⚡️🇺🇦🌉🛤 @Rybar: How to Cut the Supply of the AFU Grouping near #Kherson⚡️

Throughout the Special Military Operation, we have regularly published lists of targets and provided our own analysis on critical Ukrainian infrastructure. In our view, the priority targets of the strikes were to be:

▪️ Bridges over the #Dnipro River (this would cut off the AFU grouping in the #Donbass);
▪️ Railway bridges in Western Ukraine and substations on the border with #Poland (this would cut off AFU supply from abroad);
▪️ Traction Substations (this would deprive the AFU of the ability to transfer reserves quickly by rail);
▪️ Depots and Recovery Trains (this would deprive the AFU of the ability to repair railway bridges and tracks).

We do not know the reasons why the decision to decommission the obvious targets was never taken. In this case, it is not that important.

Such measures have now been resorted to. At least energy and water infrastructure is being hit. Therefore, in the context of the forthcoming battle for #Kherson and possible complication of the operational and tactical situation Rybar's team prepared a list of targets that would help cut the railway supply of the AFU grouping in the #Nikolaev - #KrivoyRog direction.

❗️ The following stations are most convenient for unloading personnel and equipment:

#Apostolovo (there are loading ramps):

▪️ It is possible to block the station by hitting the following objects:
➖ The bridge over the #Bazavluk River (electrified line to #Zaporozhye): 47.615765, 34.050716
➖ Bridge over South Reservoir (electrified line to Krivoy Rog): 47.848247, 33.506936
➖ Bridge over the #Kamenka River (non-electrified line to #Dnipropetrovsk): 47.740510, 33.774697

▪️ Interfere with traffic by hitting the station throats:
➖ Northwest station neck: 47.663556, 33.688887
➖ Southeast station neck: 47.653044, 33.700969

#Ingulets River (there are loading ramps and a developed network of freight tracks):

▪️ The station can be blocked by hitting the bridges within Krivoy Rog city limits:
➖ Bridge over the #Ingulets River (electrified line towards Krivoy Rog-West station): 47.879503, 33.329674
➖ Bridge over Saksagan River (electrified line around Krivoy Rog railway junction): 47.904202, 33.280725

▪️ The station has one neck (dead-end): 47.682659, 33.141004

#Dolinskaya (there are loading ramps):

▪️ Block the direction to #Nikolaev and #Pomoshnaya by hitting the railway overpass (non-electrified line to #Nikolaev). If it collapses, it will fall onto the tracks and traffic in both directions will be blocked.
Coordinates: 48.079247, 32.76237

▪️ The line to #Znamenka cannot be effectively blocked: there are no bridges or overpasses there. Therefore, the only option left is to hit the northern neck of #Dolinskaya station or, alternatively, to hit #Znamenka station. But there is a recovery train on the section.
Coordinates of the first point: 48.709239, 32.611207.
Coordinates of the second point: 48.688326, 32.620170.

▪️ Prevent transports by hitting the throats:
➖ South station neck: 48.110104, 32.762684
➖ North station neck: 48.123856, 32.756854

The strike on #Dolinskaya must necessarily take place at the same time as the strikes on the bridges in Krivoy Rog, otherwise the station cannot be cut off from the east.

#Trihats:

▪️ To effectively cut off the railway traffic, a single bridge strike is sufficient. The fire attack can be made both from the side of the Southern Bug and #Nikolaev. We give coordinates from the #Nikolaev side. The Southern Bug side is more difficult to repair, but easier to ensure delivery of building materials.
Coordinates: 47.145036, 31.847657

#Bereznegovatoye:

The station has been hit several times and the railway bed is partially destroyed. It can all be rebuilt. But provided the link with Krivoy Rog is cut, no additional impact on #Bereznegovatoye will be needed.
