In a word: nope!! Ukraine likely has ATACMS already or otherwise will almost surely get them soon, and international law is on their side. They will target those bridges very soon, within weeks if not days. And they will succeed. The bridges are a strategic target as they're the most-direct path for logistics and supply to the Kherson area Strategic error (arrogance) by Russia: building separate road & train bridges :: if one is hit, all traffic of that type is immediately ceased, whereas if traffic was split and only one bridge was hit, people & cargo still have a transit option
about 15 Harpoons!!!!! and 4 himars that would have to be somewhat expendable (if that's even possible) out on ships. Harpoons aim for the pylons and the himars off ships or off land with atacms hit the same area from above
UA does NOT have ATACMS. They aren't going to get them any time soon. They will get F16's before they get ATACMS. There are only two main railroad bridges off Crimea and two main motor bridges, Two of the northern bridges were destroyed and I bet the other two are down soon, too.

Ukraine obviously has a plan for when they will destroy that bridge. Strategically it makes sense to create a situation where Russia brings in much more heavy arms and then destroy the bridge so these assets are trapped and cannot retreat or be redeployed!
You are going laugh, this war presents a once in a lifetime opportunity to destroy Russia and reduce its power considerable. Maybe the United States wants to trap the heavy equipment then destroy. It would sort of work out in the favor of the USA. Maybe the B-52 could smash it with cruise missions. Russia cannot stop it. A terrible beating is impending. They know it.
Wise words of an idiot 1. Russia controls herson region and has land access to Crimea 2. Heavy arms could be transported by ship. There is a huge port on Crimea what is actually the true reason taking Crimea back to Russia.
I think main means of supply there would be via water, unlike Dnipro it’s proper body of water so it can take big tankers. Losing road there does not means as much as losing land connection to Kherson.
The region around Mariupol needs to be taken as a missile launch site! Ukraine missile have the targeting accuracy to hit the right spot yet the structure needs to be hit with Armour piercing munitions! The best chance to directly take out the bridge is to get a load of munitions to explode under water beside the bridge supports, at multiple bases! Either drifting mines paired on cables or Seal like direct fastening the charges! This is a tough task! An alternate easier task is to hit the rail lines across the rail bridge as Russian trains cross them! Hopefully the derailed bridges can create the HIGH IMPACT explosives can not!
Only problem is this is farther east than any of the airbases, possibly out of range of HIMARS. They would need to take back Kherson in order for it to be back in range

I notice everyone is focused on the span. The bridge is as you stated, 11 miles long. To accomplish the goal of russia resupplying AL that needs to be done is create gaps in RR tracks and roadway. It doesn't even have to be long term repair damage. Just enough to require russia to spread its defenses along a longer line making the span more vulnerable. The Objectives is to stop the supply. That's an easier task to accomplish. Ukrainians are brilliant tactical battle planners. The bridge will cease to function before too much longer.

