It was hit first by a bomb planted on the tracks by Ukraine’s top secret military intelligence GRU.
The train was then hit in a precision strike by US-supplied HIMARS missiles, which destroyed the locomotive and the rear wagons.
Ukrainian drones then targeted the rest of the train destroying the rest of the oil cargo.
Footage released by Ukraine’s spies showed the railway wreck in a massive blaze on the tracks following the blitz.
Not only did Ukraine destroy an important Russian train, but it has blocked a key rail line Russia had been using.
Kyiv’s military intelligence agency GRU also released footage showing another strike against a bridge.
A missile could be seen landing on the span which then collapses, rendering the railway useless.
A spokesperson for the GRU said: “The explosion occurred in the railway district of Ulyanovsk, on a line near the Sviyaga River, a few kilometres from the local locomotive depot and the Ulyanovsk Motor Plant.
“The process of weakening the logistics facilities that Russia uses to wage a genocidal war against Ukraine continues.”
In another strike, three more trains and a warplane were hit on December 13.
A Ukrainian saboteur lit fires inside the the cabin of the locomotives rendering them useless.
