🔥 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.

🚂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 control systems are essentially computers. Specialized computers, to be precise. They can be repaired, as long as you have the chips it takes, but of course those chips are then away from being used in drones or missiles.

The "power supply systems" probably means the transformers? Almost all of the Russia's diesel locomotives are diesel-electric, meaning that they are technically electric locomotives that come with their own power plants for producing the electricity the locomotive needs. A transformer is typically filled with transformer oil. Which is stuff that burns very merrily!

Did they get the transformers though? Some diesel engines there is just wires between the cab and the transformer and no computers. You select which winding to use with a simple switch. These days I'd expect in-cab computers, but you can run without if you don't care about safety (which we already know Russia doesn't)

No idea.

They say they got control and power supply systems. I'd assume that must have meant the transformers. Of course newer locomotives do rely heavily on computers even in the Russia.