Glory to the Heros of the Azovstal Battalion! Never Forget the Olenvivka Massacre! Glory to the Defenders of Ukraine 🇺🇦! Glory to Beautiful Ukraine 🇺🇦! Glory to the Heros of Ukraine 🇺🇦!
Because the Ukrainians are such brilliant tactical planners, they keep on wasting troops at points where it doesn´t matter, instead of places where they are needed. Recently they took a village in the south of Donbas, while their defense lines in the east come under increasing pressure and the much hailed Kherson offensive died in its tracks and is about to turn into a retreat. You do know that anti-air and anti-missile systems have a certain range and thus don´t need to be clumped up in high numbers, don´t you? Furthermore, even the ATACMS that the US might deliver are not able to hit moving targets like trains. Getting a bomb into a military supply train that originated from deep within Russian territory is even harder. You seem to fudge the likelyhood of events in your favour to keep your dreams alive. But even in the event that Kiev could pull off a meaningful attack on the Kerch bridge, Moscow has already vowed massive retaliation. It wouldn´t be pretty.
@@antyspi4466 The Ukranians are such terrible tactical planners, that is why the mighty Russian Forces are making huge progress after 6 Months. Give it up Bot.
I think by blowing up the railway system of the bridge would send a message to the Orcs living in occupied Crimea. Many would probably leave to the mainland and spread the word
The problem is the Crimean population is overwhelmingly ethnic Russian 1.5 million Russian vs 350000 Ukranians. Its historically Russian anyway so they simply took back what rightfully was theirs . Ukraine only had in from 1953 to 2014.
The US Military has 115 PRsM for the HIMARS. 500km range but not yet fully operational. The 115 is for live fire testing. Where better to send them to be tested? Give Ukraine some. Edit: PrsM goes into full production 2023.
Those missles are awesome...Controllable area of affect depending on when submunitions are deployed. They are also a maneuvering missle. It avoids incoming anti aircraft missles. Just a half a dozen could be very useful. Slava Ukraine.
NATO admitted they made a mistake. They did not react strongly enough in 2014 to the annexation of Crimea. They say this resulted in a war in the middle of Europe. Demilitarization of Crimea is now a top priority and NATO will support Ukraine fully for as long as it takes.
@@gerhardgiedrojc991 What about that Bacha Bazi dump? The only mistake the US ( or the west) made was staying far too long. Should have left immediately after putting down Osama Bin Laden. Seems the women and children were the only ones that wanted freedom. Should have left them with the guns when pulling out instead of the men.
Do not underestimate the ability of the Ukranian military. You analysts do have authoritative information of what Ukraine has in her military inventories. You'll be presenting a different narrative once that bridge has been successfully blown up. You guys hyped up the ability of the Russian army before the war, while dismissing the ability of the Ukrainian military to defend their country. Now you still nurse some doubts! That bridge will be blown up at a time, and points the Ukranian military chooses.
What a total knobend! "ability of the Ukrainian military to defend their country" are you serious! they have folded quicker than than an accordian, giving up their most valuable mineral and industrial land!
Ukraine won the war already? How many territories have claimed back? The media is exaggerating Ukraine ability to defend, hence they lost 20% of territories
@@tombelshe support peace is good, but support Ukraine and west blindly is just stupid. Please understand the western objective clearly, things are not so simple as you thought, this is not a movie of good guy fighting bad guy. If you still thinking so, then you better go back to school kid
6:43 HIMARS have NOT struck inside Russian territory, but inside Ukrainian territory occupied by Russia. In fact, the U.S. agreement with Ukraine is that HIMARS must not be used against targets in Russia. I don't feel this is a reasonable constraint myself.
The Kerch bridge terminates within Ukraine territory, so the bridge would be fair game. But HIMARS cannot do anything against thus bridge. People do not realize how big and strong this bridge is.
@Chester, I agree that any site in Russia directly contributing to the war, such as airbases, railroad staging yards, any storage deport, etc. should be on the target list. It's amazing that NATO quietly accepted that it's okay to blow up UA, but RU gets a free pass. I am hoping this changes as UA gets closer to the border. But for now, TACMS is not in UA because of this very silly rule. I am hoping that UA has developed an accurate long-range missile with help and this will change.
Chester, I Agree, He Keeps saying Russian Territory,,, what an Idiot ! For now Ukraine could just keep hitting the Train Tracks coming off the Bridge, and into Crimea. Keep bombing it there along with the Auto part of the Bridge. That is the weak point.
The railway section carries less risk as compared to the road. That is probably already mapped by Ukraine. Dropping something in the vicinity of it will already put people off from crossing it. Antonovsky bridge had the same concerns.
I think they could take out the bridge by simply sabotaging a train to derail or explode right on the moving parts of the bridge. Targeting and destroying such a bridge with an air-raid will not be sufficient. I think the car bridge could be best destroyed by parking two HGVs full of fertilzer soaked in diesel fuelright on the moving part of the bridge blowing tem up and simultaniously. We would not want the Bridge to be repairable. This is one of these bad missions, where civilian deaths are unavoidable as civilian traffic is basically used to cover the saboteurs. And alerting the civilians might get the saboteurs into trouble.
The Kerch Bridges are legitimate military targets. Ukraine has given adequate warning and civilians can choose not to use them. Russian civilians are not compelled to travel to Ukraine (Crimea) - they understand by now that this country does not welcome them.
@@TremereTT as to be an overnight mission less people around , I wonder where those people travel too ? What they used before this bridge was build ? And why they have to enter in Ukraine city In the middle of a war ? Puzzle more puzzle Bridge have very strong steel frame to hold road traffic and train tough

This bridge could be destroyed by a smoker or perhaps record breaking temperatures, but I guess missiles will end it, Putin forces can not prevent it, even using human shields, Ukraine will wait for the right moment, probably when it sees munitions crossing it,

Useless hiding the bridge with smoke screens or blinding enemy radar with reflective material on barges when anything used to target these bridges will use military GPS.
GPS because laser and radar guided is obscured. Anything big enough to have range, payload and navigation is protected against easily. 200 miles is out of himars range and drones and satellites are less able to guide if they can't see or are jammed.

