To do supplies with 1 truck alone still does have some bonuses : considearbly lesser risk to be spotted by informants, sattelites and drones rather than small size column not alone medium size column....

I didn’t know they celebrated with the remnants of the plane that had almost 300 innocent people on it. One dumbass throwing up the peace sign WTF.Nine years ago.
Btw some reality for Zelensky...
Yeah, car provided for him to use really was 15 year old
and then price for this was >12 m USD$.
Car mileage lesser than 600 miles and if U.S didn't had managed to get car for Biden then exactly this stuff had been used by Biden for use in Vilnius.
Maybe some street in Kiev should re think about their reality and laziness.

First time I've seen those first two photos, sickening. It would seem that the rumours Putin ordered it on purpose and bragged to Xi he'd do it too are pretty likely.Nine years ago.

Couldn’t have happened to a better bridge..
BTW despite I support NATO if I was Zelensky I had sent U.S and western comrades to piss off. After these pussies removed all warships from Black Sea as clear sign for Russia as allowance to invade. And after this comrades from Russia had invaded. Plandemic No 2.
Piss off and 0 time to talk with idiotic traitors.

Didn't had did homework during 30 years and now will demand stuff etc and $ etc....<45>.

The bridge to Crimea is crucial to Russia's war effort in Ukraine and to asserting Moscow's control
The bridge connecting Crimea and Russia carries heavy significance for Moscow, both logistically and psychologically, as a key artery for military and civilian supplies and as an assertion of Kremlin control of the peninsula it illegally annexed in 2014
The bridge connecting Crimea and Russia carries heavy significance for Moscow, both logistically and psychologically, as a key artery for military and civilian supplies and as an assertion of Kremlin control of the peninsula it illegally annexed in 2014.
An attack on the bridge before dawn Monday, killing a couple and seriously injuring their daughter, left a span of the roadway hanging perilously. The damage initially appeared to be less severe than what was caused by an assault in October, but it highlighted the bridge’s vulnerability.
Russia blamed Ukraine for both attacks. A spokesman for the Ukrainian Security Service on Monday did not directly acknowledge responsibility but said the service would reveal details about organizing the blast once Ukraine achieves victory in the war.
A CRITICAL CONNECTION
The Crimean Peninsula extends south from Ukraine’s mainland, with road connections on two isthmuses, one of which is less than 2 kilometers (1 mile) wide, and by a bridge from a narrow spit. Those links to Ukraine go into territory occupied by Russian forces that come under attack from the Ukrainian military.
The bridge, which connects Crimea’s eastern extremity with Russia’s Krasnodar region, provides the only fixed link that steers clear of the disputed territory.
The 19-kilometer (12-mile) bridge over the Kerch Strait that links the Black and Azov seas carries road and rail traffic on separate sections and is vital to sustaining Russia’s military operations in southern Ukraine.
A SYMBOLIC STRUCTURE
The bridge is the longest in Europe and a subject of considerable pride in Russia. Construction began in 2016, about two years after Russia's annexation, and was completed in little more than two years. The pace of construction was impressive but led some critics to question whether it was hastily designed and built.
The bridge was constructed despite strong objections from Ukraine and is the most visible and constant reminder of Russia’s claim over Crimea.
President Vladimir Putin drove across the bridge at its formal opening. Putin is also closely connected to construction tycoon Arkady Rotenberg, whose company got the $3.5 billion contract for the bridge.
CONSEQUENCES OF THE ATTACK
Rail traffic on the bridge reportedly was restored within a few hours Monday but it was unclear when full road service could be restored. Ferries were being organized to try to ease the burden, but it was not immediately clear whether the vessels could accommodate demand. Crimea’s beaches and mountains are popular with summer tourists.
Russian authorities advised people who wanted to leave Crimea quickly to go via Russian-controlled territory in Ukraine. That would add up to 600 kilometers (350 miles) to their journey and likely raise their anxiety about going through insecure areas.
Russian officials denounced Monday’s attack but did not immediately specify retaliatory measures, although Russia has responded with cruise missiles and drone barrages to other Ukrainian attacks.

Supposedly it's quite a distance from the border inside Russia, so they probably figured it was safe

Getting rid of the VDV commander wasn't a smart move by Pres. Putin and Russian troop morale is in the toilet.
