Russian special military operation in Ukraine #27

Yes, a good decent spanking of infrastructure is a measured response.

The problem with trying to counter it if it was a bridge bombing is that the attacker only has to get it right 1% of the time, whilst the defender has to do so 100% of the time. Not impossible though, a bit back you have trucks pass through xray scanners etc. Not foolproof of course but a decent mitigation method.
If it was supports and I've no idea what it was, fulltime frogman patrols can be a decent counter.

The truck exploded at the fuel train depot, they synchronized it.

Looking at some of the footage now on Tel it does indeed look like a truck bombing. Begs the question has the Ukraine turned to suicide bombings now?
Or did they plant the explosives and have some bugger unknowingly drive it across and detonated remotely by a following car?

lolol our local Ukrainian shills called this an atacms strike. **** off doomers. Go to Ukraine and wave some rainbow flags. Surely if you are so angry you can go lick neocon boots over in Ukraine.

Someone help me re timing. Earlier footage showed day light approaching evening, footage of bombing look like night time or is that CCTV trick of light? Though it looks like an elevated part of the bridge where the explosion occurs where the pics of damages are quite low lying? Not sure if it's Tel running amok with unrelated footage...not for the first time.
Doesn't take away from the event of course and the fact that may have either used a suicide bomber or murdered some civilian in a very callous manner.

Russia has so little deterrence that they (one of Zelensky's advisors) are literally telling you that yes, it was them who crossed your red lines.

Incoming cope about how it's a plan to bait Putin into making emotion-based decisions. No, it's much simpler than that and can be explained by observing a simple kindergarten for 30 minutes. It's pure power play and Ukraine's brazen behaviour reflects a (perceived?) tipping point in the power dynamics.

Yes, a power play by a nation propped up by western hegemons, with an army of hundreds of thousands bordering it. Please no more gay posts.

According to his logic, Moscow is already occupied... If "power dynamics" are at stake, why don't they attack Russia from Sumy, Chernigov and Kharkov ?

So you're of the belief that Russia is being beaten back by the Ukraine for real and really is out of manpower, equipment and whatever else?

Relax

First, the U.S blew up Nord Stream pipeline and blamed Russia for this crime. Now the U.S is ratcheting up the nuclear attack threat.

Quite possible that the U.S will nuke a major European city and shift the blame to Russia.

This is meaningless shadowboxing.

Nobody is scared of Russia anymore, and the fake DGAF/damage control posts by dimwits like yours truly prove it.

Tough guy talk follows tough guy action - it's rather easy to sniff out fakers babbling about red lines but never following up on the threats.

What did I say about psychiatric wards the other day? Man it's a hard landing. Especially when you've structured your whole (online) identity around the imaginary greatness of some state halfway across the globe.

Seems to me that you'll have to get your own hands dirty - or maybe the coming Midterms will provide solace..

LOL.

If it wasn't ATACMS, then perhaps a controlled remote explosion or driverless truck full of explosives.

Good Lord...

They actually destroyed the Kerch Strait Bridge entirely.

Don't you know? This was all according to plan.

It's war, it happens

They've been trying to destroy it for half a year, they finally succeeded

And yes it looks like a missile strike and the type that the US publicly declared that it won't supply the Ukraine with just 2 days ago. Because no way a drone can do such damage. Nor a HIMARS as we've seen, even if one was in range.
Their arrogance is such that they publicly and unconvincingly deny in public and do the opposite in practice, no matter how unbelievable. As with the sabotage of Nord Stream, now with the sabotage of the bridge.

As this is a new weapon type, it will take a little time before it can be analysed and countered, as the TB2 and HIMARS were.

Big_Gazza wrote:Those bridge sections were taken down precisely, not as a result of any general blast damage.  Planted explosives on key structural items.

I smell the same kind of US/NATO influences as hit NS1 & NS2.

The Empire really is panicking.

Ball is now in Russias court.  Are they ready to move? I don't want them to act prematurely until the strike forces are ready to go, but this shit needs to be answered.  Taking down Kievs civilian infrastucture would be a proper response.

If it was planted explosives then why is the train on fire on the other bridge?

Looks like the missile hit one and clipped the other

But I do agree the damage on the automobile bridge looks rather clean

Naturally. That is what terrorist do. They will always claim responsibility. With an act like this Ukraine will only hasten their demise. They will dissolve to nothing. Soon you won't find them on any map.

This is what I want to hear from the Kremlin backed up by action.

Seems to be that the hands of Kremlin occupants have gotten a little soft over the last 20 years. We will find out soon whether they have what it takes, I personally am very skeptical

What the hell are you all talking about?

It was a truck explosion, and the detonation was timed to be near the fuel train (makes sense for max damage, right?).

The shrapnel hit a fuel car, but thankfully it didn't look like it did much.

Did you see the civilian car right by the truck? RIP.

Russia knows how to deal with terrorist. The weekend has only started. Some people in Kiev are not going to have a great weekend.

The Bridge: Well the damage is done but it is still superficial and fortunately did not damage the arches. The collapsed span can be fixed fairly quickly. I just hope they can contain the fire on the railway line.

Yep, and then they release false statements about 'fires' which becomes more ridiculous.

Though the focus has to be now that Ukraine has ATACMS.

Why not just declare the obvious, US supplied ATACMS used to target Crimea bridge. Perhaps this will enrage the Russian population and increase the support for TOTAL WAR against NATzO

Exactly what they should do

If it was a missile, there would be debris of it and proof. We got videos of a massive explosion from a truck.

Fuсk it

Spread some missile debris around, hold them accountable anyway, and use it as a way to motivate the Russian population

Well, now half of the forum members want nuclear war - luckily you don't have access to a suitcase with buttons..
