Russians in Crimea invented how to hide the Kerch Bridge from the "eyes" of the Armed Forces - Britain's intelligence

The Russian invaders laid down the smoke generators and trained to mask the crossing of smoke so that it was not noticed by the Armed Forces. However, such "protection", according to scouts, was ineffective. In the occupied Crimea there were training of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation on the masking of the Kerch Bridge. This was reported by the UK Ministry of Defense on May 29.

"On May 24, 2023, Russia conducted safety training around the Crimean bridge that connects the city of Kerch with the occupied peninsula. This included the creation of a smoke curtain that partially masked the bridge. The smoke curtain using TDA-3 smoke generators was likely to make 28 brigades of nuclear, biological and chemical protection of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, " - the message reads.

The department noted that in practice, Russian masking was generally ineffective in the war against Ukraine, probably due to the lack of strong function of centralized planning and poor combat discipline at a low level.