You don’t have to destroy the bridge, you just need to able to constantly hit what’s on top of it. It has the same effect and Russia’s air defense system so far seems to be lagging.

Sun Tzu: "There are roads which must not be followed, armies which must not be attacked, towns which must not be besieged, positions which must not be contested, commands of the sovereign which must not be obeyed.”
Leave a golden bridge for the enemy to evacuate if not they will keep fighting until they ran out of ammunition be besiege of Kherson the Russia has placed explosive device on the pillar and under the Antonivskyi Bridge just in case they have to Used scotched earth policy as Russia retreat. They may have retrofitted military grade armor on the crimea bridge and many counter Measure. The best way is to destroy the pillar of the bridge.
@@kaboomwinn4026 nope, "THE GOLDEN BRIDGE" is allowing russia to surrender, russias weakness is there poor logistics. That is where you hit them. Were the russian army motivated by being attacked? But because russia is the invader, and is fighting Id say you might be right. But from the start. Russias armu has suffered from low moral, and lack of motivation. in this case as in khutson, , its a matter of prepping the battlefield.
We need to step up the aid. There will never be a better opportunity to drive the orcs completely out of Ukraine. If we don't Russia will rebuild and come back stronger.
Russia will survive without the US and Europe. But Europe without Russian gas, oil, fertilizers, products will live much harder. This is not a mockery, but a fact that your authorities deny in every possible way. Nord Stream was blown up for this, so that Europe would buy gas from the United States for a lot of money. Solving the issues of Ukraine, you completely forgot about yourself.
Destroying the bridge, even only part of it, is a symbolic act. Russia built it to connect the peninsula to Russia and thereby making it part of Russia, and destroying it will sever that idea as well as the bridge. Russia will have no means of providing weapons and soldiers into southern Ukraine and their effectiveness there will decline rapidly leaving access only through the Donbas region. Ukraine can at least shore that area up.
Destroying the bridge is in the plan. Once Kherson is liberated the bridge will be destroyed once the winter sets in. The annexation of Crimea and the building of this bridge at the time had a sense of permanence but it's destruction will shatter that illusion and have major implications back in Russia particularly as it is a story that cannot be covered up. With Russian supplies only able to come through the mainland strip Crimea could capitulate without a fight if they can use the himar's through the winter to slowly destroy Russian military infrastructure. Then I would think the war will end as the Russian army walks away and Putin finally falls. Fingers crossed.
I hope by the one year anniversary the USA and Europe and Ukraine with have neutralized 100,000 Russians. We are at 50,000 now. With the new offensive we could be talking 125 -150. I hope so. They have been terrible.
All this would not have happened if nato had had the same response as they gave in 2022 I personally never took much notice of this in 2014. how ever was this because it was not big news? But in 2022 I think the EU and NATO owe a lot to Ukraine, Slava Ukraine I personally will make a point of going to Ukraine and supporting Ukraine.
I would suggest that the Russians use their soldiers as human shields on the bridge. They will be just as good there as they are fighting Ukrainians!! Same result.
@@ronthered138 Russia is not committing atrocity, when you Gayski placed his missiles in residential areas, put his soldiers on residential buildings and hospital buildings, Russia have no other option to target those buildings. Gayski is a war criminal supporter by Fascist European war criminals. If Russia had intention to Baghdad Kiev no country would date to stop her.
It would be awesome to have some kamikaze drone submarines, a few air force bombers and a few long range HIMARS all hit the bridges at the same time, right after letting some HARM missiles loose to take out all the air defence radar systems first. Poor rooskies are going to cry for years over the loss of those bridges! Cant wait...it is inevitable.
l would suggest buying an old surplus Frigate or Destroyer , disguising it as a Russian one with a few clever alterations , cram it with tonnes and tonnes of TNT into the bow with detonator on a timer , then sailing up the channel towards the bridge in the dark flying a Russian flag ! A skeleton crew on board just manning the guns and the ship would speed up then ram one of the bridge's large supports . Then after the crew escape the timer detonates the explosive !! l know a lot of countries who would willingly donate an ultra modern brand new Destroyer for this !! The Ukrainian's would accept gladly ! You don't look a Gift Horse in the mouth - as the saying goes !

