The bridge and arch in the video below are in Kyiv, overlooking the Dnipro river, a really lovely spot, one of my favorite places in Kyiv. Ironically the arch (built by the Soviets), represents the friendship of the Ukrainian and Russian people.

So basically Russian JTACs in the field are either worthless or dead so Russian AF just lobbing missiles at things they see on Google maps. "Bold strategy there, Cotton."

There is a constant look out for JTAC types and people observing places suspiciously, curfews are in place too.

2/ Tyry estimates that the explosives used "may have weighed between one and two thousand kilograms" (2,200-4,400 lb) but was "not a conventional mixture of fuel oil and ammonium nitrate, but something of much higher quality".

4/ "In such an explosion, the burning metals spread over a much wider area than just the usual large fireball. That would explain how a train dozens of metres away caught fire from the explosion."

7/ He points to a lack of water disturbance as evidence against the possibilities of a boat bomb or sabotage of the bridge structure. An explosion at sea level would have caused a spout of water, he says, but this isn't visible in the published videos.

9/ "Likewise, the 'flares' would have flown upwards, not downwards and sideways as they did in the explosion."

I mean, when your strategy includes hiring Syrians to teach you to make barrel bombs (because no aim, no blame)...

This is relevant here and the China thread. Canada's Chief of Defence Staff (top soldier) briefed Parliament today on the threat of China and Russia.

Russia's FSB arrests eight for Crimea Bridge blast

I find it interesting that they have this much info, so close to the incident. Also that 5 of the 8 are Russian, and that they are stating it moved through Georgia, Bulgaria, and Armenia before arriving in Crimea.

 

[R.Caerbannog]

Found this interesting, pretty sure someone mentioned Russia is dependant on a rail network to move things internally and in Ukraine. Guess their ability to resupply forces in Crimea is pretty much over.

That’s a hell of a round about route to follow
I’m not surprised in the slightest that 5 were Russian. All 8 of them will be lucky to ever see the light of day again.

The rail bridge hasn’t been closed, not yet anyway. That said It needs to be cut and cut soon.

Can literally see the mines in the vid...and it looks like the TC hatch is open so on the surface this looks completely self- inflicted.

Shit. I really hope they're able to cut that supply line.

Never say never, but without long range western weapons that will be very hard to accomplish.
