TL;DR: Ukrainian forces conducted a complex drone and missile strike on Crimea, targeting various locations including the Kerch Bridge. The strikes were aimed at disrupting Russian logistics and gaining insights into Russian air defense positions. While some missiles were shot down, the attacks revealed vulnerabilities in Russian defenses and caused significant damage to key infrastructure.

Key Points:

  • Ukrainian Air Force launched drone attacks from Odesa toward Armiansk, Novoozerne, and Saky. Multiple explosions were reported near the Russian base in Novoozerne.
  • The drones used were cheap Chinese models, suggesting the goal was to divert attention from the main strike.
  • The main target was the Kerch Bridge, and Ukrainians reportedly used modified ballistic missiles S-200. Although the missiles were shot down, the attack exposed Russian air defense positions.
  • Ukrainians also conducted strikes on three important Russian bridges in northern Crimea, causing significant damage and likely forcing Russian forces to redirect military traffic.
  • The destruction of Russian logistics has led to delays, traffic jams, and potential vulnerabilities within artillery range of Ukrainian positions.
  • The ongoing disruption of Russian supplies has allowed Ukrainians to penetrate Russian defense in certain areas.

Glad he is back!

IIRC, he said he was starting to feel sick in the video a week ago. Sounds like he may have finally gotten better.
