Russian special military operation in Ukraine #27

The problem with trying to counter it if it was a bridge bombing is that the attacker only has to get it right 1% of the time, whilst the defender has to do so 100% of the time. Not impossible though, a bit back you have tricks pass through xray scanners etc. Not foolproof of course.
If it was supports and I've no idea what it was, fulltime frogman patrols can be a decent counter.

Or did they plant the explosives and have some bugger unknowingly drive it across and detonated remotely by a following car?

Russia has so little deterrence that they (one of Zelensky's advisors) are literally telling you that yes, it was them who crossed your red lines.

Incoming cope about how it's a plan to bait Putin into making emotion-based decisions. No, it's much simpler than that and can be explained by observing a simple kindergarten for 30 minutes. It's pure power play and Ukraine's brazen behaviour reflects a (perceived?) tipping point in the power dynamics.

Naturally. That is what terrorist do. They will always claim responsibility. With an act like this Ukraine will only hasten their demise. They will dissolve to nothing. Soon you won't find them on any map.

Seems to be that the hands of Kremlin occupants have gotten a little soft over the last 20 years. We will find out soon whether they have what it takes, I personally am very skeptical

Russia knows how to deal with terrorist. The weekend has only started. Some people in Kiev are not going to have a great weekend.

The Bridge: Well the damage is done but it is still superficial and fortunately did not damage the arches. The collapsed span can be fixed fairly quickly. I just hope they can contain the fire on the railway line.
