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.

    In a word: nope!! Ukraine likely has ATACMS already or otherwise will almost surely get them soon, and international law is on their side. 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!

But for now, TACMS is not in UA because of this very silly rule. I am hoping that UA has developed an accurate long-range missile with help and this will change.

    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.
