Crimea Bridge Attack I How Russia Has Been Securing Putin’s Prized Kerch Bridge Against Strikes
Putin's Crimea Bridge has been damaged after a fire broke out following a reported explosion on the road section of the bridge. This follows months of threats made by Ukraine against the bridge which connects Russia and Russian-occupied Crimea. The Crimean Bridge, also called the Kerch Bridge, is a pair of two bridges, one road and the other rail, connecting the Kerch Peninsula in Crimea to mainland Russia. This episode of Curx Decode examines how well-protected the Kerch Bridge is and why it is symbolically and strategically so important for Russia.

They will target those bridges very soon, within weeks if not days. And they will succeed. The bridges are a strategic target as they're the most-direct path for logistics and supply to the Kherson area Strategic error (arrogance) by Russia: building separate road & train bridges :: if one is hit, all traffic of that type is immediately ceased, whereas if traffic was split and only one bridge was hit, people & cargo still have a transit option

The region around Mariupol needs to be taken as a missile launch site! Ukraine missile have the targeting accuracy to hit the right spot yet the structure needs to be hit with Armour piercing munitions! The best chance to directly take out the bridge is to get a load of munitions to explode under water beside the bridge supports, at multiple bases! Either drifting mines paired on cables or Seal like direct fastening the charges! This is a tough task! An alternate easier task is to hit the rail lines across the rail bridge as Russian trains cross them! Hopefully the derailed bridges can create the HIGH IMPACT explosives can not!
If the first attack doesn't work, the second or third will. Ukranians do not express intent without ability.

I think they could take out the bridge by simply sabotaging a train to derail or explode right on the moving parts of the bridge. Targeting and destroying such a bridge with an air-raid will not be sufficient. I think the car bridge could be best destroyed by parking two HGVs full of fertilzer soaked in diesel fuelright on the moving part of the bridge blowing tem up and simultaniously. We would not want the Bridge to be repairable. This is one of these bad missions, where civilian deaths are unavoidable as civilian traffic is basically used to cover the saboteurs. And alerting the civilians might get the saboteurs into trouble.

6:56 “They will first need to liberate Kherson”. Well, that’s what they’re about to do, with the bridge down!
Why would you use prewar traffic numbers for the bridge?
NATO admitted they made a mistake. They did not react strongly enough in 2014 to the annexation of Crimea. They say this resulted in a war in the middle of Europe. Demilitarization of Crimea is now a top priority and NATO will support Ukraine fully for as long as it takes.

Not reacting strong enough in 2014 was basically the same mistake the west made when Hitler occupied Austria and Sudetenland.

@@gerhardgiedrojc991 What about that Bacha Bazi dump? The only mistake the US ( or the west) made was staying far too long. Should have left immediately after putting down Osama Bin Laden. Seems the women and children were the only ones that wanted freedom. Should have left them with the guns when pulling out instead of the men.
This is a job for ordinary Russian cannon fodder soldiers to line up and all take a cigarette break at the same time, on that bridge. It will be done.
Blow it up… BLOW IT ALL UP!! Glory to Ukraine!! 🇺🇦
Boom. Job done Ukraine.
Ooh ooh, I think I know the answer to this! The answer is "No" 🤣🤣 💙💛
We need to step up the aid. There will never be a better opportunity to drive the orcs completely out of Ukraine. If we don't Russia will rebuild and come back stronger.

Russia will survive without the US and Europe. But Europe without Russian gas, oil, fertilizers, products will live much harder. This is not a mockery, but a fact that your authorities deny in every possible way. Nord Stream was blown up for this, so that Europe would buy gas from the United States for a lot of money. Solving the issues of Ukraine, you completely forgot about yourself.
Russian thank you for making reinforced cardboard standard bridges.. love from Crimea
As it turns out, neither Kherson, Melitopol, nor Mariupol had to be recaptured in order to damage the bridge.
The bridge not doing so well at the moment
This aged like fine milk.
Wow!!!
Now this i would most dezrly love to wztch! It would ve absolutely stunning to wztch at least 2 of the bridges spans knocked out!!.
It would be awesome to have some kamikaze drone submarines, a few air force bombers and a few long range HIMARS all hit the bridges at the same time, right after letting some HARM missiles loose to take out all the air defence radar systems first. Poor rooskies are going to cry for years over the loss of those bridges! Cant wait...it is inevitable.

l would suggest buying an old surplus Frigate or Destroyer , disguising it as a Russian one with a few clever alterations , cram it with tonnes and tonnes of TNT into the bow with detonator on a timer , then sailing up the channel towards the bridge in the dark flying a Russian flag ! A skeleton crew on board just manning the guns and the ship would speed up then ram one of the bridge's large supports . Then after the crew escape the timer detonates the explosive !! l know a lot of countries who would willingly donate an ultra modern brand new Destroyer for this !! The Ukrainian's would accept gladly ! You don't look a Gift Horse in the mouth - as the saying goes !

Leave a golden bridge for the enemy to evacuate if not they will keep fighting until they ran out of ammunition be besiege of Kherson the Russia has placed explosive device on the pillar and under the Antonivskyi Bridge just in case they have to Used scotched earth policy as Russia retreat. They may have retrofitted military grade armor on the crimea bridge and many counter Measure. The best way is to destroy the pillar of the bridge.

@@kaboomwinn4026 nope, "THE GOLDEN BRIDGE" is allowing russia to surrender, russias weakness is there poor logistics. That is where you hit them. Were the russian army motivated by being attacked? But because russia is the invader, and is fighting Id say you might be right. But from the start. Russias armu has suffered from low moral, and lack of motivation. in this case as in khutson, , its a matter of prepping the battlefield.
Hard to believe but apparently was not able to prevent attack during RasPutler 70th birthday 🎉
