tac airlifter Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Worthwhile analysis of the bridge strike; I did not realize it was detonated via suicide truck bomb: Link This and NS2 sabotage are potentially pivotal incidents shaping the next few months. And nobody is taking credit and it’s not obvious who did it. Very strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like they got it anyway. Today’s missile strikes didn’t hit a single militarily significant target, instead hitting parks, pedestrian bridges, and playgrounds. Putin continues to do a great job recruiting pissed off Ukrainians who want nothing more than to kill untrained, poorly equipped, elderly Russian “soldiers” by the bushel.

Anyone care to comment about whether-or-not Russia is running low on expendables (not humans). Maybe poking the bear (STS) works if he isn't being fed - eventually he'll run out of energy (and resources) to fight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bridge was actually attacked by a SOF team using a remote controlled boat that maneuvered a barge laden with a LOT of explosives into place under the bridge. Like their cousins at the NYT, Russia was quick to blame a truck bomb and even named the driver. Good story and analysis here. They even found the remote controlled boat afterwards. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreeHoler Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/russias-fsb-arrests-eight-crimea-bridge-blast-2022-10-12/Russia still says truck bomb.“The FSB said the explosive device was camouflaged in rolls of construction polyethylene film on 22 pallets with a total weight of 22.7 tonnes, and moved from Ukraine to Russia via Bulgaria, Georgia and Armenia.”Did I think it was a truck bomb? Undecided at the time which is why I said “NYT said…” Now? Not likely, and also not as likely that Ukraine did it. The FSB release gives more credibility to Russia doing it themselves to justify increasing their attacks.Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Ratner Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 I'm not an expert, but when I was watching the videos from the day of the explosion, it sure didn't look to me like the blast originated from the bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecugringo Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Also looks like they timed it where a train was on that portion of the bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you watch the new CCTV video you can see the nose of the barge as it comes under the bridge and detonates. In other news, Ukraine "claims" to have shot down four Russian Helicopters in 18 minutes - presumably Ka-52s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waveshaper Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 (edited) If folks want to see some examples of the types of damage a surface detonated (on top of the bridge roadway) LVIED does to a bridge = see the Iraq War: truck bomb destroys bridge in Iraq - Bing images Edited October 12, 2022 by waveshaper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looked like tanker cars which most likely would have fuel and had they known the train schedule and timed it that well....that is some good intel.
