The Crimean Bridge remains fully operational after Russian forces successfully repelled a series of Ukrainian naval drone attacks. Despite Kyiv’s attempts to portray the operation as a success, the strikes caused no significant damage to this strategically important civilian infrastructure.
Following several temporary closures for security checks, traffic across the bridge resumed as normal. According to available information, Ukrainian forces launched multiple underwater and naval kamikaze drones in an attempt to strike the bridge’s pillars. However, Russian defenses, including protective barriers and counter-drone boom defences, successfully neutralized the threats.
The first attack took place in the morning. LINK A drone detonated against a protective barrier near one of the bridge’s pillars, causing only superficial damage to the outer fencing.
The second attack was reported in the afternoon. Another drone struck a defensive barge positioned as part of the bridge’s security system, exploding harmlessly without affecting the main structure.
The third drone was destroyed by a Russian Lancet loitering munition before it could reach the bridge, as seen in released footage. The incident reportedly took place at about midday.
Ukrainian Propaganda vs. Reality
Ukrainian media and officials initially claimed a major success, declaring the destruction of the bridge’s pillars. Th operation was accompanied with the propaganda campaign. Ukrainian media immediately shared an obsolete video of the smoke screen covering the bridge, allegedly confirming the declared damage.
However, the attacks failed to inflict any meaningful harm. Thus, the attack failed and all threats were successfully eliminated without compromising the bridge’s structural integrity.
Kyiv may attempt similar strikes in the future, given its continued focus on targeting the Crimean Bridge. However, the effectiveness of Russian countermeasures suggests that such efforts are unlikely to succeed. The latest attack underscores Ukraine’s determination to achieve a media victory. No damage to the bridge could shape the military operations on Ukrainian frontlines, since the Russian military does not use it for military supplies. With no real damage sustained, the Crimean Bridge continues to function as a vital link between Russia and Crimea, while Ukrainian claims of a successful strike have been exposed as exaggerated propaganda.
crimea bridge stands strong! 💪 😤 😂🤣😂
let’s see how long. if russians won’t flatten ukrs and nato pretty soon there won’t be any bridge and many other places.
it’s funny how everything catastrophic that happens to russia is always at some indeterminate point in the future. a bit like a desperate and idiotic attempt at frightening people to manipulate them.
is that stolen technology?
bla bla bla, just empty rhetoric from ukro fangirls. it gets boring after three years
mais uma bravata ucraniana, mais um fracasso
i take it that putin is still staring at the tip of his nose dreaming.
but i’m actually projecting i’m talking about my faggot self again.
yes, you probably did, you who wrote under somebody else’s commentary name. hehehe 😂
so when is the next parade in moscow, certainly putin and gerisimov have been busy planning something
crimea bridge still stands strong! 💪😤😂😤😂
good thing the chinese built it that way….
the mi6 has not provided with enough arguments for ‘vanya’ to blame russia this time. weak sauce.
vanya next parade sa fagcisco gay parade–you tiresome americunts desperate for attention after your senile tranny husband divorced you
army ghey parade
russia getting hit and embarrassed from all angles now. the fact is ukraine have embarrassed russia once again showing that nowhere in russia is safe. 2 hits on the bridge and maybe more bigger to come. how did russia even let this happen. once again russian incompetence and weak militarily protecting the homeland.
blah blah blah the crimea bridge still stands strong! 💪😤😂😤😂
ukraine and the uk and eu proved that the bridge can be hit. next time will be bigger. there is certainly some damage to the concrete which will require repairs.
which is why it is necessary to invite those countries to openly join this war as they are proud to be involved.
who is going to do that? the oil salesman in moscow?
the point is your friends are losing and can’t do shit about it.
only ukraine can brag about its failed military operations while it is daily receiving drones in face. reverse midas effect.
piecelikcock illiterate hillbilly tantrums cuz russia has humiliated all nato
where is the black sea fleet? does it do anything but hide? how can the ukrop roam all over the black sea with impunity?
just remember me : for how long now has ukraine tried to destroy the kerch bridge and take back crimea ?
the protection is working fine while vanya’s ukrainian friends still receive their full complement of kaliber missiles in the face at regular intervals.
raining down kalibr missiles on your ukronazi chums.
every single bridge in ukrainian territory and specially those on the dnieper is now fair game. just imagine how much complicated ukraine’s armed forces logistics would become on the eastern bank of the dnieper river if every bridge there were dropped. it would also be very detrimental to ukraine’s industrial and economic capacity in the east of the country. just a couple dozen iskanders could get it done.
zaporozhye bridges and dnipropetrovsk are already in range of fabs (now extended to 95 km umpc) i wonder why they´re intact?
hehehe 😂 what a loser comment.
russian navy vessel moskva is excellent u-boat.
you mean the ancient tub that sank itself? it was supposed to be scrapped years ago but the mayor of moscow’s wife wouldn’t hear of it. so they tried to fit it with new launchers but the hull wasn’t designed for it and the first launch caused a catastrophic failure. the navy brass breathed a sigh of relief; that thing was hideously expensive to keep afloat.
what is the purpose of the russian black sea fleet if it can not protect kerch straight?
what was the purpose of taking crimea if the black sea fleet is so impotent it is incapable of protecting the coast of crimea?
just remember me : for how long now has ukraine tried to destroy the kerch bridge and take back crimea ?
the protection is working all right.
no it is not the bridge has been successfully attacked three times now. this time was the worse, it is like there is no security at all anywhere in russia
adjective like ‘successfully’ are not appropriate when such attack, like the one of today, has a big fat zero result. shit happen in war, but propagandists like you trying to exagerate these makes you completely ridiculous.
vanya slurping mulatto jizz in oregon desperate boring
that’s “strait” you illiterate fool.
the media in britain was loving this…..they have egg on their face just propaganda bs from the nazis in kiev but strange how quick british media hadakl this on line. one would think….
flatten kievs naz1 hq
things are out hand . attacking the bridge does nothing but message they will send more poor ukrainians to death .
ukraine attack is a reminder how erdogan outmaneuver putin nd take over syria with lqaida hts.putin is fuckin slow like snail.highly risky for entire russia.
wither attack on russian facility has been foil or not wither lot or less bombers were destroy or not the point is ukraine has launch surprise attacks and still will continue if real military man cant stop nazis.
enough is enough. putin should send some british ship to the bottom as ‘thanks’ for all that kindness.
again… why bridges on dniepr still intact? russia needs info on the coordenates? tit for tat! civilian bridge attacked again… no bridge on dnieper would be intact if this was a soviet union. soviet union killed thousands of banderites and sent other thousands for siberia in 1945-1955… and a the largest cia slaughter on history… yes, us was trying to help nazis in ukraine since 1945! but capitalist russia will never learn…
if the bridges were destroyed there would be no way for hohols to get to the front – where the russians can dispose of them. let the enemy come to you…..
if the kremlin needs info on ukraine railways/energy facilities/industrial (all of them)/bridges and dams also… i could provide the coordinates!
despite sporadic delays and distractions, the criminal west always knows that sooner or later they have no choice but to go right back to the painful terms of the ukraine’s surrender, and that there’s no escape from this dismal outcome!
the desperation is big now. vladolfs tranny bridge is the proudness for boy fanclub so they can travel to ghey party in sevastopol, what tragedy will happen if the bridge closes?
small minds plot how to blow up bridges that serve no military value
