Already made progress: the Armed Forces want to isolate a large part of the Kursk region - Forbes

According to journalists, shortly after the Great Ukrainian Forces crossed the border and entered the Kursk region on August 6, the Ukrainian army and aviation began to attack the bridges through the Seimas. 3 bridges have already been destroyed. It is reported that Ukrainians are trying to isolate part of the Kursk region, located west of the area of ​​about 480 square kilometers, which is partially limited by the river.

However, as the publication writes, the Russians are determined to prevent it. They build new bridges almost as quickly as the Ukrainians destroy the old ones. However, temporary pontoon bridges are even more vulnerable than constant spans. The material says that the first bridge fell on Friday 16 August. Ukrainian missiles, which are probably released from the US launched plants High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (Himars), dumped a concrete bridge across the Diet in Glushkovo.

Already on August 17, the Ukrainian Armed Forces struck the Second Bridge through the Diet in called. The third bridge, in the Cariz west of the name, was destroyed on August 19. It is noted that Russian engineers responded quickly. They built one floating pontoon bridge through the Diet in Glushkovo, and then another between Glushkovo and called.

The material states that the pontoon bridge is not as durable and capacious as permanent, but it is practical, when an alternative is to overcome the Vibrid River. At the same time, as journalists stated, there are no reasons why the Armed Forces will not be able to destroy these pontoon bridges as permanent.

It is reported that it is unclear now how many more bridges - permanent or temporary - Ukrainian troops will have to be destroyed in order to effectively isolate a large area of ​​Kursk region adjacent to the current invasion zone. But they probably made great progress. Earlier, the media reported that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation would try to cut off the path before the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces near Kursk.
