"If this is just a probe, then that would lead the Russians to be worrying about what will take place next."

Attacks on the Crimean Bridge
- The Crimean bridge suffered two attacks today around 1pm and 3pm local time
- Russian authorities claim 3 missiles were downed and the visible smoke is a smokescreen
- Traffic on the bridge has been suspended
- Footage from locals shows plumes of smoke above the bridge
- Crimean occupation authorities claim Ukraine launched S-200 missiles at the bridge
- Military expert Ollie Kaptakov says the strike could have been probing air defenses
- At least 8 explosions were heard near the bridge around 3pm
- Russian Telegram channels have exposed the positions of air defenses around the bridge
Speculation on the Attacks
- Some of the smoke looks artificially generated from smoke generators the Russians have used before
- However, the different colors of smoke suggest not all of it is from smoke generators
- Rumours claim at least one bridge span fell and a small ship was hit, but this is unconfirmed
- The air defenses being active indicates this is more than just an exercise
- Traffic was stopped and restarted a few times after new explosions
- The amount of smoke rising high could indicate genuine explosions rather than just smoke generators
Implications of the Attacks
- This is brilliant for the Ukrainians because it will cause panic for both Russian civilians and military
- The Russians will scramble to bolster air defenses, using up resources
- Even if everything was shot down, Ukraine will gain intel on the air defenses around the bridge
- This could be a precursor to a larger attack to swamp the air defenses and take out the bridge
