Oh interesting. I didn't realize it was that early

It's just a summer thing, sunrise is at about 4:30 and sunset at 21:30

That's about sunrise time there right now https://www.timeanddate.com/astronomy/ukraine/kerch

Run's Crimean Bridge
u/AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space · 14 points
Wasn’t that 1100kg of TNT, or a smaller quantity of more powerful explosives with an equivalent power?

For such a target youd think they would have some better monitoring in place at least.

I think the Russians have enough depth near Melitopol that the bridge itself, despite being important is not the absolutely critical supply line it once was.
It is a symbol of Russia's efforts of integrating occupied Crimea though, that makes it a more important target.

I would 100% bank on the Russians being mind bogglingly sloppy and do exactly that. If you break the bridge completely the Russian forces could switch to the more costly air transport. But the uncertainty with the bridge might fool them long enough to become a timeless meme itself.

Torpedos explode below the target for a reason!
That displaced water has to go somewhere

How did I have no idea Harrison Ford was in that?!

No. The sequel to that one.

Their navy _does_ need to be enlarged...
u/general_kitten@sopuli.xyz · 15 points
would like to see them try anyway and make dozen or so tanks become submarines
u/aeronmelon@lemmy.world · 12 points
Probably not suitable for tanks or heavy supply convoys anymore.

Underwater shockwaves are no joke. The bridge is still standing though, wonder how long.

Kind of makes me hope for a delayed reaction like the dam explosion in the movie _Force 10 From Navarone_.

1100 kg of explosives apparently, but yeah wish it was more spectacular
u/IphtashuFitz@lemmy.world · 39 points
I would love to see Ukraine trolling Russia with this.
Detonate an underwater charge that weakens one of the bridge supports. Wait while the Russians react, examine the bridge, etc.
A dozen or so hours later detonate another hidden underwater charge on another support a few hundred yards away.
Repeat the process after random delays until so many supports are weakened that the bridge collapses under its own weight.

It might not be a spectacular explosion, but the fact thae sbu was able to put over 1000kg of explosives there is no small feat.

Whose Crimean bridge?

Looks somewhat underwhelming but on the other hand I am no demolition expert or structural engineer.

I was just wondering about the bridge. We hadn’t heard much about it in the news, and it seemed like about time for its turn in the spotlight.
u/halloween_spookster@lemmy.world · 2 points
I'm a little confused. The article says it was detonated at 4:44am. The video seems like it's fairly bright out. Is that just a good low light camera? Or is this a timezones thing maybe?

I hope the fucking Muscovites used cheap porous rebar and brittle concrete.
