πŸ”₯ Enemy logistics are burning: the "Freedom of Russia" resistance movement burned dozens of locomotives on the territory of the aggressor state

The resistance movement to the Kremlin regime "Freedom of Russia" conducted a series of successful operations against the enemy's logistical infrastructure.

"Freedom of Russia" rebels have been active since the beginning of the full-scale war and are currently one of the largest and most effective resistance movements on the territory of the Russian Federation.

πŸš‚The targets of the strikes were locomotives, which the Muscovites use to supply weapons, ammunition, and equipment during combat operations against Ukraine.

The partisans' incendiary cocktails incinerated the control and power supply systems of dozens of machines that were ensuring the transport of military cargo.

✊ The strikes significantly slowed the movement of enemy resources and affected the stability of supplies for Russian army units at the front.

Resistance to the criminal war against Ukraine is strengthening inside the aggressor state!

How repairable is this? The cab of locomotives (looks like that is all they got) can be very simple. Put a cushion on the seat and put some electric tape around some wires and it will be working in a day. Maybe you lose in-cab signaling, but we did without that for decades.

If anyone can get access to these people, better to pour some "water glass" into the engine oil - it will run for a short time, while destroying the engine bearings and cylinders - it will be a major rebuild to get that engine running again (probably cheaper and faster to scrap it)

IIRC Russia only has around 6000 locomotives and most are in use so if this is hard to repair this is significant, but it feels like a feel good piece that makes no difference.

They should definitely do that! How easy is it to put it into a train do you think?

I don't know russian locomotives but I'd guess finding the oil fill on the first would take an hour but after that it is 10 minutes or less.

They are likely to have received instructions from Ukrainian railways. They will know precisely which part of each locomotive type must be hit in what manner.
