Russian special military operation in Ukraine #46

Looks like the attack was carried by navyal drone. Extensive damage under the bridge. Wondering if Russia can construct some kind of floating bypass ...

Artemovsk looks better than some parts of Detroit either

You are ignoring the fundamental difference and scale between the countries.

The problem in the US is that the civilian infrastructure is slowly degrading from the world leading, excellent standard that it was, due by the look of it from lack of investment. As opposed to Russia, where the standards are being raised, often from nothing or the very basic.

Perhaps this is due to US political donations and hence political action being much more lucrative from high profit Pharma and MIC rather than the boring and more understandable heavy civil engineering. So you pissed the money down the drain on pointless wars like Afghanistan whilst say China was spending probably similar amounts on their railway network. With zero evidence that the situations will change.

Well the grain deal is dead, announced already.

And regarding the attack on the crimean bridge I would say any bridge or rail line coming from HATO to Ukraine in the west of the country could be targeted and brought down in response... if Kiev wants to be a terrorist then there should be a penalty, and a suitable penalty is not being able to transfer people and goods from the west into the Ukraine by land while Russia cannot transport things by rail bridge to Crimea.

Otherwise they will keep trying to hit it... so keep hitting bridges and rail lines into the Ukraine till they stop... and if they don't stop well there should be plenty of roads and rail lines to keep hitting...

But mostly long as you not using civis as shields, it's fine to use civi stuff in military operations, Russians themselves have no law banning this in their own forces

But that just means all civilian traffic would need to be blocked to prevent it happening in the future... which is probably why they did it because with the grain deal ending now they wont be able to do it in future with hidden stuff in civilian ships in the grain corridor.

This makes attacks on the bridge much much harder... another reason to end the deal permanently.

The longer the war goes on, the more this will happen

Actually the end of the grain deal makes this much much harder for the orcs to achieve... I think Russia should simply say that the grain deal is dead and that this attack on the bridge means nothing the west does will restart the deal.

Rant all you want because you're bridge got hit due to Russian pussyfooting, makes no difference to me

Is pussy footing the word for the day?

This happened because the Ukraine used the grain shipment corridors to commit a terrorist act... now that corridor is closed so they will struggle to repeat this attack but it clearly shows ending the grain deal is the right thing for Russia... but I think a message needs to be sent too.

Last time they lost power... perhaps now they need to have trouble using rail and road links to the west maybe, but I am sure they will come up with a suitable response... keep in mind they are losing hundreds of men per day on the front line... escalating and hitting HATO targets and indeed government targets and indeed US targets in the Ukraine might be another step they could take... they obviously said they wouldn't hit such targets before but Kiev also promised not to use the grain corridor to attack targets from too... you break your side and we can reciprocate.

Russia doesn't have the balls for WW3, they don't even have the balls to exterminate some shithead nobodies nextdoor

They are not stupid enough to commit suicide, yes, that is true... but considering the state of the US and its economy and culture I can understand why they are pushing to get shot... blue suicide isn't it?

Cute copes, can easily find bridges in bad condition in Russia, but whatever helps you kiddo

Your country is sending billions of dollars to the Ukraine and most of its old obsolete equipment and most of its ammo it had stored around the world too... but no money for healthcare or education or infrastructure...

You have a group of idiot countries in Europe who will do almost anything you tell them, and are sending billions to Kiev too and are emptying their armouries of weapons and ammo, especially old ex Soviet stuff that was reliable and effective and they are going to expect you to replace that round for round and tank for tank and plane for plane with your expensive equivalent so your military MIC is going to be fizzing for the next decade or two, but after seeing your stuff burn in the Ukraine who else will buy it? The ones you make buy it normally of course... but no one else I suspect.

The irony is that right now it is good times... you can print all the money you want... print 1 trillion dollars and spend it on upgrading your entire road and rail network... fix and upgrade or replace all your bridges and tunnels, all your water systems all your sewers all your sewerage treatment plants... everything... because in 10 years that money wont be worth shit and you will be stuck with that infrastructure for the next 50 years... so you better make it nice and solid...

So, note the quantity, now scale this up to how many tens of thousands of CB type munition the US going to ship into the hands of the 'we will be careful using it' Ukrainians.

"Afghan officials say 195,000 people have been left maimed by drone strikes and cluster bomb incidents in Afghanistan during the two decades of war... It's estimated that during the first 3 years of the conflict, the US dropped more than 1,500 cluster bombs in Afghanistan."

Just a reminder of the result of 5 weeks hard work by the UA. Think the words at the top should have been "You are STILL here"

Expecting more from Russia.

Useful picture. Maybe next time the attack on the Intelligence HQ (where is the boss?) in Kiev will be designed to flood it.

I suspect that the days to the total, rather than partial, destruction of that rail bridge SW of Odessa are now numbered. It is an important grain route.

Interesting alternative weapon possibility. If the Russians find the hardware and radio control evidence ...............................................

The attack on the Crimean bridge was allegedly carried out using a British marine underwater autonomous robot REMUS 600 with an additional load of explosives

This was reported by the TG-channel Resident, citing a source in Zelensky's office.

REMUS 600 can move under water at a depth of up to 600 meters. It is controlled from a laptop.

“The launch was carried out from a civilian vessel in the Black Sea, it has a flight duration of about 70 hours at a speed of up to 5 knots. With an increased carrying capacity, it has a range of 286 nautical miles, almost 500 km,” writes the Resident.

Earlier, Maria Zakharova said that American and British intelligence services were involved in planning the attack.






Earlier air traffic, no connection or control

Maybe some north sea oil rigs might start having some problems... the first attack on the crimean bridge killed some people and this one killed some people so killing people appears to be OK with the west...

Plus UAVs appear to be being used to guide terrorist attacks so a no fly zone in the top half of the black sea seems to be in order...
