I mean they can disable the bridge, hell even destroy a small section, but it can be repaired quite quickly.
It’s been hit by harder shit than atacms and been repaired, there are much more useful assets that could be hit other than this bridge for a much bigger effect.
It’s not if they’re powerful enough to destroy the bridge – it’s if it’s the right tool.
too many idiots talk crap about the .22 but is as letal as it gets. Bring that crap breach down once and for all
The key is to break it in two places to make it four times harder to fix because you can’t bring supplies from both sides easily to one spot. Strand part of it in the middle of nowhere.
Hey, I believe it.
Even the russians claim one ATACMS is powerful enough to wipe out 17 million children on a Crimean beach.
Dude really pulled a RTFM
What do you say we give it a try.
few well placed scalps could do it too.
The schizophrenia of russians is both sad and amusing.
“Western weapon is inferior and weak, and cannot help Ukraine. We are losink only because Ukraine hef Western weapon.” — russians
I wonder why they haven’t attempted to take it down yet
DO IT!!!
Prove it.
Classic RTFM!!
I hear container ships can damage bridges; any truth to that ?
Then do it yesterday.
Why not send like 20 or 30 ATACMS to take out the whole bridge? That’d make it out of commission the rest of the war…
too much bla bla bla, just let them go without vaseline for the ruskies to enjoy
Yes, it’s always a good idea to read the instruction and specifications manual! I always do.
That’s fine but practicallly no military supplies pass the Kerch anymore. Most are brought in by ship and anything on the southern front is now brought direct by the new rail lines Russia has built. A massive network of lines and connectors have been built. Russia can get supplies to any front within 2 days from mainland Russia. Ukraine needs to focus on destroying these lines on a daily basis. That will disrupt
Say what you will about Russian defenses, but it’s 2.5years in and that bridge is still standing. If ATACMS can do it, why wait?
I bet someone in the DoD has a way to make them a bit spicier.
You destroy it because Putin cares about it more than his own soldiers. You do it because you can.
Theres only so many floating crane barges.
Symbolically, the bridge should be destroyed to show Russians that they do not own Crimea.
Do it Budanov
Then do it.
Do it!
Don’t talk about it. Do it.
If they can, why don’t they? This is kinda lame.
This is one of those instances where actions definitely speak louder than words
Ugly bridge. The arches don’t even match.
