Destroying the Crimean bridge today is very difficult; military expert Oleg Zhdanov believes this requires powerful weapons.

It is not necessary to collapse the main span. You don't have to destroy the bridge. There are a lot of small spans that start right from the coastline. Or at least the junction of the bridge. The main thing is to block it in terms of the bridge so that it ceases to function as an artery. And then the Crimean peninsula turns into a dead end. If a successful counter-offensive operation, then it makes no sense for Russian troops to retreat to the Crimea. If they understand that this is a dead end, then it is more profitable for them to retreat to Mariupol, Novoazovsk and further to the Rostov region, to Shakhtinsk,” he explained.

According to Zhdanov, blocking traffic on the bridge for cars and trains is essential. Further, he added, the destruction of military infrastructure should be continued. This will turn the island into a demilitarized zone.
