Russian invasion of Ukraine

To put the bridge out of action they would be best to use the Storm Shadow delivery system but with the French KRISS anti runway submunitions. Not sure however if France allows the export of them as they are a type of cluster bomb.

If they can get within 45 miles with an aircraft which would put them well within range of Russian anti aircraft missiles, a few 2000lb JDAMs would do the job. But that’s a big ask and far too risky.

That's the eastern way into Crimea. Going via the western route is a long way round.

These just go over the Crimean Canal, which is now drying up, so not actually that much if an obstacle. It does however make it more difficult to supply the Zaporizhzhia front from Crimea.

Taking out the other bridges on the canal going north to Nova Kakhovka would make it very difficult for Russia to supply the Zaporizhzhia front from Crimea snd would make it difficult to move reinforcements back to a drying east/left bank of the Dinipro.

11 other bridges go over the canal to the east of main roads going north with the M17:
Stavky, Kalanchk (E), Kalanchk (N), Mykolavia, Brylivka, Yuvileine, Shchaslyve (M17 goes west here), Serhiivka (T2206/T2210 junction), Tsukury (T2202/T2210 junction) and Tavriiis'k (T2202/P47 junction)

All would be taken out if Ukraine crosses Dinipro as Russia has kindly withdrawn forces to support the Zaporizhzhia front.

Excellent battlefield shaping by Ukraine giving the Russians Logistics and reinfircement problems
