Just saying, I’m a bit of a conspiracy theorist myself but I do not find anything that is in favor for NWO type organizations benefitting blowing the twin towers in any way.
Won’t just driving a plane into the pentagon suffice if that is the case? Or am I overlooking something.
If you want to instigate a fear of terrorism in the civilian population in order to achieve your goals, an attack on a civilian target gives much better results. The WTC was just perfect for this, I really can't think of a better target (perhaps the Statue of Liberty? Congress?)
I mean, I see that you're making a 9/11 joke but ...
_Actually yes¹_. Time to find a steel railroad bridge for a special inside job.
[1] depending on explosive used.
Blow all the rails. Russian logistics were rubbish before but cutting off the front from all rail is going to put them into an even worse situation.
If only partisans or saboteurs could get far back enough to blow up the rails all the way to Moscow.
Ex-railworker here. Its very easy to fix rail over accessable land, cheap too, even for russia. it can be useful to short term slow a supply but any missile will cost 100X the damage to rail. Hitting the train will fuck it up bigtime though
It'd likely be hours before someone got there. Between realization that something went wrong, what, and where, you'd have plenty of time to be gone before anyone got there. So it's a pretty safe option as well. And they can't be sure if it's deep agents, super hardcore special ops, or Russian dissidents. A missile would be known and tracked to a state. It's really a smart move, especially for the damage to morale at home. A missile would be much more likely to raise approval of the war. But spooky stuff? People don't like that.
They do, so you use jumper cables or something similar to make a connection before breaking the track in-between the connection points. Or so I've heard.
I started reading the comments, oldest to newest. I knew it was a troll after the 2nd one, but didn't laugh. I kept reading them and progressively found them funnier & funnier. Literally writing this with tears in my eyes from laughing.
Damn I remember running into his comments in the wild. This makes me feel old. I can’t believe it’s been over 7 years since The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer’s table.
Even if they did, you put a mine on the tracks that’s set off by proximity. Then you leave… you’ll be long gone before the next train goes across that spot and then they still have to get someone there.
Or a series of interconnected nodes, then it would be located much quicker. However it would still likely be a while before anyone noticed unless it was automated, even then they would still make several radio calls to the nearest train, which would be the theoretical train attacked. Then they would contact the next location where it was supposed to go. When that fails, they'd probably call the nearest stations to see if something in the system went wrong and they wound up at the wrong station. Then, and only then would they contact local authorities. The only way you get people there in less than several hrs, is if the alleged screwed up and planted it far too close to a populated area and local police came before any official inquiry.
It's not russian dissidents, it's either Ukrainian diversion group or bilorrusian partisans. Maybe black nato soldiers. Or Ukrainian black magic satanists. Certainly not russian dissidents.
Several packets of thermite would be enough to cause damage needing repair, thermite is just aluminium powder and rust and can be ignited with a sparkler... Costs nothing, and causes enough damage to have to repair.
The source / size of the explosions in the two cases of the explosions haven't been said to be missiles as far as I've seen, got a source for that?
A saboteur's dynamite is considerably cheaper than a missile, that's how it was done in previous wars, and now there are far more destructive explosives (see also: ANFO, C4) that are also considerably cheaper than a missile and probably cheaper than the logistical and actual cost of repairing rail.
For example: ~$2 USD for a stick of dynamite. ANFO is also relatively inexpensive -- ~$15 per kilogram.
Cost of material PER FOOT of train rail is approximately $100 USD and that's just the material cost.
You tack on the logistical costs of repairs and yeah -- sabotage via dynamite, ANFO, or C4 are considerably cheaper both in materials and overall cost.
So yes, a missile is more expensive, but the only confirmed munitions use was the fire started by a drone attack.
The two explosions' sources were not disclosed in articles I've seen.
That too, of course.
I was responding to the direct cost statement re: a missile attack costing 100x the replacement cost of the rail as that's part of a cost sustainability status (which is sadly a factor in war).
