The Russian armoured train Volga (call sign "Breakthrough") is an armoured train currently in use by Russia in its ongoing invasion of Ukraine in 2022.[3] Unlike its sister train Yenisei, which is built primarily for logistics and refugee ferrying, Volga is primarily used for engineering, reconnaissance, mine clearance, restoration of damaged railway tracks, and escorting cargo within the Ukrainian combat zones.[2]
