I honestly find it baffling that that thing still stands. It shouldn’t be that hard to get a few divers there planting charges, right? Cut off the Krim from russia and see how long the soldiers their can still put up a fight
It’s a 18.1 km long bridge. You couldn’t possible watch it all and divers are basically invisible at night. Looking at how critical that bridge is usually portrayed, it would make sense to disable it (they have tried a few times already). What’s armchair about that?
In James bond movies yes. But most are written well before drones and very cheap thermal cameras.
It is pretty easy with modern equipment to monitor body heat in water. With the addition of AI very easy to ID human Vs fish both by shape and differing body temps.
But I’m no more a real general then yourself. So back to the armchair.
Because if it was that easy, they would have done it?
There are quite a few smart people versed in tactical warfare racking their brains on how to break Russian supply lines. If they haven’t come up with a feasible plan to blow up the bridge yet, I doubt you just did.
My (armchair general) assessment:
Way behind enemy lines in one of the most guarded areas of occupied Ukraine territory.
No covert means to deploy or retrieve divers. The Ukrainian navy doesn’t operate submarines.
Because if it was that easy, they would have done it?
Exactly. Thats why I’m baffled. I would assume it to be rather easy, especially with the underwater drones they have used so far.
They surely know more about the situation than we do, so maybe the bridge is actually under good surveillance nowadays

Huh, I thought that with the neoprene and cold water it would be hard enough to make it feasible on such vast areas

The bridge has been targeted and damaged before. The Russians fix it rather quickly.
They might want to give russians a way to retreat if the are able to cut Crimea off from the rest of the Ukrainian front.
