Why Hasn't Ukraine Droned This Obvious Russian Backup Bridge?
Isolating Crimea from overland logistics requires constant strikes.
Ukrainian forces are determined to cut Russian forces’ supply lines into occupied Crimea in southern Ukraine. Striking trucks, trains, bridges, ships and port infrastructure in an escalating campaign beginning this spring, Ukrainian drones have throttled the flow of supplies into Crimea.
But they haven’t halted the flow of supplies. Curiously, Ukrainian drone units blew up a key bridge into Crimea, but didn’t blow up the backup pontoon bridge Russian engineers built to keep trucks rolling into the occupied peninsula.
That oversight “shows a failure in the midstrikes to stopping [sic] logistics from Crimea,” Ukraine Control Map noted. “Pontoon has been up for a while. We truly expected it to have gone down already.”
“Not sure what's gone wrong here, to be honest,” Ukraine Control Map added.
