Heh, pretty ingenious. They knocked out some power substations so that the molten metal that the electric arc furnaces handle froze inside, requiring extensive cleaning and likely the replacement of various critical components… that can’t be obtained from Germany anymore. This was a highly effective strategic attack on Russian logistics.
