Receiving much pushback for calling out #GenMilley's @thejointstaff comment on Ukraine as 'landlocked'.
Critics argue that 🇷🇺 control over the #BlackSea renders 🇺🇦 effectively landlocked.
However, even a broad interpretation of 'landlocked' is flawed. Here's a 🧵why:

Claiming UKR is landlocked militarily requires overlooking Crimea's significance to Putin. It's key in controlling access to the crucial Caspian Sea, Don-Volga Canal, and a major portion of Russia's extensive inland waterway system. #Ukraine #MilitaryPerspective
In 2021, Putin emphasized the waterway's importance, pledging billions for development to connect the Black Sea and the Baltic.

Folks, sharing some thoughts on the still ongoing Russia-Ukraine War, esp in light of recent developments.
Let's see how it goes!

At the outset, I'll begin with a sincere 'R.I.P Ukraine'.
I'll explain my POV in the thread.
Feel free to disagree.
However, before moving ahead I'll leave this chain of thoughts tweeted just over 9months ago here.
Glad to see I was atleast partly correct!

Anyone with a reasonable thinking head on his shoulders would have come to a conclusion by now that Russia is just not going to stop before either Ukraine is utterly destroyed, or a Russia-friendly regime replaces the Kiev Comedian that has gone amok.

1. Crimea Bridge explosion occurred 1 week ago.
It will disrupt dramatically Russian invasion logistics through their main and safest route. Follow a longer 🧶 to evaluate the damage at Crimea Bridge, from a failure analysis engineering perspective.

2. How long repairs will take? That's the key question.
In order to try to answer is necessary understand, considering the bridge design and construction aspects, damage details, evaluate possible structural damages, in order to access how complex such repair will be.

(The event) The explosion occurred at automotive bridge towards Crimea, by a detonation between piers 237 and 238. The bridge girder collapsed. Other girders fall from its piers, some damage to bridge towards Russia occurred and a fire in a close train fuel cars was ignited.

The terror continues from #Russia tonight.
But before the details on that, as usual a quick link to the start of yesterday's thread for those catching up on news from #Ukraine.

#Zaporizhzhia was subjected to a new wave of rocket attacks in the city.
Rescue workers are already at the scene, there are reports of casualties. #Ukraine has asked not to publish photos yet, but this CCTV gives you an idea of the power of the incoming #Russia|n missiles

Dass die Brücke(n, denn eigentlich sind's ja 2, ein Highway und eine beidseitig befahrbare Eisenbahn) aus russischer Sicht von immenser strategischer Bedeutung ist, setze ich als Konsens für alle Erklärungsversuche jetzt einfach voraus. Das wird ja wohl niemand bestreiten wollen.
Die Russen haben die Lkw-Bomben-Theorie in die Welt gesetzt.
Sogar unabhängig von der Herkunft der Quellen erscheint diese Theorie aus verschiedenen Gründen nicht sehr plausibel.

Here's an article about a sustained fire under the Interstate-85 bridge in Atlanta in March 2017.

• I am not a civil engineer, and have no access to damage assessments
• the rail tanker fire on the #CrimeaBridge was on, not under the bridge

Sample engineering assessment of damage to road bridge after rail tanker fire underneath it.
• important to know what burned and for how long
• Figure 3 shows the mapping of certain damage indicators to the piers near, and span above, the rail tanker.

Unbelievable: After de facto admissions by top Ukrainian officials of responsibility for suicide bombing of #Crimea bridge, Security Service of #Ukraine anonymously admits that it is behind suicide bombing of #crimeabridge. This was #Zelenskyy decision.
