Military expert, Colonel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Vladislav Seleznev believes that it is now impossible to predict the destruction or serious damage to the Crimean Bridge.
“Forecasting the destruction or serious damage to the Kerch Bridge is an extremely thankless story. We still do not know when and in what volumes we will receive military-technical means to implement this plan,” he said in an interview with Oboz.ua.
The expert recalled that Germany is not ready to transfer Taurus missiles to Ukraine, which would seriously damage and even destroy the Kerch Bridge. At the same time, the United States has not yet made a decision on the transfer of ATACMS missiles with a high-explosive fragmentation warhead and the ability to launch them at a distance of up to 300 kilometers.
According to Seleznev, it is incorrect to predict the destruction of the facility until the issue of transferring the necessary weapons to the Armed Forces of Ukraine is resolved. A political solution to this issue will not be made earlier than the third ten days of January, but technically it can be implemented in February.
“But let’s remember the words of American General Ben Godges, who is a supporter of this option for resolving the situation in Crimea: first, the destruction of the Kerch Bridge, second, the systematic and methodical destruction of enemy military potential in Crimea and Sevastopol,” the expert noted.
He added that some of these processes are already happening. In particular, for this purpose the Ukrainian army uses Storm Shadow missiles, unmanned platforms, sea- and air-based kamikaze drones. Seleznev emphasized that resources are needed to destroy the entire military-technical infrastructure in Crimea, which consists of at least 232 military facilities.