Recently they took a village in the south of Donbas, while their defense lines in the east come under increasing pressure and the much hailed Kherson offensive died in its tracks and is about to turn into a retreat.
You do know that anti-air and anti-missile systems have a certain range and thus don´t need to be clumped up in high numbers, don´t you? Furthermore, even the ATACMS that the US might deliver are not able to hit moving targets like trains. Getting a bomb into a military supply train that originated from deep within Russian territory is even harder. You seem to fudge the likelyhood of events in your favour to keep your dreams alive.
But even in the event that Kiev could pull off a meaningful attack on the Kerch bridge, Moscow has already vowed massive retaliation. It wouldn´t be pretty.
@@antyspi4466 The Ukranians are such terrible tactical planners, that is why the mighty Russian Forces are making huge progress after 6 Months. Give it up Bot.

Looks like you got your answer.
Cant wait to see it fall.. any day now i reckon.

"No" is the answer.
I think by blowing up the railway system of the bridge would send a message to the Orcs living in occupied Crimea. Many would probably leave to the mainland and spread the word
You are right. We are about to see genuine terror on the face Russian solders and citizens.
The problem is the Crimean population is overwhelmingly ethnic Russian 1.5 million Russian vs 350000 Ukranians. Its historically Russian anyway so they simply took back what rightfully was theirs . Ukraine only had in from 1953 to 2014.

The US Military has 115 PRsM for the HIMARS.
500km range but not yet fully operational.
The 115 is for live fire testing.
Where better to send them to be tested?
Give Ukraine some.
Edit: PrsM goes into full production 2023.
Those missles are awesome...Controllable area of affect depending on when submunitions are deployed. They are also a maneuvering missle. It avoids incoming anti aircraft missles.
Just a half a dozen could be very useful.
Slava Ukraine.

@@henrikcarmel1 They already haven't shot down any of the GLMRS, ERGLMRS or the ATACMS.

NATO admitted they made a mistake. They did not react strongly enough in 2014 to the annexation of Crimea. They say this resulted in a war in the middle of Europe. Demilitarization of Crimea is now a top priority and NATO will support Ukraine fully for as long as it takes.
But could be the first Nug of Kiev....... !
Not reacting strong enough in 2014 was basically the same mistake the west made when Hitler occupied Austria and Sudetenland.
Want to bet. Afghanistan anyone.

