Russian special military operation in Ukraine #28

Charly015 says they are due to strikes from Shahed 136 (Geranium 2) UAVs.

BTW notice the snow swirling around the camera?  Winter is coming...  and it will bring the Storm.

That cannot be snow. I have seen the same swirling particle effect in summer footage. It is some sort of dust and the camera is
really picking up on it since it is not zooming. But you are right, the winter will bring a major Russian offensive. By then the
Ukr army will have been hollowed out to a critical point. The Kiev regime is apparently throwing its forces from Odessa, the Kiev
region and other parts. The Russian strategy of absorbing the attacks while burning through Ukr cannon fodder is brilliant.
Gonzalo Lira makes a point that all the chicken little hysterics fail to grasp: an army loses when it no longer has the manpower and
equipment to put up enough resistance to enemy attacks. This critical depletion level is being quickly approached by the Kiev
regime and the regime will be hit with a Russian attack at this worst possible time. I expect Russia to roll barely opposed all the
way to the far western Ukr heartland around Lviv. I think Russia will pause there since this will be the last, last stand of the
Ukr ethno-fascists. That is their heartland.

But I have seen analysis where it is predicted that the ethno-fascists will not put up with much of a fight. They can't hide
behind untermenschen human shields like they do in the south and east.

That truck was only probably intentional "collateral damage."


In addition to that a cargo train was also partially destroyed in the explosion.


The explosion was probably intentionally timed with the above-mentioned cargo train passing at this point on the bridge to maximize the damage.

Don't think so. An exploding UUV would result in an obvious wake/wave but the sea surface is flat and undisturbed post explosion.

Looks like a civilian passenger car, besides the civilian truck, was also destroyed.

Looks like some Russian civilians died as a result of this attack, will the Western mass media mention it?




Seaborne, does not automatically mean underwater, see the video in the link I first posted.

There was clearly something moving in the water under the bridge at the moment of the explosion.

MAXAR released some satellite images of the Crimean bridge.


Did the truck come from the Crimea side? The pressure must have gone down to trigger a wave movement.
The bridge could not have hit a lake attack at this point. The bridge has the damage far above the water.
A rocket would also have damaged driving.
But it doesn't.

You're right

Late september a drone already washed ashore near Sevastopol. Likely they used one or two of these fitted with explosives, and the truck was just a way to blame the Russians for an inside job, suposedly due to internal problems (sounds like something a cokehead would think up at 5 in the morning waiting for his fix).

Russia is getting absolutely dickslapped and what's their response? Organizing investigation committee (as if this is some big mystery)


Ukraine has shitload of electric power plants, heating plants, bridges, tunnels and God knows what else all just sitting there waiting for the press of a button to disappear and still nothing even now

Ukraine and West figured out that Russians will be pussyfooting and will take it all up the ass like a good boys until the very end and are taking full advantage of that insight (not that it's rocket science)


I said when this started, if Russia allows some apes to blow up that bridge it means that Russia didn't deserve to have that bridge in the first place

I dont doubt that Russia will completely decapitate Kiev eventually. They have no choice.

They could have decapitated Kiev on February 24, the war should have been over on February 25.

But instead, they chose to be a laughing stock for the entire world through this SMO shit.

Explosion that size would indicate the drone to be extremely massive, which is why I don't believe that narrative.  Possible but I doubt it.  The explosion was surface level too.

The bridge is well protected by radar systems and AD systems, and these systems that were used by Russians in Syria.

As I said earlier, a warhead on a short range BM doesn't do that kind of explosion.  A drone big enough to do that would have to be massive. If it's flying, it would light up on radar like a Christmas tree. If it was seaborne, it wouldn't make much sense of the surface damage.

As evident of Ukraines constant use of terrorism, I'm unsure why some of you have a hard time coming to terms that they would continue to use terrorism?

If that were the case that portion of the bridge would have been obliterated, instead some solid sections of the bridge were simply knocked off.

It was a seaborne drone, and the video evidence confirms it.


Explosive materials these days can be extremely powerful.

