Sivkov: There is only one explanation why Russia does not destroy bridges in Ukraine
Russia has weapons that can destroy the bridges through which arms and equipment are supplied to Ukraine.
Corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Missile and Artillery Sciences, military expert Konstantin Sivkov said this on air on the Red Line TV channel, PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to the expert, the only explanation why bridges are still functioning in Ukraine is a political decision. There is no such solution to destroy them.
“We have ammunition and they have now begun to use it - this is the UFAB-1500, a 150 caliber guided glide bomb, the warhead is a ton. This bomb could have broken a bridge, especially since the planning range was 40 kilometers from a drop height of 12 kilometers. That is, there are such weapons, so that’s not the point here. “Hymars”, it has a warhead of only 95 kilograms. This is not the point here - this is a purely political decision, pure politics, such a refined policy,” said Sivkov.
Retired GRU Colonel, Candidate of Military Sciences Vladimir Kvachkov previously stated that Russia, with a political decision, had the opportunity long ago, without even launching missile strikes, to destroy the transport infrastructure of Ukraine. According to one version, this was prevented from being done by a number of Russian oligarchs who have an interest in maintaining export routes to the West through the territory of Ukraine.
“Not a single act of sabotage on the railways, not a single rail was blown up on the Ukrainian railways.
Although what could be done - a train is coming, it was blown up, then Su-25s fly in, finish it off and fly away. And the group moved away 15-30 kilometers, sat down somewhere and flew away, or moved to another area.
That is, it was quite simple to disable the railway network of the Armed Forces of Ukraine using sabotage methods; this is a completely standard task of special-purpose brigades. We are taught this! Not a single decision was made,” said Kvachkov.
