Many friends may wonder, why it has been more than two years since the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and military aid from United States and the West can still continue to enter Ukraine. Won't the Russian army go to strike at the material transportation routes of the Ukrainian army? In fact, this is not that the Russian army is unwilling to do this, but that it is indeed difficult to hit the material transportation routes of the Ukrainian army.
Ukraine is the second largest country in Europe by territorial area (after Russia) and shares borders with several NATO countries, including Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, and Moldova, although not a member of NATO and the European Union, is also very anti-Russian and pro-Western. Therefore, theoretically, Ukraine can obtain NATO military assistance from any point of the long border line of more than 1,000 kilometers between these five countries and Ukraine, and it is obviously very difficult for the Russian army to fully monitor these border lines.
Moreover, Ukraine is also very secretive about receiving NATO aid, and the secrecy is very good, and even the public was not allowed to talk about it publicly for a time. Moreover, when Ukraine receives aid, it often sets the transportation time at night, so that it can use the night to cover and reduce the probability of being discovered by the Russian army.
However, a recent incident has made many observers exclaim, and the Russian army can be said to have "opened the eyes of the sky": according to the video materials publicly released by the Russia Ministry of Defense, the Russian army found that two military trains of the Ukrainian army entered the Bavenkovo railway station in Kharkiv Oblast. Immediately, the Russian army launched an offensive and launched two powerful Iskander-M ballistic missiles in a row, inflicting huge losses on the Ukrainian army. According to Russia sources, each of the two military trains has 20 carriages, which are full of personnel and military equipment of the 41st Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian army. Many of these military equipment were aided by the United States and the West, and the 41st Mechanized Brigade, as the so-called "NATO elite" of the Ukrainian army, suffered huge losses before it could reach the front line, which is really a bit of a "loss". Judging from the location, it is very likely that the department is preparing to go to northern Kharkiv to support the Ukrainian army's counteroffensive against the Russian army in Volchansk, and at this time, the Ukrainian army's support operations are likely to be lost.
So, we can't help but ask, how did the Russian army complete the positioning of the Ukrainian army's train? In my opinion, there are likely two reasons for this. First of all, the Russian army's satellite technology has made great progress, the Russian army has used a number of military satellites to successfully conduct long-term reconnaissance of the Ukrainian army's train, and finally determined its accurate location, and in a short time when the train stopped, it successfully launched a strike, which undoubtedly shows that the Russian army's reconnaissance and positioning capabilities have indeed been greatly improved.
Secondly, the successful positioning of the Russian army this time is likely to be helped by local pro-Russian organizations. Kharkiv has been an important historical and cultural city in Russia's history since ancient times, and there are many local pro-Russian people, and the "Kharkiv State" that "seceded" from Ukraine was once established, so it is not surprising that there are some pro-Russian organizations supported by Russia in the local area. Therefore, the author believes that the successful attack of the Russian army on the Ukrainian army train this time is also very likely that the local pro-Russian organization informed the Russian army of key information such as the stop and movement of the Ukrainian army's train.
End of this issue.
