1. Yep. [Video and statement by Air Forces: Ukrainian airstrike destroyed a bridge in Glushkovo of Kursk region](https://liveuamap.com/en/2024/16-august-video-and-statement-by-air-forces-ukrainian-airstrike)

2. That … will be costly to repair

3. Cannot wait for the Russian bots to show up and tell me how this is somehow good for Russia and Putin now has Ukraine where he it wanted it all along.

4. This will help Ukraine add around 500km to the territory gained in Kursk, quite quickly.

   There is a huge river that is about 20 km into Russia, this is to the left of the Ukraine Kursk gains and goes 25km before it meets the Ukrainian boarder.

   This river has three bridges and it’s the only decent way to supply all those troops and settlements between the river and the Ukraine boarder. Ukraine destroyed this first bridge and did damage to a second one.

   Russia has a few the options. They could supply using a road that is easily bombarded by artillery as its next to Ukrainian gains. They could build a pontoon, killing 1,000s as they are sitting ducks. They could retreat now and just hand it over. They could hope the conscripts fight.

5. And it seems this little bridge was just slightly important to the logistics of the Russian forces in Ukraine…

   Oops. 🙂
