Why Ukraine Will Not Take Down Kerch Bridge……….. Yet
Oleksiy Danilov, the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, has already said this publicly about the Kerch Bridge in the context of Ukraine’s strategic interests. He stated that the bridge’s presence, while significant, was actually advantageous for Ukrainian forces.
The bridge, being important to Putin, requires Russian air defenses in Crimea to protect it. This, in turn, makes it easier for Ukrainian forces to destroy these defenses when drawn out and dragged into Crimea.
This is the bigger picture.
We want clear skies for F-16’s. Taking the bridge down is one thing, but depleting all Russian air defenses so they are unable to protect the front lines, oil refineries, their airspace against F-16’s, their borders, Russian mainland and their naval fleet, now that’s priceless.
“The (Kerch) bridge, being important to Putin, requires Russian air defenses in Crimea to protect it. This, in turn, makes it easier for Ukrainian forces to destroy these defenses”
Interesting point.