Well they just proved they did!
Russia will only cry when that bridge is taken out.
Well you will know as you have been crying like a child for 6 months now eh!
big russian tears for kerch.....and the rest of the world, tears of joy when russia loses!
Excellent reporting. Appreciate your reporting and in English. God Bless you.
Do not underestimate the ability of the Ukranian military. You analysts do have authoritative information of what Ukraine has in her military inventories. You'll be presenting a different narrative once that bridge has been successfully blown up. You guys hyped up the ability of the Russian army before the war, while dismissing the ability of the Ukrainian military to defend their country. Now you still nurse some doubts! That bridge will be blown up at a time, and points the Ukranian military chooses.
What a total knobend! "ability of the Ukrainian military to defend their country" are you serious! they have folded quicker than than an accordian, giving up their most valuable mineral and industrial land!
Ukraine won the war already? How many territories have claimed back? The media is exaggerating Ukraine ability to defend, hence they lost 20% of territories
@@lianlol7 whatever bot!
@@tombelshe support peace is good, but support Ukraine and west blindly is just stupid. Please understand the western objective clearly, things are not so simple as you thought, this is not a movie of good guy fighting bad guy. If you still thinking so, then you better go back to school kid
Sounds like Russian Peace…no thanks.
6:43 HIMARS have NOT struck inside Russian territory, but inside Ukrainian territory occupied by Russia. In fact, the U.S. agreement with Ukraine is that HIMARS must not be used against targets in Russia. I don't feel this is a reasonable constraint myself.
Crimea is Ukrainian territory. There is no limitation on using weapons to destroy the Kerch bridge.
The Kerch bridge terminates within Ukraine territory, so the bridge would be fair game. But HIMARS cannot do anything against thus bridge. People do not realize how big and strong this bridge is.
@Chester, I agree that any site in Russia directly contributing to the war, such as airbases, railroad staging yards, any storage deport, etc. should be on the target list. It's amazing that NATO quietly accepted that it's okay to blow up UA, but RU gets a free pass. I am hoping this changes as UA gets closer to the border. But for now, TACMS is not in UA because of this very silly rule. I am hoping that UA has developed an accurate long-range missile with help and this will change.
Chester, I Agree, He Keeps saying Russian Territory,,, what an Idiot ! For now Ukraine could just keep hitting the Train Tracks coming off the Bridge, and into Crimea. Keep bombing it there along with the Auto part of the Bridge. That is the weak point.
It has many weak points that artillery and HIMARS will punch right through
The railway section carries less risk as compared to the road. That is probably already mapped by Ukraine. Dropping something in the vicinity of it will already put people off from crossing it. Antonovsky bridge had the same concerns.
I think they could take out the bridge by simply sabotaging a train to derail or explode right on the moving parts of the bridge.
Targeting and destroying such a bridge with an air-raid will not be sufficient.
I think the car bridge could be best destroyed by parking two HGVs full of fertilzer soaked in diesel fuelright on the moving part of the bridge blowing tem up and simultaniously.
We would not want the Bridge to be repairable.
This is one of these bad missions, where civilian deaths are unavoidable as civilian traffic is basically used to cover the saboteurs. And alerting the civilians might get the saboteurs into trouble.
they could attack it in night time since it's less civillian activity like antonovsky bridge attack
The Kerch Bridges are legitimate military targets. Ukraine has given adequate warning and civilians can choose not to use them. Russian civilians are not compelled to travel to Ukraine (Crimea) - they understand by now that this country does not welcome them.
And where people travel to from Russia to crimea ? How people use to enter ukraine. Soil prior this bridge been build it ?
@@TremereTT as to be an overnight mission less people around ,
I wonder where those people travel too ? What they used before this bridge was build ? And why they have to enter in Ukraine city In the middle of a war ? Puzzle more puzzle
Bridge have very strong steel frame to hold road traffic and train tough
the Kurch Bridge is destined to go, the sooner than later GLORY TO UKRAINE
🇺🇸🤝🇺🇦, HOORAH MY BROTHER'S. Bless you all et get that Crimea bridge and knocked out part of it. Stay safe,focus and keep momentum destroy them russian save you land. You guys are doing excellent defending your own peoples freedoms and land! Slava ukraine 🇺🇦 ♥️
Well Ukraine didn't lie it's a job well done 👏👏👏
The bridge is not “200 miles from Ukrainian territory”. Crimea is not recognised as Russian territory.
God bless the great warriors and people of Ukraine I look forward to your victory so I can come from UK to celebrate with you

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR...
GO
AND
FIGHT,,,,,,,FOR ZZZZZZZZZZSCOUNDRELENSKY....

This bridge could be destroyed by a smoker or perhaps record breaking temperatures, but I guess missiles will end it, Putin forces can not prevent it, even using human shields, Ukraine will wait for the right moment, probably when it sees munitions crossing it,

Unlike the bridges over the Dnipro river, the Crimean Bridge can and should be totally demolished. I think it’s only a matter of time.
It’s being studied by Ukraine several weeks when and how to strike the bridge with the help of the US and what weapons to be used.
500,000lbs of C4 Explosives!
Over 200 tons of C4 ? That would take out the whole 12 miles of bridge !
@@teddeebayre3433 : Collateral damage is what they should have!
Down with the Kerch bridge. Hurray for Ukraine. Enough said. Why did this video take 8.5 minutes? No doubt to satisfy the algorithm.
Useless hiding the bridge with smoke screens or blinding enemy radar with reflective material on barges when anything used to target these bridges will use military GPS.
GPS because laser and radar guided is obscured. Anything big enough to have range, payload and navigation is protected against easily. 200 miles is out of himars range and drones and satellites are less able to guide if they can't see or are jammed.
@@-..-..-..-..-..-..-..-..-..
Yes but U.S special forces and British are guiding their hands and doing some of the work. Make no mistake Russia is fighting Ukraine, U.S and their lap dog N.A.T.O
@@markward3981 yeah but you'd need the newest top gun movie fighter jet mission plan to take down that bridge. you can't get that legally in a proxy war.
@@markward3981 Good. Russia should get what it deserves for trying to colonize Ukraine.
Well shit boys they did it.
6:56 “They will first need to liberate Kherson”. Well, that’s what they’re about to do, with the bridge down!
It will go, it is just question of when!
As it turns out, neither Kherson, Melitopol, nor Mariupol had to be recaptured in order to damage the bridge.
You don’t have to destroy the bridge, you just need to able to constantly hit what’s on top of it. It has the same effect and Russia’s air defense system so far seems to be lagging.
Exactly
Good luck with that idea.

