"Victory Thunder" ("Victory of Thunder")

Almost nothing is known about this armored train. It was probably built and operated in the Caucasus. At the end of October 1919, "Victory Thunder" took part in the battles near Orel and Kursk, and was part of the 9th armored train division.

In March 1920, the armored train "Victory Thunder" passed in one column with the armored trains "Forward for the Motherland" , "General Kornilov" and others to Tuapse. Almost all of its combat unit was abandoned on March 23, 1920 at the Goyth station.

After leaving Tuapse, an armored train as part of one armored platform covered the retreat of the remnants of the Volunteer Army in Sochi along the seashore. The armored platforms of the remaining armored trains have already been thrown into the sea in Tuapse.

The Victory Thunder took its last battle on April 2, 1920 at the Loo station. Further, the railway track was not yet completed, and the last armored train of Tuapsinki was left there.
