Russian forces have managed to build more than 2,100 freight train sets in the 30 kilometer long train. Ukrainian open source intelligence tracker DeepState.
And people think that's what it was made for Russia to use as a line of defense against anyone future Ukrainian attacks.
DeepState wrote: “This is a very specific technical structure, the effectiveness of which is difficult to assess.
“The idea is clear: an obstacle to the progress of the (Ukrainian) armed forces.”
The huge barrier stretches between Olenivka and Volnovakha Ukrainethe occupied region of Donetsk Oblast.
Smart analyzes by a team of experts from the Institute for the Study of War have been monitoring the train since construction started.
Terrifying satellite images last week revealed the huge line of train carriages built by Russian forces.
The apparently mobile wall is believed to have been built over the past nine months, starting in July 2023.
Deepstate continued: “It can be considered a separate line of defense, as it is extremely difficult to damage, move or blow up a 30 kilometer long mass of metal, and moving equipment through such an obstacle without it to break through. gait is impossible.”
The railway line connecting the two areas is about 6 km from the front line and, according to the ISW, is at its nearest point southeast of the village of Novomykhailivka.
Here it is located on the actual bloody battlefield after it remained relatively quiet and the Russians started construction.
According to reports, Russian forces have recently made small gains in the area.
The Donetsk region has seen heavy fighting since the war broke out almost two years ago, with the area still embroiled in bloody battles over territory.
The ISW also suggests that “the Russians could have collected the train for other purposes” outside of defensive cover.
The latest news about the war in Ukraine
AFTER almost two years, the war in Ukraine continues, while fears of an all-out Third World War between Russia and the West persist.
Since the start of the war, Russia has lost approximately 385,230 personnel, 6,310 tanks and 11,757 armored fighting vehicles. army officials said.
Putin's army also reportedly lost 9,195 artillery units, 974 multiple rocket systems, 663 air defense systems, 332 fighter planes and 324 helicopters.
The list goes on: 7,100 drones1,846 cruise missiles, 23 warships, 1 submarine, 12,231 motor vehicles and fuel tankers, and 1,452 units of special equipment.
As the tyrant is estimated to have done seen more than 300,000 troops died since declaring war in February 2022.
Ukraine previously claimed so sank a Russian warship – with 50 sailors on board – using kamikaze sea drones.
Footage shared by Ukraine Department of Defense showed the dramatic moment when the boats rushed towards Putin's £55 million Black Sea rocket ship “Ivanovets” and sent it into flames.
In another major scalp for Ukraine were two of Putin's most crucial spy planes worth £290 million shot last month.
One of the Russian dictator's £260m spy planes disappeared and a £30m bomber was set on fire after Ukrainian forces shot them out of the skies over the Sea of Azov.
However, despite Ukraine's success, Russia has no plans to slow down its attacks.
Earlier this month, Putin assembled 40,000 troops, 500 tanks and hundreds of howitzer artillery guns to unleash hell on Kupyansk.
On January 15, a leaked military report revealed Putin's possible roadmap to bring the West to the brink of World War III.
The secret documents describe the despot's possible “road to conflict”, which will culminate in the summer of 2025, on “Day NATO And Russian soldiers will face each other.
According to reports, Putin is desperate for a major victory before the elections rubber stamp elections in March which will almost certainly secure his brutal rule over Russia until at least 2030.
But Zelensky does shook up his cabinet when he appointed a new commander-in-chief in the form of Colonel General Oleksandr Syrskyi – a hardened warrior who has overseen most of Ukraine's major battlefield victories.
Russia, that launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine has expressed outrage in the past when Ukrainian attacks have killed civilians in Donetsk and other neighboring areas.
But Russia's own air campaign strikes and heavy shelling has killed thousands of Ukrainian civilians.
The governor of the Ukrainian-controlled part of the region, Vadym Filashkin, said Russian attacks in January killed at least two people in two locations west of the city of Donetsk.
Shelling killed a 31-year-old man and wounded another person near Kurakhove, about 45 kilometers from Donetsk.
While a 62-year-old man was killed and a 70-year-old man was injured in Krasnohorivka, between Donetsk and Kurakhove, he said.
“I call on everyone who remains in Donetsk: evacuate!” Filashkin said in a post on messaging app Telegram.
Donetsk is one of four regions in eastern and southern Ukraine that Russia claimed to have annexed in late 2022, a move condemned as illegal by most countries in the UN General Assembly.
