    Imagine you're sunbather and military plane crashes 200 ft from you
    and you even don't turn you head

    You're nazi lovers getting really desperate

    US, NATO weapons stockpile ‘dangerously low’: USAF General
    “So we don’t have nearly what we had at the heart of the Cold War. Now you add that we’re giving a lot of munitions away to the Ukrainians — which I think is exactly what we need to do — but now we’re getting dangerously low and sometimes, in some cases even too low that we don’t have enough,” said Gen. James Hecker.

    Your mental retardation is breathtaking.

    Sound takes time to travel, he moved his head when he heard it, it was a lot more that 200 feet. Remember how lightening works?

    2nd attempt, and the bridge still stand.

    Time for the Ukrainians to come up with an effective way of demolishing the bridge.

    The foundation and the spans are far too strong.

    Time for them to target the cable suspension system.
    If the cable suspension system is damaged, the spans will simply collapse.
    But how to put the bombs there?

    I think they will just have to ram it with substantially large ship with a hardened bow*. It would be a nice scene with the Russians firing all they can and a well armoured ship just keeps coming..

    Realistically however I expect bunker buster bombs with extreme precision could destroy the columns. Maybe they can borrow some of those Chinese navigable balloons to carry them up. :)


    * this was hilarious for everybody here in 2020. Never ram an icebreaker. Who knew?

    Well. the suspension cable support system is probably the weakest link.

    But how to bomb the hilited area?
    Once the support is damaged,
    the cables will give way,
    and the spans will give way.

    $291 now btw,
    It may pull back, but slow and steady wins the race.
    We're in a bull market, but this one would be right here had we been in a bear. Or close.

    Russia tried that in the first 24 hours of the invasion. They couldn't even reach Kiev. And it turned finally in a disaster for the Russians. Huge amount of material lost.

    obviously they didn’t try hard enough, and rolled back easily, hence the stalemate.
