Good thread talking about how much explosives you'd need to do this kind of damage https://twitter.com/WarintheFuture/status/1578617208468819968

The actual explosion caught on camera. Edit: Not sure if this is fake or not. Cinci edit: sure as hell people are dying there https://twitter.com/BNONews/status/1578632518307545089 (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST) Somebody fucked around with this message at 12:09 on Oct 8, 2022 |

If the damage to the rail side is mainly from the burning train, it seems unlikely it's going to be out of commission for very long.

Do trains on the rail bridge have a low speed limit? Or do the trains drive over them mostly empty? The train seems to be stopped almost directly next to the damaged section of road bridge. Even with a missile strike or an explosive planted on the rails/train somewhere, that makes little sense to me, do Russian trains not have inertia? Not trying to be a train-truther or whatever, I just don't understand the claim of how Ukraine caught a passing train and it immediately stopped without derailing.

The surveillance videos being out surely must be some sort of security breach? Somebody fucked around with this message at 12:10 on Oct 8, 2022 |

There are cars trailing it. It also looks like a car tries to pass it and is vaporized so Im not buying the no casualties claim

FishBulbia posted:Wow, so it was a suicide bombing? I guess you could RC it but... Yeah I was gonna say, “Oh yeah, they can just slip over the border speaking Russian and buy a truck” is plausible enough, but if that’s how they did it what could their exfiltration strategy have been? Leaving a truck parked up in the middle of a bridge as long as that would have seemed mighty suspicious, and transferring to another car and gunning it at the last minute pretty risky.

Owling Howl posted:Presumably they would walk across the border with some explosives, buy a truck and put the explosives on it and then drive to the bridge. It sounds very dumb but does it seem implasuible knowing what we now about Russia after reading this thread for 8 months? Lmao. "Some" explosives. That's a massive explosion, not an amount you just carry with you. e: missed the new page.

FishBulbia posted:hmm, in the second angle there seems to be a wake or wave under the bridge right before the blast I wonder if you were able to time the truck on top and the boat on bottom a few sections back at just the right time if the resulting forces going in opposite directions would do greater damage than just a truck on top. Would be even harder to pull off though.

Remember this from a few weeks ago? Guess it was a test run. You’d think it would have been a huge hint to Russia to step is security around the bridge. https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidhambling/2022/09/22/mystery-vessel-may-be-new-ukrainian-attack-drone/amp quote:Russia Finds Mystery Vessel On Crimean Beach: Is It A New Ukrainian Attack Drone?

FishBulbia posted:Wow, so it was a suicide bombing? I guess you could RC it but... We've seen nothing to indicate Ukrainians would suicide themselves. Likely Ukraine took advantage of a corrupt system to get a truck on the bridge with no questions asked. Anyone worked out if the "truck bomb" was heading to or from Crimea?

That fire on the rail bridge burned for a couple hours at least - any civil engineers around willing to hazard a guess if that was enough time to structurally damage it?

https://twitter.com/Ukraine/status/1578634825417650176 The size and scope of the explosion rules out lone actors to me, has to be a truckload minimum, but feels like it could have been a build up over time.
