Not really surprised, they just don't seem to get it.  An RPG would disable that locomotive and aren't there 17,000 anti-tank missiles in the hands of angry patriots?

I had seen reports of an armoured train. Unfortunately the photos seem to have disappeared during the great outage.  The Russians are very heavily dependent on rail for their logistics.

The armoured train was like something out of a museum.

 

Quite why the propaganda machine brought this to the media is unknown and it seems to have returned from hence forth it came.

 

I doubt it did anything except roll out for a tv appearance.

What I found more practical was the hedgehogs on the streets on Kiev, actually featured one they dragged from the WW2 museum, still with its information plaque on it

On one of the telegram channels was a video of a group of soldiers using WW2 era machine guns. Also many towns in Ukraine has Soviet T 34 tanks as monuments, and just recently a few have been replaced by more modern captured trophies,

There are now reports an armoured train has been blown up by sabotage at Melitipol.

Now if only they'd salvage and restore the wreck of the Caspian Sea Monster ekranoplan....
