Missile Attack in the Moscow Region: Partisans Destroy Russian Military Infrastructure and Disrupt Communications
Tensions continue to rise globally around Russian command and its military facilities in the Moscow region. Recent reports indicate that activists from a partisan movement called "ATEШ" have gained significant operational advantage, successfully striking key military targets and causing widespread disruptions to military communication systems. The "ATEШ" movement confirmed that it carried out a sabotage operation in the settlement of Mogiltsy in the Moscow region, destroying equipment at a transformer substation that supplied energy and telecom infrastructure to the region. On their social media pages, the partisans published a detailed account of the operation, emphasizing its success and importance for their resistance. According to movement representatives, after the substation was destroyed, serious communication issues arose in the region, affecting several important military facilities of the aggressor country. These include a number of strategic military formations and objects in the Moscow region, such as the 629th Anti-Aircraft Missile Regiment (military unit 51857), the 21st Separate Special Purpose Brigade (military unit 3641), and a military town housing units of 3/2 51084. Sources report that the destruction of the transformer substation caused critical problems with communication and power supply, significantly impairing the functioning of military structures. In particular, the work of the 483rd Military Investigative Department of the Russian Investigative Committee and the dispatch service of "SberLogistics," which handles military contracts for the Russian Ministry of Defense, was disrupted. This caused chaos in command, disrupted planning and coordination among military units, and hampered rapid response to potential threats. The affected objects play a crucial role in Russia's defense and protection against internal or external challenges in the region. Their loss complicates the Russian military’s ability to manage its forces and carry out swift mobilization efforts. At the same time, these partisan actions undermine the psychological strategy of the occupiers by demonstrating that the infrastructure under their control remains vulnerable. This is another example of successful partisan activity that destroys logistical and communication chains of the enemy on a broad scale, heightening alarm within the Russian military leadership. Moreover, these events indicate the growing significance of unpredictable resistance efforts as an effective strategy to counter the aggressor, who seeks to maintain control in Russian territory and undermine its military potential from within. Against the backdrop of these developments, Russia faces increasing challenges in leadership and maintaining defense capabilities. Damage to key military infrastructure caused by partisan operations could significantly alter Kremlin’s military plans and deepen internal instability in the region. This underscores the importance of active partisan resistance in modern conflicts, capable of disrupting even the most advanced defense systems and complicating the Russian army's operations. Official Russian sources remain silent regarding the scale and scope of the inflicted damage, but independent observers and military analysts agree that these actions have far-reaching consequences and open a new front in the struggle for regional control. It is hoped that the efforts of the partisans will catalyze further successes, reduce the enemy’s military reserves, and enhance the safety of Ukrainians and other inhabitants of the region. Overall, the situation demonstrates that even in the most difficult conditions, resistance can become a powerful tool against the enemy, breaking their plans and turning the tide in favor of the defenders. While Russian military forces assess the extent of the damage and seek ways to restore communication and energy supplies, Ukrainian partisans continue their fight in the shadows, showing their ability to act effectively and mercilessly.
