Ukrainian officials say they will destroy Vladimir Putin’s most beloved bridge by mid-July
UKRAINIAN officials say they will destroy Vladimir Putin's most beloved bridge by mid-July - giving them roughly 100 days to pull off the near-impossible.Russia's infamous Kerch Bridge that stretched to Crimea is pictured burning after a strike by Ukraine in October 2022For Putin, the 12-mile Kerch bridge - which he hailed a "miracle" upon its completion - is a visible symbol of his sham triumph in "returning" Crimea to its homeland.
Ukraine's spy agency, the SBU, have already orchestrated two daring attacks in the past. Both times the bridge was repaired.Now, Ukraine is plotting a fierce third attack - one that would take it down for good. And for that, he said at least 20 to 40 "long-range stand-off weapons with a payload of 500lb plus are needed".
Storm Shadow's can be launched from over 200 miles away, which saves Ukraine risking its precious, but ageing fleet of Mig-29s and Su-24s - needed to launch such missiles - by flying any closer. That's the big problem Ukraine has now, he said. "The mismatch between the weapons in their arsenal and the aircraft they have to launch them.
He stated that Russia would have "difficulty defending" against both the missile strikes and the explosive sea drones.RUSSIA invaded the Ukrainian territory of Crimea in 2014 - sparking ten years of war between the two neighbours. Former US General Ben Hodges told The Sun that since 2014, Ukraine's goal has always been to win back Crimea.So far, Kyiv's plan appears to be to besiege the annexed peninsula - launching continuous assaults from land, sea and air - until it becomes untenable for Russian forces to hold it.
Brig-Gen. Ivan Lukashevych, of the SBU - who masterminded the 'Sea Baby' attack on the Kerch bridge in July 2023 - declared last month: “As long as the enemy is a beast, we will hunt it."“Forcing the enemy to flee from the Black Sea was the goal we sought and it was achieved," he told The Telegraph.
