The revelation has infuriated the Russians. Moscow state media propagandist and British \u201cexpert\u201d Vladimir Kornilov declared it was \u201cnoteworthy how the British openly boast about their participation in acts of sabotage on Russian territory.\u201d In fact, the explosion was on <a data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/latest\/ukraine\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Ukrainian<\/a> territory under international law &#8211; though invaded by <a data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/latest\/vladimir-putin\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Vladimir Putin<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>He declared: \u201cIt\u2019s high time we started bragging: \u2018Russian missiles destroyed the key Westminster Bridge\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf course, the Houthis or the <a data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/news\/world\/2191227\/iran-war-live-trump-israel-kharg-island\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Iranians<\/a> will be the ones doing the hitting!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kornilov complained that \u201cthe British are practically choking with delight at their direct involvement in the terrorist attack\u201d.<\/p>\n<p data-mce-linkchecker-status=\"valid\">He asked what the British would \u201csing about\u201d if Westminster Bridge &#8211; next to the Houses of Parliament &#8211; was destroyed.<\/p>\n<p>The crossing has long been a focus of Russian interest.

But now the secret is out that Ukraine\u2019s innovative 426th Unmanned Systems Regiment used the heavy-lifting drone on 30-plus missions over 60 days, delivering a staggering 1.5 tons of explosives while eluding Russian forces.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBridges are relatively easy to destroy from underneath,\u201d said Ukrainian Col.
