The breakthrough of the Armed Forces to Berdyansk. When the Crimean Bridge becomes an important support for the Russian Armed Forces in the south

The forces of Ukraine's defense reduce the priority of blows on the Crimean bridge, talking about a multiple reduction in freight. But at any time, the crossing can turn into the main logistics artery of the Russian army in the south. Focus found out what could change the military priorities of the Armed Forces Command. The operation to destroy the Crimean bridge loses priority.

The effect of it is minimal, because the Russian army does not use it as much as possible for military logistics, said the spokesman of the Navy of Ukraine Dmitry Pletenchuk. The strategic and tactical importance of the bridge decreased due to its damage due to the joint operation of the SBU and the Navy. The level of general logistics load on the structure does not exceed a quarter of the total volume, other loads go through a ferry crossing, emphasizes the speaker.

It is noteworthy that just a week ago the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR) of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine Kirill Budanov said that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation actively brought personnel to the Crimea, and therefore brought modern air defense complexes C-500 to protect it. This testifies to Moscow's attentive attitude to the future design.

The routes of providing occupation troops in the south are partially planned from Rostov, also by the end of 2024 they plan to finish the rock rail (passes in parallel to the front line, such a road is used for maneuver and regrouping of troops, their supply or evacuation, as well as for false transportation. , Ed. ) Along the coast of the Azov Sea to Dzhankoy. "They can finish it (the construction of the railway cloth - ed. ).

Focus, military analysts respond to focus, call into question such an approach to assessing the importance of the Crimean bridge. If the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation has reduced cargo flows, it does not mean that in the future the cities will not again turn into the main artery of supply of the Southern Group.

For example, if there are 10 tanks in Crimea now, then a month can be seen for hundreds, the example of the military observer of the group "Information resistance" Alexander Kovalenko. "Imagine that the forces of Ukraine began a counter -offensive in the Zaporozhye region and break into Berdyansk, tearing two occupied bridgeheads - southern and eastern.

Question: how will the Russians support logistics in the occupied part of the Kherson region? Only through Crimea and the bridge," the expert said. The use of railway canvas for transportation of armored vehicles, so in the future the Crimean bridge should lose its functionality, he added. Such a large artery cannot be left for the enemy enemy in wartime. Transportation of personnel by crossing is a rather important indicator of its work, notes military expert Pavel Narozhny.

"In addition to weapons, since 2014, Russia has taken to the peninsula of its citizens. With a high probability brought by the Russians serve the army of the Russian Federation, so this must be borne , - the analyst shares the opinion. There may be agreements among the Western partners of Ukraine not to beat the Crimean bridge because of the nuclear threats of Moscow.

In the case of such conditions, it is quite possible to strike the Ukrainian part in the territorial waters of Ukraine - the zone with a length of almost 20 kilometers. "If the issue in the means of the defeat, the US has already raised the Armed Forces of long -range missiles. We have struck something throughout the Russian Federation," Pavel Narozhny emphasizes.

According to the Deputy Director of the Center for Army Research, Conversion and Disarmament Michael Samus, despite possible non -public warnings and agreements from the Russian Federation, the cities should be destroyed. According to international law, it is an illegal building in the Ukrainian territory. "The bridge is involved in the provision of occupation power on the peninsula. The military aspect is also important, and a quarter of transported goods is a decent volume.

If it was 2%, it would be worth changing plans," the expert said. The plan of military operation for the de -occupation of Crimea involves the destruction of illegal construction, it contains a specific time of blows on ferry crossings and the Crimean bridge. However, the current statements of the Ukrainian command are talking about the likely changes in the operations of the operation, summed up Samus.
