Russian invasion of Ukraine

They don't have the capability and that is why the Bridge was never taken out besides the relatively minor bombings.

It would require a 1st class army and marine commando capable of mounting an amphibious assault and With precision and speed.

Too slow and they would allow time for Russia to resupply, bed down and bring in reinenforcements or lay booby traps and turn it into a urban warfare nightmare.

Crimea is going to be ceded because it's one of the territories occupied by Russia which Ukraine has the smallest chances of capturing by military means.

They do have the ability to do it now. It’s recent addition but it’s there.

The f16 can carry 2 jassm bombs. 1000lbs each with an accuracy of 3m and can be dropped from 230 miles.

1 of them hitting a support pillar and it’s game over for the bridge. Might take 10 across the whole length to really do a full number on it tho to account for some misses.

It is also no doubt a significant risk to the planes to do it.

I'm talking about the offensive capability to recapture the peninsula. They can blow up the bridge but they can't carry out an amphibious assault that is more likely to succeed than not.

I don't think anybody was talking about taking Crimea, it's about strengthening Ukraines hand.

I suspect Korea tipped the balance

A couple of views on it really.

Take out the bridge and the main supply line is now road and rail that are within reach of HIMARS.

Land a few hundred/thousand marines ( uk has trained that many ) mid way down Crimea, resulting in Russia having to move troops down from the front line to defend Crimea and weakens the front line to slow movement or allow a crossing to left side of the Dnipro etc.

While none of that would allow Crimea to be taken back it’s a step towards it
