Blowing up the Kerch Bridge will not lead to capitulatory sentiments in Crimea - Tuka
Blowing up the Crimean Bridge is not as easy as it seems, and it is not a fact that this will properly affect the combat effectiveness of the Russian Armed Forces.
Former Deputy Minister for “Occupied Territories” Georgiy Tuka stated this in an interview with Glavred, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“According to our military experts, this facility is better protected than Russian nuclear power plants. How important it is from the point of view of military strategy, I cannot say - I am not an expert. I have heard opposing points of view: some say that it is not so important because its capacity is limited, others say that it is important because it is through this bridge that weapons, troops, ammunition, and the like are transferred.
In principle, it can be destroyed. If not completely destroyed, then at least make it unusable, as was the case with the bridge in the Kherson region. Theoretically, this is possible, but for this it will be necessary to use much more missiles than were used to destroy the Kherson (Antonovsky - ed.) bridge, and purely technically this can be done,” Tuka said.
At the same time, he recalled that provision of Crimea can also occur by water, which “we, alas, have absolutely no control over yet.”
“Therefore, I do not think that the destruction of the bridge, from a military point of view, will lead to capitulation sentiments on the territory of the occupied Crimean peninsula,” the ex-official said.
