htmlOn April 21, Ukrainian National Security and National Defense Commission Secretary Danilov said in an interview: If Russia passes through the route of Crimea Bridge , once such an opportunity arises, Ukraine will definitely attack the Crimea Bridge.
6 months later, the Crimea Bridge really exploded...
On October 8, a loud bang came from Europe's Black Sea and Azov Sea Kerch Strait . Soon, news from all over the world was reporting on the bombing of the Crimean Bridge.
Crimea Bridge is the longest bridge in Europe. In order to build this bridge, Russia has spent a lot of financial resources and energy. It connects Krasnodar in southern Russia and Kerch City in Crimea. As Russia's focus in the confrontation of "Russia-Ukraine", Russia's forward combat readiness supply has basically been achieved through this bridge.
It is precisely because the Crimea Bridge is so important to Russia that the bridge is regarded as a strategic "lifeline" in the eyes of Russia.
is equipped with the world's top defense system
on the one hand undertakes important transportation functions, and on the other hand, because it has special strategic needs, the defense and care enjoyed by the Crimean Bridge is incomparable to any bridge in the world.
Since the construction of the bridge, Russia has put a lot of money on the defense of the bridge.
First of all, it was listed as the first category of strategic target by the Russian side. It is equipped with the top defense system of the Russian army and is always protected by the S-400 air defense missile . It is said that this air defense missile can accurately strike the fifth-generation US F-35 fighter jets.
In addition, near the bottom of the bridge, there are ships on standby to guard at any time. The ship is equipped with an radar signal enhancement device to prevent missile from attacking the bridge from the air. As long as a missile approaches, the radar will release signals to attract missiles.
Even if there is missile and guidance radar monitoring, the Russian side is still worried and needs to install a large number of cigarette generators and electronic jamming vehicles on the bridge.
In case of emergency combat readiness, all smokers will work at the same time, allowing the smoke to cover the bridge. Under the water of the bridge, careful defense was also carried out, so there is no need to say more about various detectors. Every vehicle passing through the bridge must be scanned by "safety supervision".
It can be said that the Russian side has given the Crimea Bridge a "land, sea and air" insurance. Under this three-dimensional defense system, the bridge is simply an impeccable iron barrel.
Even though the Russian side had such careful arrangements, something happened to the Crimea Bridge and was "breaked" by a truck carrying a bomb.
Something unexpected happened, but as expected,
Crimea Bridge should be one of the most complex bridges in the world, and there are too many historical stories surrounding it.
Because it is located directly above the Kerch Strait, located in the Crimea Kerch Peninsula and the Russian Taman Peninsula. It has never been peaceful in history and has been patronized by Greeks, Mongolians, and Slavs. By the time of modern World War II , the Germans had also made up their ideas.
During the Soviet-German War , Germany planned to start from Caucasus to carry out lightning strikes on the Soviet army, and had planned to build a bridge here.
After investigation and demonstration by a group of German experts, it was found that this place is located in the earthquake zone and earthquakes occur from time to time. The cost and difficulty coefficient of building an cross-sea bridge was too high. After some infrastructure was built, I gave up the idea of building a Crimea Bridge. Finally, a temporary cableway was built at both ends of the strait to transport war materials.
After Germany's defeat, the Soviet Union took over the Kerch Strait and realized the strategic significance of building a cross-sea bridge. Therefore, based on Germany's original plan, the construction of the Kerch Railway Bridge began in 1944. The Soviet Union's infrastructure level was not well developed. This railway bridge, which was 4.5 kilometers in length, was destroyed by the flood in less than half a year.
From then on, the Kerch Peninsula and the Taman Peninsula can only rely on ferries to achieve mutual communication.
Until 2014, problems occurred in Ukraine. After a referendum, Crimea returned to Russia. Putin In order to stabilize the situation in the Crimea region, it formally mobilized Russia to build the Crimea Bridge and completed and opened to traffic in 2018.
Ancient history is not discussed. The Crimea Bridge has almost experienced all the vicissitudes of modern and modern Eastern Europe. It can be seen every historical event about Eastern Europe, which also deeply embellishes it with a layer of international politics.
is located in a place of right and wrong, and it seems that such a thing is expected. The bombing of the
bridge will have at least three major impacts
The bombing of the Crimea bridge has so far no organization has come forward to admit to being responsible for the matter. It is just that Russia unilaterally claims that it may be a terrorist attack planned by Ukraine.
I guess there will be no organization that dares to stand up and admit this, because this will be the biggest challenge to Russia since the Cold War . The bridge was bombed and investigated, but the three effects it had were inevitable.
First, someone is declaring war on Putin. The Crimea Bridge is Putin's masterpiece. From its planned construction to its completion and opening to traffic, Putin has invested a lot of effort in the Crimea Bridge. At the official opening ceremony, Putin personally tested the drive twice. As a result, the bridge was bombed on October 8, while Putin's birthday was October 7. Looking at all this, the organizers of the bridge bombing are undoubtedly expressing their dissatisfaction with Putin and even challenging Putin.
Second, the "lifeline" of Crimea may have a brief passive effect. As mentioned earlier, the purpose of Russia's construction of the Crimea Bridge is to further grasp the Crimea region. To hold this land firmly, it is necessary to ensure that all kinds of military and civilian supplies can be supplied normally. Now that the bridge has been bombed, it is not clear how much damage the bridge is, but it will inevitably affect Russia's original layout strategy.
Third, it may intensify the "hate" between Russia and Ukraine. The bombing of the Crimea Bridge happened to happen when the conflict between Russia and Ukraine was the most intense. Anyone would have locked the first suspect as Ukraine. Although Russia angrily stated that it was everything planned by Ukraine, Ukraine never admitted it.
What’s more coincidental is that a few months ago, the Ukrainian army had arguing with the Russian army and shouted, “You wait, only when the conditions are ripe, we will blow up this bridge.” The Russian army fired back and said, "As long as you dare to move this bridge, beware we will destroy you with nuclear weapon ."
As a result, the bridge really exploded. Ukraine is speechless, and it is impossible to clear if it jumps into , the Yellow River . In the eyes of Russians, Ukraine made a harsh statement at that time, saying that it was going to blow up the Crimea Bridge. Now that the bridge is blown up, who else can you rely on?
In fact, with Ukraine's strength, there is no technology to break through Russia's layer of defense and complete the bridge bombing. Perhaps, it is hard to say that some people framed Ukraine and deliberately provoked the situation in Russia and Ukraine to further deteriorate.
