I didn't know trains could fall out of windows

That's what happens when you smoke in your locomotives.

Lack of maintenance dramatically increase the chances of bad luck.

Also being a dick will increase the odds I am told.

How many of them cam they produce? My impression is not many and so they will run out if this keeps up but I don't know.

Russia Railways took delivery of 557 locomotives in 2023. Sounds like a lot, but they have something like 20,000 locomotives total and a lot of them are rather old. Also the manufacturers have a lot of workers with skills easily used for weapons production. So I doubt it will be as many this year.

Still that means 10 locomotives destroyed isn't a usefully large number. They need to destroy a hundreds before Russia has to make hard choices and several thousand before it will significantly affect the war. Thanks for finding that. (will I should ask for a source)
