A few days back there was a Russian airstrike close to the Ukraine - Poland border. The Russians were hitting trains. The Russians have developed a tactic of NOT attacking coaches with passengers. But they strike the locomotives or engines. Once the locomotives or engines are knocked out the new replacements are hard to come by. So the trains cannot move. This has seriously disrupted the entire railway system in Ukraine.
The Russians also conserve ammunition because they only strike the locomotive engines and also avoid collateral casualties.
A few days ago a whole group of western visitors including ex British PM Boris Johnson, ex CIA Director General Petraeus, the present National Security Advisors of Germany and to the British PM, the Foreign Minister of Poland and other western dignitaries were travelling by train from Kiev towards Poland. They did not fly beause flying is dangerous inside Ukraine.
They had disembarked at a railway station at the Poland - Ukraine border to switch trains. Soon after they had disembarked there was a Russian airstrike at that railway station which destroyed some locomotives. It has been reported that ex CIA Director General Petraeus witnessed the Russian airstrike (and had to take cover).
Meantime US intelligence has warned Kiev that the Russians will be executing a total of 14 massive strikes against ALL of Ukraine's energy infrastructure. This will prioritise electric power generation plants, oil and gas storage facilities, oil refineries, petrol stations etc.
Just two days back the Russians launched the largest drone strike ever with over 1,000 Geran drones flying all over Ukraine to hit targets of military value. Surprisingly the western media reports few deaths or casualties despite such massive attacks.
The Russians are also dropping FAB GPS guided bombs which are devastating. About 280 FAB bombs per day or about 8,000 bombs per month. These are the old Soviet era 'dumb' gravity bombs (500 kg, 1 tone, 3 tons) which have been modified with cheap tail fins and guidance systems. The simple modifications make the bombs as accurate as precision guided missiles - but with the oversized payload of Soviet era dumb bombs.
Despite such massive strikes the western media reports few civilian casualties. This is either deliberate or there are indeed few civilian casualties. No Vietnam war or Iraq war style massive carpet bombing of civilian populations.