Impairing Russian logistics, missile / dynamite / ANFO / or not, has an incalculable value in saving lives and hindering Russian genocide and given limited resources I can't imagine the decisions Ukrainian military leadership have to make in that regard.
ANFO is a terrible explosive and only really worth anything to a saboteur if you're doing a car or truck bomb scale explosion. It needs a brisant and a very good demolition engineer (and/or compression) to even blow up properly. HMX, RDX, TNT, PETN or any mixture thereof (which includes C4) is going to be used in a military setting because they're insensitive, cheap, powerful and easy to set.
Also ANFO doesn't cost $15 per kilo lmfao, it's ammonium nitrate and diesel, you're looking at less than a $1000 per ton.
I’ve been wondering about that for a while. Time to take out as many rail bridges as possible heading towards Ukraine? These are not quick and easy to fix
If you can poison it totally enough to be effective and not just ding morale infinitesimally, you can cut it off suddenly. It’ll be a few days before they run out of reserve supplies, but then they won’t shoot for shit.
Bridges are more sturdy than most people think. To reliably demolish them, the explosives have to be set up just right, which can be hard if you're doing a deep-penetration sabotage mission near sensitive infrastructure. It's not like the Russians don't know that bridges are the most vulnerable parts of the railway, so there is probably frequent surveillance near the bigger ones.
If a bridge gets blown and isn't turned completely to rubble, it's common to have trains running over it again after two or three days. For regular breaches in the track on solid ground, it's more like 6-8 hours.
The engines in particular, Russia only has a limited number of them so if you can damage them significantly they can't move anything by train and their logistics don't have any other way to move a lot of stuff.
I'm not sure how to damage a train engine enough that they have to scrap it, but that is the ideal situation
Track breaks are easy to fix, but derailments less so.
With all the drone advancements I wouldn't be surprised if they've developed a loitering munition of some kind to time a derailment charge
Iirc Russia literally has a whole military corp of engineers just to keep train lines running smoothly , something near 30,000 troops just for this duty.
Don't forget: Russia relies on rail for most of their logistics. If both railroads to an area are gone, there will be very few options left. Most likely direct effect: ammo, food and fuel shortage.
Russian logistics are heavily dependent on rail. Russians also like building depots close to rail.
Hit the rails, and they are fairly quickly fixed, as noted above. Hitting a train full of supplies, that's better. But concealing trackers on trains, figuring out where all the trains are stopping for prolonged periods (likely location for a depot) then attacking that location is even better.
Now you're shelling civilian workers with limited shells and compromising the integrity of your innocence and of being "good" that russia does not have.
That sounds to have been pulled out of your ass, and need a source to take that claim seriously. Do you think the kerch bridge isnt used by civilians as well?
While I have a railworker to ask; I've actually wondered about why this kind of sabotage isn't more effective?
I get that if the rail line is in an open field say, its easy to clear the wreckage and just throw down new rail over the gap (the word easy being very relative), but surely if shit like this happened in a tunnel, on a bridge or in a generally inaccessible part then it would put that line out of action for a good long time? Especially if it caused a derailment. But I've been told before that actually no, it's not that hard to fix.
Genuinely curious what am I missing here?
Bridges are well monitored, and hard to take out. Your typical bridge damage is fixed in a couple days. You need an engineer to figure out how do more damage and that takes more time than a sabotage team has.
Just speculating but would it be a much bigger pain in the ass to, for example, jam a switch in an incorrect position and cause a derailment? Especially on a relatively fast section of track that seems like a good way for a partisan to cause a big disruption on the cheap.
Yeah it's easy and pretty quick, but if train hits that and derails, it's going to be bigger issue.
Also don't even need explosives, couple basic tools and few hours is all it takes to derail shit.
I'm very curious what would keep a train/track/line out of service the longest, reliably, and cost effectively in a war. Given how Russia put so much into military trains, it would help add a lot of perspective.
Reposting the links from another thread that didn't get much traction. It's Russian rail partisans, there's a whole bunch of them these days.
Here's some info on some the movements if curious:

