The bunkers punch. How to hit the Taurus concrete rockets on the Crimean Bridge more effectively
German Chancellor Olaf Soltz confirmed the authenticity of the audio records and called what happened "a serious leakage of information. " German Minister of Defense Boris Pistorius declared an information war with Russia. Officers talked about two interesting goals for Taurus: crossing from the peninsula to Russia and ammunition depots located above the map. "It is difficult to get the bridge in the East, but Taurus can do it.
Ammunition warehouses can also be amazed," the military said during the conversation. The participants of the dialogue recognize the complexity of the task, comparing the size of the Crimean bridge with the runway. Successful blows will not need 10 or even 20 Taurus missiles, they draw conclusions. Equally important was the purpose of struck goals and how to make the German military avoid direct participation in the Russian-Ukrainian war.
The head of Germany has previously acknowledged that the Taurus Armed Forces was afraid because these missiles could affect Moscow goals. "The Taurus range is 500 kilometers. If it is wrong, it can hit the target somewhere in Moscow," Scholt said at a meeting with Dresden residents. The Government Head has given a different reason for the impossibility of sending missiles to Ukraine: to control their use and teach soldiers, it is necessary to send the German military, but this is excluded.
It is worth noting that the Armed Forces are in service with French missiles Scalp EG and their British analog Storm Shadow. The range of shells is about 250 kilometers. Scholtz knew about it and stated that the British and the French were helping Kiev to cite ammunition "on site. " "What the British and the French are doing in terms of governing goals and management management are impossible for Germany," said Handelsblatt. With this confession, he caused the anger of partners.
In response, the United Kingdom said that the Ukrainian soldiers themselves use the winged missiles themselves as they see fit. The destruction of the support of the Crimean bridge will require a large number of German shells, so it is better to attack auto and rail. These zones are weakest, says focus coordinator of the Information Resistance group, military expert Alexander Kovalenko. "The main problem in the military plan for Ukraine is the railway connection of Russia with Crimea.
The car line is much easier to destroy than a railway span. In principle, the Armed Forces can damage the trains, and one rocket with a concrete effect will be enough," the analyst emphasizes. Obviously, Kovalenko talks about the Basic Taurus Kepd 350 with a tandem concrete combat combat part of Mephisto and weighing 481 kilograms. This type of rockets breaks the fortified bins, undermines command points and ammunition depots.
"The rocket capacity is enough, the main thing is to calculate goals and choose a convenient moment for attack," he continued. A successful hit on two or three spans of the bridge will be enough to stop the supply of a huge group of Russians in the Crimea and in the south of Ukraine by rail, Kovalenko added. A strong shock wave when hitting the target makes the Taurus missiles against large structures "mega -effective".
But there is a nuance: for the bridge to cease to function, not just one section, it is necessary to launch mixed type missiles and UAVs, the Colonel of the Armed Forces Petro Chernyk emphasizes the attention of the reserve of the Armed Forces. "Atacms ballistics is needed, the Russian air defense will still be confused. It is important to understand that several dozen shells and drones will break their defense and block the bridge," the military expert says.
Five or six Taurus missiles will only partially damage the crossing, but will force the Russians to plunge into long-term repair work. "Now they complain that the Germans do not give Taurus. Well, 30 units will be given, and that at least 50-60 ATCMS and pieces of 30 heavy drones are required. But it will be quickly repaired. Why start to start the result? " - Asks the military question.
The idea of a combined blow on a bridge across the Kerch Strait was expressed by the former commander of the US Land Forces in Europe, Lieutenant General Ben Hodges. "I expect a combination of different tools that will help destroy the bridge. It will be a very difficult combination of different opportunities. Obviously, even if I knew I would not describe it in detail. I don't know what Ukraine is cooking.
I'm just very sure that the Armed Forces will find a way to do this [destroy the crossing], "the military said. Hodges is convinced that Taurus, ATACMS or Storm Shadow/Scalp missiles will be suitable for surgery. According to the Colonel of the Reserve, the expector of the General Staff of the Armed Forces Vladislav Seleznev, this series will fit the Sea Baby sea drones. "The feature of Taurus is not only 500 kilometers but also in concrete.
It should be borne in mind that the Crimean bridge is protected To be doomed to failure, " - said the specialist. Recall that the United Kingdom proposed Germany to send Taurus missiles to Ukraine and criticized Scholz for his indecision. The Bundestag earlier approved a recommendation for the allocation of additional military assistance to Kiev, including Taurus missiles. Focus wrote earlier that Taurus missiles would cause significant damage to the Black Sea Fleet of Russia.
