According to the Ukrainian online media Defense Express, for the war against Ukraine, the Russians assembled a new armoured train, the Yenisei, composed of cars of the Ukrainian national carrier Ukrzaliznytsia stolen in the Kharkiv region. The occupiers plan to use it to conduct engineering reconnaissance and deliver ammunition to the front line.

However, some are convinced that the train is also meant for combat operations. At the head of the Yenisei, there is a platform with ZU-23-2, which serves primarily as an anti-personnel weapon. The second platform with BMP-2 has a ramp for the congress so that the vehicle could move around the armoured train if necessary.

The occupiers directly claim that containers, locomotives and rolling stock were stolen from Ukrzaliznytsia in the Kharkiv region to build the Yenisei armoured train.

Theoretically, there are two covered wagons for goods transportation, in which the occupiers set up firing points. The Yenisei's vulnerability is also pointed out. There is an unprotected fuel tank filled with diesel fuel located between the wheel pairs of the locomotive.
