Exactly right. Why anyone would jump to “cancer patient suicide bomber” is beyond me. Why go to all that trouble? It’s stupid.
I’d have used 2 four man teams. 2 trucks and 2 get away cars. Pack the trucks full of Kaboom, park them at separate points on the bridge, stop in the middle, and take off in the cars.
Timer or remote detonation and, voilà, Crimea is now cut off from both sides. Bonus points if you can take out the rail line, which they may have done.

The problem with the truck theory is there’s no hole in the tarmac. You can’t collapse a road bridge like that from a topside explosion.
The pillars were taken out, from the underside.
I believe there are guard shacks on either end of the bridge, so I would think they’d have to jump/climb/repel off, somewhere.
Might not be here, might be much closer to shore, but somewhere.
It is all looking good today for Ukraine guerilla fighters.
