Ukraine<\/a> carried out another audacious drone attack behind Russian<\/a> lines, destroying a military supply train carrying heavy armour to the frontlines. Furious pro-Kremlin bloggers have dubbed the recent setback as Operation Spiderweb 2.0, following Ukraine’s<\/a> attack on Russian<\/a> airbases last week.<\/p>\n

Reports suggest Ukraine’s<\/a> army had managed to conceal drones in a grain carriage attached to the train. At a given moment, the hatches on the grain containers flew open and the drones swarmed out. They took out the locomotive which cane to a halt, before attacking the rest of the carriages.<\/p>\n

Ukraine<\/a>“s Southern Forces Command says the attack caused substantial damage and equipment loss.<\/p>\n

According to their report, the drones managed to destroy 13 tanks, seven artillery systems and 103 armoured vehicles.<\/p>\n

At the same time, the drones set on fire carriages carrying an estimated 158,000\u2013172,000 gallons of fuel.<\/p>\n

The attack provoked a furious response from Russia<\/a>‘s nationalist community on line.<\/p>\n

One fumed: “What genius came up with the idea of combining a train of equipment with grain trucks is a mystery.<\/p>\n

“How the SBU (Ukraine<\/a>‘s Security Service) managed to hide drones there is also unknown, but the result was this.<\/p>\n

“The first blow was delivered to the locomotive, after which the train began to lose speed and was stopped.<\/p>\n

“The enemy destroyed most of the equipment without hindrances. Operation Spiderweb 2.0”<\/p>\n

Last Sunday, Kyiv scored a major success after launching daring attacks on airbases deep inside Russia<\/a>, destroying a number of strategic bombers capable of carrying nuclear weapons.<\/p>\n

It comes as Russia<\/a> claims its forces are advancing to the edge of the east-central Ukrainian region of Dnipropetrovsk for the first time in the three-year war.<\/p>\n

A Ukrainian military spokesperson, Dmytro Zaporozhets, said that Russian forces were trying to \u201cbuild a bridgehead for an attack\u201d on Kostyantynivka, an important logistical hub for Kyiv’s army.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ukraine carried out another audacious drone attack behind Russian lines, destroying a military supply train carrying heavy armour…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":170214,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[29124,2595,660,12,70310,2046,332,70955,657,26,21151],"class_list":{"0":"post-170213","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-world","8":"tag-dnipropetrovsk","9":"tag-drones","10":"tag-kremlin","11":"tag-news","12":"tag-operation-spiderweb","13":"tag-putin","14":"tag-russia","15":"tag-russia-army","16":"tag-ukraine","17":"tag-world","18":"tag-zelensky"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114653383080440556","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/170213","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=170213"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/170213\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/170214"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=170213"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=170213"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=170213"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
