Ukrainian troops have destroyed a Russian locomotive for the first time since the beginning of the full-scale war, according to a report from the 152nd Separate Rifle Brigade on April 19.

Aerial footage published by the brigade shows a drone strike targeting a locomotive on a railway line in temporarily occupied territory. The locomotive was reportedly used to transport military equipment and supplies to Russian forces.

According to the Ukrainian military, the targeted locomotive played a key role in Russia’s logistical operations, moving weapons, ammunition, and other supplies across occupied areas of Ukraine.

Earlier on April 15, Ukrainian forces operating in the south used bomber drones to destroy two Borisoglebsk-2 electronic warfare systems—one of Russia’s most advanced and costly jamming platforms.

According to Ukraine’s Operational Command South, the $400 million strike was carried out in two stages, with initial hits followed by precision control drops. The Borisoglebsk-2 is designed to disrupt satellite and radio communications and plays a critical role in Russia’s electronic warfare operations.
