Ukraine has a deadline for blowing up the bridge again.

8. Yep.

They can do it. What does this tell us about the supply line and the integrity of the bridge?

3. And if there is a delay?

Do they send Darth Vader to give motivation?

5. HA! That's one of the most amusing things I have read all day.

Your check for repairs is in the mail, Vlad. Have fun waiting.

6. Given the general condition of Russian infrastructure I'm not sure I'd want to be the test driver.

7. Hopefully by July the ruzzian economy is in shambles so nothing of value will go over it and

the Ukrainian Army will have control of it anyway...
I can dream, can't I?

9. And by July, I want putler dead and Crimea in Ukrainian control again.

one lives in hope.

10. Oh this is a big f..king deal! The bridge is either unusable or very limited in weight

There entire supply line to Crimea and to the front lines in the southern Kherson oblast is severely limited.

11. Yes, a very big deal

It give the Ukrainians time to destroy caches of Russian army supplies that are behind front lines, with the USA HIMARS, of course. Makes offensive actions much more likely and winnable.
