Land Corridor, Russian Fleet or Crimean Bridge: that the Armed Forces should be destroyed first

And how strategically important the Crimean bridge is when in the occupied territories Russia is already laying the railway. Military expert Dmitry Snegirev noted that the main task is to neutralize systems about and air defense, radio -electronic fighting systems that cover the Crimean bridge. "The defense forces of Ukraine are currently working on their neutralization," said Snegirev's focus.

According to him, in order to finally stop the movement of the Crimean bridge, it is necessary to inflict very serious damage. For example, hit the supports. "However, you can also do the roadside blows, but they need at least four. I will point out that the modernization of domestic missile systems is very important in this matter, in particular, it is about" Neptune "," Snegirev said.

The head of the Ukrainian Center for Security and Cooperation Serhiy Kuzan said that in addition to overcoming air defense systems and defense borders of the Russian Federation, the problem is the capital nature of the Crimean Bridge design, because it was designed so that it could withstand seismic vibrations, etc. "That is, the larger this design, the more the means of destruction are needed, more explosives are needed," Kuzan said.

According to him, to achieve the goal it is necessary to use means of defeat with a large number of explosives. "For example, there is a Taurus missile, but they need enough, that is, it all depends on where the blow will be hit. Because in order to disable the Crimean bridge, it is necessary to hit not the upper ones, but in the lower supports of the bridge, which is attached to itself Bridge structure. You can also use drones, but with a large number of explosives.

Among the missiles, the expert also noted Storm Shadow and Scalp. However, the issue of rockets and where it will be better to strike Ukraine. "That is, such a bridge is prioritatively destroyed when it is already decided to conduct the Crimean operation. That is, arguing when we have already started to perform surgery to cut Crimea from supply. The first steps for this are destruction The maritime component for logistics, the provision of the Crimean Peninsula.

In addition, he noted that it is important for Ukraine to destroy the railway. "It is important that not just falls off the flight itself, but that the base is destroyed, so that there is no place to put a span," Kuzan added. Military expert Oleg Zhdanov, commenting on the possibility of implementing a plan for the destruction of the Crimean bridge, stressed that Ukraine has no missiles in a fugas performance with appropriate capacity and range that would get and destroy this bridge.

He also noted that Ukraine is dependent on partners. "We will give weapons - we will be destroyed, we will not give, we will try to try . . . We tried our means, surface drones, but, unfortunately, the capacity of the wires is not enough to destroy the bridge supports, or a bridge flight," Zhdanov said. Zhdanov noted that the construction of railway connection through Berdyansk, Melitopol, as an alternative path, diminishes the value of the bridge as a strategic object.

However, the defense forces have Storm Shadow missiles, scalp that can be taken under fire control. "With those rockets that we have: Storm Shadow, Scalp, we will be able to take fire control and start destroying bridge crossings, or firing nodal stations in Berdyansk or in Mariupol," Zhdanov said.

In addition, Zhdanov emphasized that the task of defense forces - that the Crimean bridge stopped work as a transport connection, especially the railway part, because the main cargo is being taken on the railway part, "Zhdanov said. Dmitry Snegirev added that after the hypothetical destruction of the Crimean bridge in Russian bridge. There will be only one way of supplying weapons, ammunition and new units to the Crimea.

Thus, all logistics will remain tied to the Crimean bridge, and it is already under the impact of the Defense Forces of Ukraine, "Snegirev said.

According to him, the systematic action of the Armed Forces is manifested in the fact that the Ukrainian defense forces are methodically destroying as active protection of the bridge Through the Kerch Strait, as well as the vessels that could replace the Crimean bridge in the conditions of loss of the land corridor from the peninsula to Russia, which goes through Melitopol - Berdyansk - Mariupol. The turn of the bridge structure can come, "he summed up.
