Russian Railway Troops operate a special train

It is designed for technical reconnaissance, mine action, and restoration of railway lines and small man-made structures with minor damage.

It is not only military trains that are secured in the special military operation zone by the military personnel. If needed, this special train can become a safe cover for trains carrying civilians.

The largest calibre on the armoured train is the ZU-23-2 unit. There are also 12.7mm Utyos machine guns and grenade launchers.

The train is armoured, with platforms housing weapons, equipment, and firepower, as well as shelters for firing and repelling enemy attacks.

In this train, the diesel locomotive is in the middle of the train so that the first impact does not put the locomotive out of action. The tail and head of the special train are arranged in inversed manner and contain armoured pods. This is a real armoured train, armed, as they say, ‘to the teeth.’