Hard to believe but apparently was not able to prevent attack during RasPutler 70th birthday 🎉
This aged like fine milk.
The answer since this morning is: " No!" #NAFO
Sun Tzu: "There are roads which must not be followed, armies which must not be attacked, towns which must not be besieged, positions which must not be contested, commands of the sovereign which must not be obeyed.”
And your point regarding the bridge is.............. ?
Leave a golden bridge for the enemy to evacuate if not they will keep fighting until they ran out of ammunition be besiege of Kherson the Russia has placed explosive device on the pillar and under the Antonivskyi Bridge just in case they have to Used scotched earth policy as Russia retreat. They may have retrofitted military grade armor on the crimea bridge and many counter Measure. The best way is to destroy the pillar of the bridge.
@@kaboomwinn4026 nope, "THE GOLDEN BRIDGE" is allowing russia to surrender, russias weakness is there poor logistics. That is where you hit them. Were the russian army motivated by being attacked? But because russia is the invader, and is fighting Id say you might be right. But from the start. Russias armu has suffered from low moral, and lack of motivation.
in this case as in khutson, , its a matter of prepping the battlefield.
Boom. Job done Ukraine.
hello from october 8, to answer your question, no he cant
We need to step up the aid. There will never be a better opportunity to drive the orcs completely out of Ukraine. If we don't Russia will rebuild and come back stronger.
Russia will survive without the US and Europe. But Europe without Russian gas, oil, fertilizers, products will live much harder. This is not a mockery, but a fact that your authorities deny in every possible way. Nord Stream was blown up for this, so that Europe would buy gas from the United States for a lot of money. Solving the issues of Ukraine, you completely forgot about yourself.
Destroying the bridge, even only part of it, is a symbolic act. Russia built it to connect the peninsula to Russia and thereby making it part of Russia, and destroying it will sever that idea as well as the bridge. Russia will have no means of providing weapons and soldiers into southern Ukraine and their effectiveness there will decline rapidly leaving access only through the Donbas region. Ukraine can at least shore that area up.
SLAVA UKRAINE 🇺🇦
Destroying the bridge is in the plan. Once Kherson is liberated the bridge will be destroyed once the winter sets in. The annexation of Crimea and the building of this bridge at the time had a sense of permanence but it's destruction will shatter that illusion and have major implications back in Russia particularly as it is a story that cannot be covered up. With Russian supplies only able to come through the mainland strip Crimea could capitulate without a fight if they can use the himar's through the winter to slowly destroy Russian military infrastructure. Then I would think the war will end as the Russian army walks away and Putin finally falls. Fingers crossed.
I hope by the one year anniversary the USA and Europe and Ukraine with have neutralized 100,000 Russians. We are at 50,000 now. With the new offensive we could be talking 125 -150. I hope so. They have been terrible.
"Liberating Kharkiv is far easier said than done." Update: It's DONE!!!

If you need address in Ukraine, contact me.
I would suggest that the Russians use their soldiers as human shields on the bridge. They will be just as good there as they are fighting Ukrainians!! Same result.

@@vicmercd9136 When did Russia ever need an excuse for committing atrocities?
@@ronthered138 Russia is not committing atrocity, when you Gayski placed his missiles in residential areas, put his soldiers on residential buildings and hospital buildings, Russia have no other option to target those buildings.
Gayski is a war criminal supporter by Fascist European war criminals. If Russia had intention to Baghdad Kiev no country would date to stop her.
This is already their basic infantry strategy.
It would be awesome to have some kamikaze drone submarines, a few air force bombers and a few long range HIMARS all hit the bridges at the same time, right after letting some HARM missiles loose to take out all the air defence radar systems first. Poor rooskies are going to cry for years over the loss of those bridges! Cant wait...it is inevitable.

@@rogerhudson2814 It's gonna happen !! Only a matter of time !!
l would suggest buying an old surplus Frigate or Destroyer , disguising it as a Russian one with a few clever alterations , cram it with tonnes and tonnes of TNT into the bow with detonator on a timer , then sailing up the channel towards the bridge in the dark flying a Russian flag ! A skeleton crew on board just manning the guns and the ship would speed up then ram one of the bridge's large supports . Then after the crew escape the timer detonates the explosive !! l know a lot of countries who would willingly donate an ultra modern brand new Destroyer for this !! The Ukrainian's would accept gladly ! You don't look a Gift Horse in the mouth - as the saying goes !
