Ukraineโs SOF has destroyed a railway bridge over the North Crimean Canal near Rozdolne in occupied Crimea.
Strike drones first destroyed the bridge itself before returning the following night to hit repair equipment and the remaining structure.
The bridge became the first Russian bridge in Crimea to be completely destroyed by strike drones since the start of Ukraineโs campaign against military logistics infrastructure on the peninsula.
/2. One thing that stands out compared to similar bridge strikes is the attack profile.
Instead of simply hitting the bridge deck from above, the drone operators flew their drones in from the side, targeting both the supports and the structure itself.
Honestly, this is something I've been wondering about since the beginning of this strike campaign against Crimean brigades. Judging by the results, the bridge appears far more vulnerable to side impacts than strikes on the roadway alone, making me wonder why this approach wasn't used earlier against bridges in Armyansk or Chongar, etc.
/3. Rozdolne bridge location. Without it Rusian railroad logistics is impossible further than Kerch peninsula.

โก๏ธโ๏ธ/1. UkrArmoTech launches factory trials of the new tracked APC โSkif,โ Ukraineโs new domestically developed tracked armored vehicle shaped by frontline combat experience.
/2. Over the course of the full-scale war, Ukrainian forces have received a significant number of tracked APCs of the U.S.-designed M113 family, delivered in various versions.
Despite its age, the platform has proven effective, reliable, easy to maintain, spacious, and with adequate mobility.
Based on this experience, Ukraineโs Ministry of Defense ััะพัะผulated requirements for domestic manufacturers to develop a vehicle that would surpass the M113 in protection and firepower, while maintaining comparable mobility.
The โSkifโ APC was developed within this framework, incorporating proven components and systems from international manufacturers involved in producing armored vehicles derived from the M113 platform.
/3. The โSkifโ APC is designed to transport troops and provide fire support, operating in all conditions.
It carries a crew of three and up to eight dismounts, with a rear ramp for access, and is built on a modular platform for multiple variants.
