Day 4 and still no train runs on the Kerch Bridge. No (military) supplies for Kherson and Zaporizhzhia since 4 days, at least not in large quantities. Remember, war of logistics and every day counts. #Kerch #Crimea #Ukraine



The Russians are still testing the line

1. If they have any competent engineers left

They know that they need to replace the bridge itself. The concrete making up the bridge structure came under intense heat, and concrete does not do well with high heat. It's likely too compromised to send even one car over it. The weight and vibration could make a large chunk of the bridge collapse.

2. Russia said they sent a train over the Kerch Bridge hours later.

Sure, Russia lies like a Trump, but who is (((Tendar)))? How would they know?

3. They said passenger trains were crossing.

If that's true, they were almost certainly only a few cars long and were pretty much empty. Sending long heavy freight trains over it is a different matter altogether.
