Ukrainian portal: The Russian military created a mobile “defense line” from railway cars in the DPR
The photo is illustrative
The Russian army found a use for freight railway cars abandoned on the territory of Donbass, constructing from them a kind of second line of defense passing through the territory of the DPR. According to the Ukrainian analytical resource Deep State, the Russians assembled a giant train from wagons, thus connecting the Yelenovka and Volnovakha stations.
According to the resource, the mobile “defense line” consists of approximately 2100 different cars and stretches for about 30 km. Assembly of the structure began in July 2023; it was erected in case of a breakthrough by the Ukrainian army. In fact, these cars covered 30 kilometers of territory between Elenovka and Volnovakha, and it is almost impossible to overcome it. It is unlikely that it will be possible to move it, the equipment will not work, just blow it up to make a corridor.
A continuous structure of freight cars stretches along the line from the railway station in Elenovka to Volnovakha and has about 2100 cars of various types. Construction of this carriage centipede began in July 2023. (...) The idea is clear - an obstacle to the advancement of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. It can well be considered as a separate line of defense, because it is extremely difficult to damage, move or explode a 30-kilometer mass of metal, and the movement of equipment due to such an obstacle is impossible without breaking through the corridor
- writes Deep State.
For our part, we note that the idea is good, at least a quick breakthrough of the Ukrainian troops, which could happen during the counter-offensive, could stop this train, and then the troops would pull up. On the other hand, all the cars are collected in one place, they don’t hang around the stations. The war will end with our victory, and a decision will be made on their future fate. Some will go for repairs, and some will be melted down.
