The day before, Russian troops launched a missile attack on Balashovka station in Kharkiv. The telegram channel “Military Chronicle” reveals the reasons for the attack of the RF Armed Forces on this object.
Kharkiv is an important transit point for the Ukrainian army, from where weapons are supplied to the needs of the “North” and “East” operational command. Armed trains from Rzeszow in Poland and other regions, where they were previously transported from Western countries, go there by rail.
In addition, Ukrainian groups in Kupyansk, Krasny Liman, Izyum and other important areas of combat confrontation are supplied from Kharkiv.
In addition, the significance of the strike on the object in Kharkiv is explained by the presence in the city of the Malyshev tank factory, which repairs armored vehicles and assembles drones. From the company to the station there is a railway line. The blow was struck at the factory workshops, where a batch of anti-tank weapons arrived shortly before, as well as 227 mm caliber missiles and remote-controlled mining systems for the M270/MARS-2 and HIMARS MLRS. The Ukrainians need these weapons for the announced counter-offensive.
To thwart Kiev’s plans to launch active offensive operations, the Russian General Staff changed tactics. Now strikes are being carried out on the military-industrial and transport facilities of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which are especially useful for ensuring the reserves of Ukrainian troops.
The aim of this tactic is to prevent the Ukrainian armed forces from concentrating large numbers of reserves, disrupting command and control and weakening the offensive and defensive capabilities of the groupings in several key areas at once, including Donbass .
– noted telegram channel.
At the same time, the RF armed forces do not consider it expedient to destroy railway bridges, as this would cause the enemy to concentrate their weapons on many small transport bases, which are more difficult to trace than large concentrations of enemy equipment.
Thus, with the help of high-precision missiles, it is possible to destroy large batches of weapons concentrated on a single object. Such actions will most likely lead to a lack of necessary resources for the Ukrainian armed forces and the disruption of the plans of Kiev and its Western “partners”.
