This should be a normal response to every Russian penetration.

I like a sight of a nice blaze in the morning....

I do not even care what caused it.

There is a need for a real partisan movement with dozens of trains going off the rails every month.

Those are not your normal dumbbells.

I suspect these guys will immediately return home at first opportunity

Ukrainians will, most likely, find how to reduce this manufacturing capability.

Russian Pearl-Harbor?

Do they have the manpower to do so while so much of their military resource is tied down in Ukraine?