That looks like a patrol boat. The effect must have been directed upwards. Someone must have trained this. That was not an easy number. The SBU is not capable of this. He may have bribed whoever but such attacks can only be the CIA or MI6 on the NATO side. Maybe the French may not be so crazy to do it. It wasn't a sea drohne.

As a response, continue seizing fast territories. Push towards Odessa. Let's follow Yanquiland's reaction to Kiev's increasing reliance on terrorism.

That wake under the bridge looks suspicious but the video is not clear enough

Could be a wave or whatever

Regardless if it is a sea-borne drone, that's a direct attack of NATO on Russian infrastructure. And given Nord Stream, it wouldn't be the first time. They are becoming more bold and it is grounds for retaliation. What is the difference between a remote sea-borne drone and a missile?

No chance, that's not a wave. This is a keel with a keel wave and about 1m at least over water.

How many hours ago was the attack now? Maybe they are just going to get ready for the winter offensive and do nothing. Which is not advisable. Paul Craig Roberts is right about this. If there's no retaliation, it only means that the next attack will be sooner.

I have not watched any of the videos of the attack. I am enraged enough. Many Russians probably have the same reaction. Leadership did react when the population was enraged about the Kharkov pullback. I think we need a counter attack now. And its a mistake if we don't get one in the next 12 hours

Of course PCR wrote a piece about this already

Why Does the Kremlin Encourage Ukrainian Terrorist Acts Against Russia?

Paul Craig Roberts

Why Does the Kremlin Keep On Complaining About Ukrainian Terrorism?

Does the Kremlin think the West cares?

How could the West possibly care about Kiev’s terrorism when the West itself engages in terrorist acts, such as blowing up the Nord Stream pipelines?

Would Ukraine have tried to destroy the Crimea Bridge if they thought there would be any retaliation from Russia against, for example, the infrastructure and communications of Kiev and Lviv?

The Kremlin has made it clear that it accepts provocations and does not retaliate. As terrorism is costless to Ukraine and the West, Russia can expect more terrorism. The Kremlin’s practice of always turning the other cheek is going to result in Armageddon.

The Kremlin is making a disastrous mistake.

This is 100 % a wave! In the video you can still see waves after the explosion and behind the bridge.

Explosives were in the truck. The explosion did structural damage to one lane and additional the lane "jumped" from the pillars. The structure of the lane is not rigid connected with the pillars and just lays on top of the pillars....fixed by its own weight.

If explosives were under the lane the explosion cloud would be different by the way...in contrast to what we see in videos.

What's strange about truck version? It makes perfect sense and it's clearly what happened

Load explosives on the truck, drive a truck on the bridge, once train is next to it press the button

Easiest thing in the world

Russians​ even installed all those nice surveillance cameras to film the big boom in all it's glory

I mean, the first CCTV footage. It looked like explosion came underneath the bridge, but then again newly released pictures shower no damage to below structures.

Now, loading the truck with explosives… how the **** did they get them there in the first place. I hope investigation will lead to some answers as Ukrainians are about to go IRA on Russians.

The image quality is not enough to judge whether it's a keel or just the trough behind the wave.
Right at the last second there is also a bit of a wake coming to the other pillar further behind, which made me think that it was a wave. Although of course if it was a sea-drone, then the wake would ripple out from it and approach the adjacent pillar as well. And the fact that the wavefront appears most advanced between the pillars where the explosion was closest to is also suspicious.

Jury is still out.

All the best buddy. You were a pillar of light in a never ending dust storm of sheeple, paid shills and dimwits on this board. And as you can see your quintessential quips have spread far and beyond.

You were the only person worthwhile visiting this forum for, a feat which has made me save some of the better posts you made throughout the last ~12 months. And many thanks for the elaborate responses you always sent in the many PM discussions we had. It was and is very much appreciated.

Hasta luego parcero.

As no one listens to his economic diatribes anymore, Craig Roberts has become an agent provocateur as of late.
On a parallel but related topic, Yanquiland has recently waived the nuclear threat as a means for VVP throwing Uncle Joe a lifeline for the upcoming midterms & 2024 wrt START talks.

You could be seeing a Rosgvardia fast patrol craft. They have some there 24/7 of which at least 15 are larger then 10 tonnes.
