Ukrainian Drones STRIKE Russian Train - Then THIS Happened...

On May 24th, 2025, three Ukrainian drones turned a Russian fuel train carrying 560 tons of diesel into a 200-meter pillar of fire, shutting down the critical Verkhniy Tokmak-Molochansk–Fedorivka railway line for weeks. This technical breakdown reveals exactly how it happened.
Witness how modified DJI Mavic reconnaissance drones provided real-time thermal targeting while Ukrainian-built FPV quadcopters delivered shaped-charge warheads through heavy Russian electronic warfare jamming. Learn how frequency-hopping technology defeated the Leer-3 EW system's attempts to crash the drones, why GPS spoofing failed against inertial navigation backups, and how 2.6-kilogram warheads punched through steel tank cars to ignite catastrophic fuel-air explosions.
From the initial target acquisition at 0243 hours to the complete destruction 87 seconds later, we analyze every phase: the decision to strike a moving train, the electronic warfare battle, and the cascading explosions that turned interconnected fuel cars into a self-sustaining inferno. See how $5,000 worth of drones eliminated millions in Russian logistics assets and why traditional air defenses can't stop this new generation of precision weapons
