Dropped span....Impressive!
Make that two dropped spans. Dropped from the same pylon. It is almost as if Ukies have acquired the engineering plans for Kerch. So they know just where to hit it.
Won’t this be the point where the pro-Russia/pro-Putin FreeRepublic crowd note this as a hoax, and the bridge are faked-up by the Ukrainian propaganda folks?
Here’s hoping for very cold winter in the Crimea for Russian conscripts.
Oh wait! There is a war going on. Anyone remember Gen. Schwartzkopf briefing about the luckiest man in Iraq?
With the destruction of the Kerch Bridge, Russia has lost its only rail link to Southern Ukraine. (Not Under Artillery or HIMARS Range)
Another example of Russia winning.
Another example of Russia winning.
Very. According to this article a truck was seen and filmed exploding, so it does appear that was the probable cause.
Only question is how did the saboteurs get out before the explosion??
Did they get the other lane, too?
Also, in before the first “this is a Hollywood production” post, claiming this is from Arnold’s “True Lies”.
I would think it would be extraordinarily difficult to destroy a bridge with a truck bomb.
Looking carefully at this image, there are actually 4 spans significantly damaged or destroyed.
3 spans dropped in one direction, and 1 with very significant structural damage in the other direction.
As well, someone knew when the loaded tanker cars were going to be on the rail bridge.
Looks like a video game.
