On the evening of September 17, 2025, the Russian army sent a group of drones. They did not touch the railway tracks or the station. They went directly to the electric center of the railway, pulling the substation, and stopped as soon as it exploded. The trains in the direction of Donbas were all stuck. The Ukrainian army's trains transporting artillery shells and drone parts were stuck on the road, piling up like mountains behind them. The Ukrainian Railways themselves said that front-line supplies were more than three days late.

Previously, the Russian army bombed the railroad, the Ukrainian army could repair for two hours, the train was running, this time it was not the same, the Russian army bombed the power station, that thing was big as a house, one had to wait a few weeks, the key parts had to be shipped from abroad, temporarily too, the Russian side itself said, so the efficiency was three times higher, not blindly, it was to select the most harmful place to handle.

The Ukrainian army of the front line immediately realized that it was wrong, the Red Army City and the Red Man side, artillery at once rarely, the original five minutes round, now wait twenty minutes not necessarily have movement, logistics worse, only on the old diesel car shipment, the speed of the car slowed by half, the team pulled the old, just by the drone as the target, the Zaporozhye direction, the Ukrainian Army's 17th Army Corps lacks supplementation, a few new upward troops defense line can not withstand, the Russian army with the opportunity to push forward, took the new Horyhrivka.

Someone asked why it took 1314 days to think of this trick, the Russian army at the beginning was stupid, the light hit hard in the front, did not ignore the invisible life lines behind the enemy, the Ukrainian railway was repaired quickly, but it was on the old base left by the Soviet Union and the West supported, the power station was not the same, it was a dead hole, can not be repaired or overcome, as in the year of Normandy landing, the allies all rely on the railway blood, one day the railway hub was broken, the front line was destroyed.

Fighting now depends not only on who has the most artillery, but also on who can control energy and transportation. On September 3, the Russian army threw more than 500 drones and missiles a day to attack power stations and railway hubs. The Ukrainian army panicked. The emergency repair team stopped repairing rails and turned to replace transformers. However, the problem is that there are few companies in the world who can make 500 kV transformers, and they are still stuck in Europe and the United States. On September 23, the CEO of Ukraine Railway told reporters that we really didn't expect the war to end like this.

What the Ukrainian army is encountering now is not tanks rushing over, nor shells exploding incessantly, but wires being quietly cut one by one. There is no explosion or smoke. However, the shells on the front line are getting fewer and fewer, and the convoy is getting slower and slower, and the defense line becomes more and more unable to hold up. The Russian army finally understands that to fight this modern battle, you don't have to rush into the trenches. As long as the electricity is cut off, the opponent's machines will slowly stop.

This is not the harsher thing, is who better understands where the system is easy to issue problems, the Ukrainian army used to run fast on the railway, now found that it ran faster, no electricity can not move, the Russian army spent more than three years to grasp this matter, now began to fight to death, the Ukrainian army is still everywhere to find transformers, but the time does not wait for people, the front line of artillery has become less and less.
