Yesterday, the Russian army carried out a shooting exercise near the Crimean Bridge . This was obviously due to concerns that the bridge would be attacked. Of course, in fact, and Ukraine definitely have such a willingness, but they did not have such capabilities before. However, currently, Western countries have provided long-range strike weapons including Seamass rocket launcher system to Ukraine, and Ukraine seems to be equipped to attack the bridge. ability.

To attack the bridge, Ukraine must first have the ability to strike remotely, which it could not hit before. Because it needs the ability to attack targets 180 kilometers away in order to reach the Crimean Bridge. Large areas of Zaporozhye and Kherson have been controlled by the Russian army. The Ukrainian army has no forward position to launch attacks there, and the nearest point from the Crimean Bridge is more than 200 kilometers away. But now the Harpoon missile is here, with a range of 90 to 220 kilometers. With a few changes and adjustments, it can hit the Crimean Bridge.

On the other hand, the fighters originally placed in Romania and Poland are coming back one after another, such as MiG 29. These fighter jets have been operating near the Crimean bridge in recent days. The same has happened recently with the US RQ reconnaissance aircraft.
There are currently two missile brigades on the Crimean Bridge, including Pantsir, Doyle, Beech, S300, and S400. They seem to have everything, a comprehensive three-dimensional defense system of high, medium and low levels. Moreover, the Crimean Bridge was designed to withstand nuclear strikes. In 2000, a 10,000-ton ship crashed into the bridge pier, but it had no impact at all. Therefore, the attack that can destroy the bridge must come from the sky. Therefore, the Russian army must guard against attacks from the sky.
