You love to see it, but more importantly you love to see it.
Looks like maybe the Storm Shadow with its BROACH warhead was to good for the task. The first stage of the warhead blowed this little hole in the bridge, the secend stage then exploded below the bridge and did reletively little damage.
Good news!
They need to somehow make the warhead explode 10 inches above the bridge, not go through it like a bullet.
It seems like the attack on key bridges is both slow and relentless.
If that allows civilian cars to carefully navigate, great.
It would be a brave (or stupid) man to drive a loaded tank transporter across that now.
I find it remarkable how a bridge can eat a missiles like that, especially when you think of how much kinetic and explosive energy it has.
I know we all enjoy laughing at the sad condition of Russian military, but how good is Russian civil engineering? Would a similar attack on non-Russian infrastructure hold up any better?

Genuinely curious
