That's a bit too wonder-weapony for me to think that it will actually happen that way.
That Crimean bridge seems like it could be destroyed effectively, but it's out of range. With the Donbas, I wonder if any damage could be repaired relatively quickly, since it would obviously be a priority.
- oneoff786 4y agoYou can’t destroy railroads easily. They’re simple to repair. Russia’s problem is they don’t know what to do when the train reaches the end. The HIMARS are destroying the ammo dumps because all Russia can do is unload stuff from trains and put it into one place, then truck it around as needed. They don’t have enough trucks or loading equipment to change this strategy. So if you need to get goods from Russia to the front, your only option is to train it a place outside HIMAR range and then truck the last grueling 100km which is really slow and ineffective. Not too dissimilar from the kyiv convoy early on.
