later Ottoman trains ambushed by Lawrence of Arabia still sit where they were blown up.

Some figures on Russian Rail
In 2020 Russia had
7,660 Electric Freight locomotives
3,193 Diesel Freight locomotives.
87% of the 2,653 billion tonne kilometres (tk) of freight carried by Russian Railways, is carried by electric traction.
In other words, if Ukraine really ramps up attacks on Russian traction stations, transformer substations Russia is critically fucked economically and militarily. If supplies from basic commodities to war goods can't move properly across the country, you're looking at collapse.

This would fuck Russia far more than any attack on distillation towers ever could achieve.
Next steps start throwing every OWA UAV at these traction stations and transformer substations and start pulling some Lawrence of Arabia shenanigans and start blowing up Russian Railroad Bridges
Also, throw some long-range missiles into Russian Rail yards in occupied Ukraine and Russia and destroy Russian rail maintenance equipment
We should see videos like this coming out of Ukraine every single day. This is a beautiful video from December 2022 when a Ukrainian drone dropped two RPG warheads on a Russian transformer substation destroying it.

Sun Tzu “The line between disorder and order lies in logistics"
If you got 16 hours to listen to the surface transportation board curing last year about rail issues within the United States. It's a really good and informative video. Apply everything in that committee, hearing to Russia and magnify it by an order of magnitude if their rail was disrupted and degraded.

If you want some good news on Ukrainian rail, I did a short thread this morning
