Trains, bridges, storage facilities on Ukraine: why did the Russian army finally start hitting them?

In recent days, there has been a noticeable increase in the number of attacks by Russian forces on transport networks and warehouses in Ukraine. This is due to the expansion of opportunities for the production of weapons in Russia, explains political analyst Rostislav Ishchenko. His opinion publishes Pravda.Ru .

Previously, when the stocks of projectiles were limited, priority was given to the destruction of energy facilities, since they affect many systems. As a result, the Ukrainian side switched to the use of diesel transport for railways, which increased the consumption of fuel, which is also necessary for combat operations.

However, now the situation has changed: the volume of ammunition production has increased, which makes it possible to strike not only power plants, but also railways, bridges and, most importantly, storage facilities. Ishchenko emphasizes that it is more efficient to destroy accumulated cargo in warehouses than individual trains or sections of tracks that are quickly restored.

The expert cites historical examples: even during the Second World War, neither underground actions nor aerial bombardments were able to completely disable the enemy's transport system. Nevertheless, such operations are useful because they force the opponent to spend energy on repairs and divert resources from the front line.

In conclusion, Ishchenko notes that the choice of targets is determined by the military command on the basis of available means and their significance.

As soon as it becomes possible to cover all the key points at the same time, this will be implemented. So far, the focus is on energy, but the excess of shells already allows us to expand the front of strikes, including even the protected shelters of the Ukrainian leadership, such as the bunkers of President Zelensky.
