To spread: the Russians began to systematically strike the Ukrainian railway infrastructure. The observers reminded that in the Second World War, in addition to armored trains, special anti -aircraft platforms were used to protect echelons from attacks. A comprehensive solution is needed to protect against railroads on the railway, Defense Express writes October 8.
