The strikes of the Russian Armed Forces on bridges in Kyiv can be explained by the solution of several problems, according to the Telegram channel “Military Chronicle”.
According to the publication, the destruction of complex logistics facilities by drones may be associated with “testing vulnerabilities”, the need to create a long-term transport effect and forcing Kyiv to redistribute air defense resources.
“However, what is being observed in Kyiv now, apparently, is only the beginning of a more extensive campaign, within the framework of which many more drones could fly both over bridges and other objects,” the publication concludes.
Earlier, Advisor to the Russian Academy of Missile and Artillery Sciences, Lieutenant Colonel Oleg Ivannikov, in a conversation with the Paragraph publication, said that Russia’s attack on the North Bridge in the center of Kyiv would greatly complicate the logistics of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
