A lot of missiles are needed to destroy the Crimean bridge, but experts know where to hit - Yevlash

It will take a lot of missiles to destroy the Crimean bridge illegally built by the Russians, because the crossing is quite large. Our military knows exactly where to hit to cause significant damage, but we need to time it right.

This was stated by Illya Yevlash, spokesman for the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, in an interview with NV. He noted that there are certain places on the Crimean bridge that need to be hit to make it difficult to restore the railroad and roadway. Our specialists are working in this direction.

"We have already seen quite effective strikes against it, when explosions destroyed the roadway. They know where to strike, but they need time and timing. The Crimean bridge is now the most protected facility in almost the entire world. Air defense brigades have been deployed there, and it is very carefully guarded. Whenever there is a threat, the Russians make some kind of smoke, try to disguise it. They are very worried because they realize that there is a threat," Yevlash said.

He added that the destruction of the Kerch Bridge would weaken the capabilities of Russian troops in the occupied Crimea. The enemy would no longer be able to supply various types of equipment to the peninsula as actively.

"This would have a serious impact, in particular, on the image, because we must understand that this bridge has become a symbol of Russia's triumph. And its destruction would psychologically look like a slap in the face, a component that would have a positive impact on our people and a very negative impact on the political leadership of the Russian Federation and demoralize the enemies in general," the spokesman noted.

As OBOZ.UA previously reported, the Crimean bridge connecting the occupied Ukrainian peninsula with Russia will sooner or later come under attack by the Ukrainian Defense Forces. However, this attack must be well prepared: the volley must be massive, because it is necessary to destroy not one or two sections of the crossing at once, but more, said military expert, reserve colonel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Petro Chernyk.
