Very much doubt it was a truck bomb. That much damage would have needed explosives expertly placed at the right points on the bridge. Sabotage operation imo. The fuel train explosion would have been separate.That’s either a patriotic suicide truck driver bomb, or a poor sap that didn’t know it’s cargo.
Either way, that’s one heck of a longterm operation behind enemy lines.
Getting a truck.
Getting explosive materials.
Getting materials into truck , so it passes the x-ray machines on bridge (unless bribed?).
Getting a sap driver/suicide volunteer to deliver the cargo.
And finally, with the unlikely coincidence of it exploding, just as it’s passing a fuel train…that’s incredible timing.
If it was a truck bomb.
Would have thought it was 2 separate explosions. One attached to the train and one the road bridge. Looking how that section has collapsed it looks like they could have planted something under it. Fuck knows how they timed it to happen at the same time though!That’s either a patriotic suicide truck driver bomb, or a poor sap that didn’t know it’s cargo.

… which also means an incredible operation to travel by sea , presumably, and place explosives that well, whilst undetected.Very much doubt it was a truck bomb.

Must have been the train blast that took out the bridge. That thing was a massive project built with lots of delays and pressure to get it done.Would have thought it was 2 separate explosions.

Probably not a bad thing. Gives the occupiers a route out which should reduce the effort needed to liberate Crimea.Sadly, one carriageway of the road bridge at that point is still intact. But hey - Happy Birthday Vlad!
Might be ready to go when they come to repair the rest of it?Sadly, one carriageway of the road bridge at that point is still intact. But hey - Happy Birthday Vlad!
