That was a good sized explosion. Hopefully the supports are more damaged than the Russians will admit.

Damage is minimal, comrade. Jetski destroyed. Bridge will remain closed for the next eight months due to... scheduled maintenance.

They estimate September for the first section and Oktober for the second.

Here's to hoping their estimates are optimistic.

For the people wondering about the waterborne IED: it’s a SeaDoo/Jet Ski with most of everything above the waterline chopped off and replaced with explosives and controls.

Thats a pretty big explosion. Hell yea.

Bullseye! I was not expecting such an explosion, nor defensive fire before the explosion. So it must have been a drone that they noticed too late.

In such an environment, what sort of mindless orc squatter still wants to remain in Crimea? They are not wanted there, they are connected to their ~~waterless toilet~~ homeland via a shoddy and vulnerable bridge, the disruption and inconveniences of daily life are constant, their midget mobster in the kremlin has proven to be fallible and crumbling in a Potemkin land where image is everything.

Nice job uaf!

I wonder how fast these water drones are. They have to be pretty large with these size of these explosions

If it’s a jetski, that means it could carry ~300 pounds and really move through the water fast.
