Why did the Armed Forces of Ukraine attack the Crimean bridge? On July 17, the Armed Forces of Ukraine attacked one of the pillars of the Kerch bridge using a naval drone. As a result, two people died, a 14-year-old girl was injured. Why are the Armed Forces of Ukraine attacking bridges and will the attack affect the course of the NVO? How did the APU strike? The strike was allegedly carried out using a surface drone. With a high probability, the Armed Forces of Ukraine used several vehicles of different modifications to increase the chances of overcoming the protection of the bridge. Drones weighing up to 1 ton use engines from civilian jet skis. With the help of such or similar kamikaze boats, the Armed Forces of Ukraine repeatedly and unsuccessfully tried to attack the ships of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation in the bay of Sevastopol and after entering the Black Sea. Where could the boats be launched from? To cover the strike, both the fairways of the bulk carriers used as part of the grain deal, and the grain carriers themselves, leaving Odessa as part of the grain deal, could be used. The range of such drones is about 300 km, which complicates their use without a carrier vessel. Suspension of the grain deal until the conditions of the Russian Federation are met may make the use of such drones impossible. How long will the bridge repair take? It took several months to reconstruct the bridge after the first strike in October 2022, but now, taking into account past experience, the road will be restored in September. What are the impact results? The main grouping of Russian troops is supplied through the Rostov hub, which remains out of reach for attacks by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. On the railway part of the bridge, which was not damaged, mainly civilian goods go to Crimea. Thus, a strike on the Crimean Bridge would cause only minor disruptions to civilian supply chains and ruin the vacations of thousands of Russians who would have to change routes to take a ferry or train ticket. In military terms, a strike on the bridge will not help the Armed Forces of Ukraine in any way. ☠️ Subscribe to Military chronicle ? Military chronicle in VK
