The Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense said that the Russian military blew up a train with their own ammunition and equipment at the Kalanchak railway station. Before that, they prepared a smoke screen that was supposed to protect them from the HIMARS system.. It happened yesterday, the next day after the arrival of the cargo, according to the GUR.

" Obviously, in order to mask the unloading process and protect against HIMARS strikes, the occupiers used powerful means of smoke. At about 11:20 a.m., an explosion occurred in the work area, the intelligence report said.. - It was not possible to accurately determine its nature due to a dense smoke screen. However, immediately after the explosion, the echelon, without any warning, began to move in the direction of the Crimea.. The enemy personnel fled in panic..

The cause of the explosion, according to our scouts, was the careless handling of ammunition during their unloading or a fire that arose due to the inept use of pyrotechnics during the creation of a smoke screen..

In a new package of military assistance, the United States announced the delivery of four more HIMARS installations.

Earlier, Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov said that 50 HIMARS and M270 missile systems are needed for the defense of Ukraine, and 100 for the offensive..

Why the aggressor failed the first stage of the invasion and failed to succeed in the second? What tasks should our army solve at the third stage in order to oust the Russians from Ukraine? What are the consequences of a truce to which Putin will persuade Ukraine? The answers to these questions and the forecast for the coming months can be found in the article by Major General Sergei Savchenko \? It will not happen. It's all started"
