I would love to see Ukraine trolling Russia with this.
Detonate an underwater charge that weakens one of the bridge supports. Wait while the Russians react, examine the bridge, etc.
A dozen or so hours later detonate another hidden underwater charge on another support a few hundred yards away.
Repeat the process after random delays until so many supports are weakened that the bridge collapses under its own weight.
I would 100% bank on the Russians being mind bogglingly sloppy and do exactly that. If you break the bridge completely the Russian forces could switch to the more costly air transport. But the uncertainty with the bridge might fool them long enough to become a timeless meme itself.
It might not be a spectacular explosion, but the fact thae sbu was able to put over 1000kg of explosives there is no small feat.
Whose Crimean bridge?
Run’s Crimean Bridge
Looks somewhat underwhelming but on the other hand I am no demolition expert or structural engineer.
Probably not suitable for tanks or heavy supply convoys anymore.
Kind of makes me hope for a delayed reaction like the dam explosion in the movie Force 10 From Navarone.
Do you mean this one?
No. The sequel to that one.
How did I have no idea Harrison Ford was in that?!
If I had a nickel for every time…
I’m a little confused. The article says it was detonated at 4:44am. The video seems like it’s fairly bright out. Is that just a good low light camera? Or is this a timezones thing maybe?
That’s about sunrise time there right now https://www.timeanddate.com/astronomy/ukraine/kerch
I hope the fucking Muscovites used cheap porous rebar and brittle concrete.
