That’s why we are going round in circles as you are basing your argument solely on if they could, they would as there is no military reason not to

I can see why they wouldn’t want to the reasons given in here make sense to me, but have no idea whether they have the capability. What I’m pretty certain of is none of us can be sure either way whether they do or don’t.No I don't. Otherwise they would have.
With that logic: Russia Has nuclear bombs, they have threatened many times to use them, why havent they?No I don't. Otherwise they would have.
Because it makes no strategic or militaristic sense.

They will, when they decide too.The Ukrainians have said they intend to destroy it.

Yep. That's right. And the small fact that they have said they want to and intend to destroy it. Everyone on your side of this discussion seems to have ignored that very important clue.That’s why we are going round in circles as you are basing your argument solely on if they could, they would as there is no military reason not to

No, otherwise they would have used them. I think there is a possibility they could destroy it with cruise missiles but they don't have an unlimited supply of these missiles do they and I think they have decided there is so much air defence around that bridge that the chances are small that this would be successful so they are using them elsewhere.Don’t you think the cruise misslies and humans could destroy it?

Did Ukraine say when they wanted to destroy it?Yep. That's right. And the small fact that they have said they want to and intend to destroy it. Everyone on your side of this discussion seems to have ignored that very important clue.

That's the wrong analogy.With that logic: Russia Has nuclear bombs, they have threatened many times to use them, why havent they?

They don't use nuclear missiles as they know the reaction of the wider world not just the west would be disastrous for Russia.

Why would they. Spell it out exactly why Ukraine would benefit from dropping the bridge now and, not say, in 6 months time?No, otherwise they would have used them. I think there is a possibility they could destroy it with cruise missiles but they don't have an unlimited supply of these missiles do they and I think they have decided there is so much air defence around that bridge that the chances are small that this would be successful so they are using them elsewhere.
