A few days ago, a video appeared on the internet showing the passage of an armored war train towards the Ukrainian town of Melitopol. Although armored trains are mainly associated with the past, Russia still uses them today as a valuable and effective weapon.

Sending an armoured train into action rather amused many. In the past, armoured trains were mainly used during the World Wars. However, Russia, albeit intermittently, still uses their services today. They proved very effective in fighting in the Chechen Republic just a few years ago. Today, the Russian arsenal possesses 4 such trains in standby - Terek, Don, Baikal, and Amur. Their service reactivation was ordered by Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu in 2016.
