could've just been a miss. alternately I think the rail bridge is considerably higher than the road span overall because it requires shallower grades, so it might be harder to damage with marine drones.

You know you'd think if Ukraine actually wanted to genocide Russians they'd just bomb the tourist convoy.


I wonder why they aren't...hmmm.

Maybe the tankies are wrong about who the Nazis are because I. Fairly certain Russia would be bombing a civilian convoy.

The Kerch bridge is not just a strategic target, it's a giant gently caress you from Russia to Ukraine so destroying the road section is as much political as it is strategic

I doubt the rail section will remain untargeted for long TBH

Not sure what part of the span was hit, but the rail bridge seems to be much higher above the water than the car bridge:



If it was a water drone underneath that exploded, the rail span would be a much harder target.

It annoys me that all the other countries are getting all the brownie points for their cruise missiles (joking). Does Ukraine not have a launch platform for Tomahawks?

But as this was naval drones, this video implies they still have eyes on this bridge via the storm shadow route.

I beg to differ that it's not a strategic target, it's a major component of russian logistics for the kherson oblast front.

Current Tomahawks are ship-launched only. The US Army is developing a land-based launch platform for them (that will also work for anything else that will fit in an Aegis VLS, like Standard SAMs or Sea Sparrows) but it's not in service yet.

Umm.... I said it was a strategic target? In this case it's also a prestige / political one as well.
