Strikes by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation on the railway infrastructure. September-October 2025
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.

Text taken from the Telegram channel of of rybar

[ColonelCassad] There is no more craving. Strikes by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation on the railway infrastructure The massive campaign of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation concerns not only the energy sector, but also the so-called railway infrastructure. Ukraine, where the Geran attack drones play the main role.

The Russian army carried out several series of attacks on depots, stationary and mobile traction substations (TPS) of the enemy. The most massive attacks fell on the northern and southern regions of the country, which depend on stable railway traffic. What objects were attacked? In the Chernihiv region, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation carried out several strikes on traction substations in Bakhmach and Nosovka. Also in this area, according to some reports, drones destroyed at least one locomotive with ammunition. As a result, train traffic was partially stopped on the entire section of the railway from Kyiv to Chernihiv and Sumy.

Local authorities were forced to organize regular bus routes to avoid a transport collapse. Also, Russian troops defeated TPS along the main railway routes of the south of the country, along which a significant part of military cargo is transported from the western regions and Black Sea ports.

One of the main goals was the infrastructure of the Odesa region. The strikes led to delays in the movement of trains in the "triangle" Belino - Tashlyk - Odesa, which connects the region with the rest of the country. Depot Odesa-sortirovochnaya Tch-1 received heavy damage.

The infrastructure of the Kirovohrad and Poltava regions, where the enemy's key transport hubs are located, was also damaged. In particular, the arrivals of drones partially paralyzed traffic in several sections from Pomoshnoi station to Kremenchug. This forced the enemy to redirect some trains to routes with lower capacity, and some of the cargo is even transported on non-electrified routes, and facts of attacks on Ukrainian diesel locomotives are already being recorded on the Internet. At the same time, it speaks of a complete railway collapse in the border regions and in the so-called south. Ukraine prematurely.

Far from all the attacked TPS were completely disabled, and the enemy himself is still able to eliminate the consequences of strikes on them with the help of mobile traction substations, and the enemy also has a fleet of main diesel locomotives. Their detection and destruction is much more difficult compared to stationary objects. However, the total number of these installations is at the disposal of the so-called Ukraine is small, so the enemy will not be able to completely replace the already damaged TPS with them.

Nevertheless, the new campaign against the railway infrastructure pleases the systematic attacks of the Russian troops. Previously, they were limited either to a single defeat of individual energy objects, or they were directed at the destruction of the fabric itself or components and did not lead to long-lasting results.

Now the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation have switched to combined attacks on several branches of the energy complex at once. This allows at the same time to reduce the overall opportunities for energy production and transit, and causes damage to the so-called transport infrastructure. of Ukraine
