Mavideol Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 23 minutes ago, Rimmer said: Crimea bridge partly reopens after huge explosion - Russia By Hugo Bachega in Kyiv and Patrick Jackson in London BBC News Light traffic has resumed on Russia's only bridge to Crimea, hours after a huge blast brought down sections of the roadway. The blast on Europe's longest bridge - a symbol of Russia's annexation of the peninsula from Ukraine in 2014 - killed three people, investigators say. The victims were in a nearby car when a lorry blew up, Russian officials claim.

Rimmer Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 1 hour ago, placeholder said: Well, it's really 2 bridges. At least 2 separate roads. The one that got hit is the one that has a road and train tracks. The trains are a very important means of transporting materiel destined for Kherson. It looks like the truck exploded on one carriageway at the precise moment a tanker train was on the rail line above it causing the huge fire on the rail line EDIT OR as is now being suggested the explosion came from below and was detonated by line of site when a tanker train was at that point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarraMarra Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Sepious there has not been any attacks on kiev for Months so likely the crews that man the defense systems around the city were not on duty as they don't man them 24/7 only when a strike is a possibility. Plus they were fired close so there would be little time to intercept them. Just another indiscriminate attack on Civilians from Putin's thugs.

However that still left over 30 landing and causing carnage and destruction. No tactical reason for this, just pure terror that coincides also with the new commander for Russian forces in Ukraine General Sergey Surovikin taking charge after the Crimea Bridge attack. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing Ukraine can do with its own weapons (not western ones) can be seen as escalation. Ukraine is defending in Ruzzia's full-out war. Short of using WMD, everything Ukraine does to strike Ruzzian military targets is fair game. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So individuals should buy missile systems, tanks, military drones, schedule spy satellites over Ukrainian to provide military intelligence, engage in diplomacy and enact economic sanctions? Of course not, the response needs to come from nation states. Individuals wishing nations and international nation state organizations would do more is entirely understandable. 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
