Recently, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced a battlefield news that Major Mikhail Dermidov, the military representative of the railway station, successfully transferred a train full of ammunition to a safe area under the artillery fire of the Ukrainian army.
The incident occurred at a railway station controlled by the Russian army. At that time, the Ukrainian army carried out large-scale artillery bombardment on the station, trying to cut off the Russian military's combat supply line. A train carrying ammunition is under fire coverage, and the situation is very critical.
Major Jamidoff, braved the continuous artillery fire, quickly directed the transfer of the train to the backup track to escape it from the most dangerous area. After the shelling stopped, he also organized personnel to check the rails and confirmed that there was no unexploded ammunition before allowing the train to continue to drive to the destination.
Analysts pointed out that railway transportation still plays an important role in modern warfare. Especially in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, both sides rely on railway lines to transport heavy equipment and large amounts of supply supplies. Protecting the smooth operation of railways directly affects the combat capabilities of front-line troops.
Since this conflict broke out, railway facilities have become the key target of both sides' crackdown and protection. Ukraine has successfully attacked the Russian logistics supply line many times, while the Russian army has continuously strengthened air defense and security measures along the railway.
In this regard, some people praised the major's heroic behavior: "Keep calm and complete tasks under artillery fire, showing the quality of professional soldiers." Some people questioned the authenticity of the news: "War propaganda always highlights personal heroism, and the actual situation may be more complicated." Some comments pointed out: "No matter what, this shows the importance of the logistics line in war." Some netizens lamented the dangers of the battlefield: "Just think about dispatching trains in the artillery fire coverage area, it feels nervous, and it is a little slower or wrong judgment, and the consequences are unimaginable and it is not easy."
Some people believe that both Russia and Ukraine are increasing morale by publishing such war reports. Russia's choice to highlight the contribution of logistics support personnel shows that they are aware of the importance of maintaining supply lines to long-term operations.
This incident indirectly reflects another feature of the current situation: war is not only a firefight between front-line soldiers, but also a competition of the entire logistics system. Whoever can better protect his supply line and destroy the other party's logistics channels will gain an advantage in the war of attrition.
It is worth noting that railway workers are taking unprecedented risks in this conflict. Although they do not directly participate in combat, they are often in dangerous environments and become a key link in ensuring the continuous combat capability of the army.
In the history of war, logistics support often determines the success or failure of a battle. Although modern warfare is advanced in technology, the basic principles have not changed: no matter how advanced the weapons are, they still need ammunition, and no matter how elite the troops are, they also need supplies. Major Jamidoff's story reminds people that when paying attention to the situation on the front, those who ensure the operation of war machines in the rear should not be ignored.