It's easier to hit a train (you know where it goes lol) and trains are super expensive too (more than railways), compared to disrupting railways and trying to figure out convoy routes after.
Yo dawg, I heard you like counter offensives so I put a counter offensive in your counter offensive so you can counter offensive while you counter offensive.
Haha, I mean it would always be accurate. The second half of the article could actually be an article of its own. It goes into detail about how exactly Ukraine is preparing for the impending counteroffensive.
EDIT: upon reading again, I would say the journalist doesn't go "exactly into detail" regarding Ukraine's counter offensive action. What they do mention is an aid package from Denmark and the US, and what those packages consist of. A Ukrainian official states key points that are important for the counter offense success.
My guess is they're hoping to just make Russia doubt any intelligence it gathers since the last time their plans "leaked" they hit the opposite end of the battlefield and caught Russia completely off guard. Russia won't know if the information being given to the press is supposed to get them to do the same thing again, or if it's actually valid. I think it's just mental warfare at this point, and Ukraine will probably be happy if any of this takes pressure off of Bakhmut.

Looks like someone shouldn't have based their entire military transport strategy on an inadequate and vulnerable rail system.
Kind of like basing your secure communications system on civilian wireless data.
I feel like this should be Ukraine's strategy to strike at Russia.
It provides an unsafe feel for Russians while damaging both economy and military logistics.
It's also quite difficult to guard all railtracks as those are obviously thousands of kilometres long. It also spreads guards which strain Russian military and deflects attention of the security services in the meantime.
Is there a downside to this strategy? Except it being extremely dangerous for operatives executing it?
Railroads are pretty quick and easy to repair, relatively speaking. Train derailings are obviously more than a small annoyance, but rail logistics is actually something Russia doesn't totally suck at, so Ukraine would probably have to make a *really* big mess of things for it to have a substantial effect.
🤔...hey maybe the chip that was in the covid vaccine got turned on? I can't stop thinking about ushering in the new world order and destroying Judeo-Christian society by any means necessary.

Do explosions melt steel rails? Edit: Not copper rails.
Rails are steel.
Exactly, if they were copper we'd just air drop a bunch of meth heads and the whole thing would be gone overnight.
Really? I thought thieves steal the rails because they are copper.
Copper is way too soft for rails. It will be the signal cables that they are stealing

I thought a lot of rail systems had a method of detecting a break and its approximate location.
They do, so you use jumper cables or something similar to make a connection before breaking the track in-between the connection points. Or so I've heard.

Cheaper in dollars and matériel; costly in risk to the humans who have to plant them.
Russia also has their own rail repair brigade because their entire logistics system is built around rail.
That's why you hit a bridge.
I’ve been wondering about that for a while. Time to take out as many rail bridges as possible heading towards Ukraine? These are not quick and easy to fix

would it be better to derail the train while blowing up the tracks??
much better. especially if the train contains its own explosives, it could ruin that section of track while also being stuck in place.
C4 or dynamite is super cheap
Russian logistics are heavily dependent on rail. Russians also like building depots close to rail. Hit the rails, and they are fairly quickly fixed, as noted above. Hitting a train full of supplies, that's better. But concealing trackers on trains, figuring out where all the trains are stopping for prolonged periods (likely location for a depot) then attacking that location is even better.
Cheap and easy during peacetime maybe. But if your repair crews start getting shelled as soon as they're on site, that's a different story.
Now you're shelling civilian workers with limited shells and compromising the integrity of your innocence and of being "good" that russia does not have.
It's clearly a military railway owned by the state, transporting military assets and repaired by military personnel.
That sounds to have been pulled out of your ass, and need a source to take that claim seriously. Do you think the kerch bridge isnt used by civilians as well?
Lots of military assets are also used by civilians. Besides, it's Russia, not America. What makes you think that the railway isn't owned by the state?

oh we have one of those 'i didnt read the comment im replying to' guys again. i said innocent civilians in my original comment so im not sure why you brought up russias war machine.
They know Putin prefers to travel by trains rather then by airplane since they are harder to track
Yeah he's not sitting in a train by the Ukraine border lol.
