Russia has released what it claims are the x-ray images of the truck suspected of carrying the bomb that blew up the Kerch Strait Bridge.
According to the cargo manifest they also released it was carrying rolls of Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene edge banding
The truck and trailer visible in the X-ray images is not the same truck as is visible in the CCTV camera footage released showing the truck being inspected though.
The truck visible in the CCTV footage is an International ProStar with a double rear axle. The truck in the x-ray image only had one.
Additionally the spare tire on the trailer is also located incorrectly, not as far back as possible as is seen on the CCTV footage. The side bumper is also not visible on the x-ray.
So as of this moment we still have no idea what the cargo of the actual truck was.
This seems like an attempt to cover for the fact that their overhyped security at the bridge was infact as incompetent as the rest of the Russian military.
Releasing these images to try to show that if the truck was the cause that the explosives were well hidden.
It reality, the check we saw on the CCTV footage was probably the only check the truck underwent and a proper security screening may have revealed explosives.
I assume that the FSB will release images of the arrested suspects' Sims 3 collection again soon.
It appears that the x-ray was of this truck as it entered Russia from Georgia at the Upper Lars checkpoint.
As the truck on the bridge was an entirely new truck and trailer, that x-ray is meaningless in regards to what was actually in the truck.
The mystery gets weirder. This bill of lading was released along with the other documents and the image of the x-ray. At this time this document appears to be completely unrelated to the FSB narrative as route, origin, destination has nothing to with this shipment
I can also independently confirm that both the truck and driver from this document are alive and well.
It appears that no Russian officials x-rayed the suspected truck at any time and have resorted to using a random x-ray and bill of lading on file to provide "proof".
They needed an X-ray and Bill of Lading from a similar truck to hide their incompetence and the overall lavt of security checks at the bridge.
They then just seem to have picked this one at random to share as "proof" and hoped no one paid to close attention to the details
