Quick Take: The USV's used in the attack today in Sevastopol appear to be similar to the one captured by RUS a couple months ago. In fact, I believe they are the exact same design.
1/2: RUS officials say a truck bomb is the source of the explosion on the Kerch Bridge. Because the RUS "National Anti-Terrorism Committee" is involved and not MoD, the bombing appears to be Putin plan to expand powers.
2/2: RUS members of the State Duma are also working on drafting a declaration for a Counter-Terrorism Operation in Ukraine. This will allow Putin to broaden powers, ban rallies, tighten censorship, restrict travel and expand the "Partial" mobilization.
Update: And here you have it folks! Right from the Chief Katsap's mouth. Putin wants to use the Anti-Terrorism Operation to expand his powers. Only good news is nukes were never mentioned and, I believe, are off the table for now as he pursues conventional means.
My preliminary assessment of the cause of the explosion on the Crimea/Kerch Bridge. This analysis is reliant on limited preliminary data and may change as more facts become available.
My guess is that the Iranian drones delivered to Moscow recently are on their way to Crimea where they will be launched against Odesa, Mykolaiv, Kryvyi Rih, etc...
