According to the report, Ukraine’s recent daring naval strike on the Kerch Bridge connecting Russia to the occupied Crimea Peninsula can be considered a masterclass in asymmetric warfare, former US war veteran and journalist Chuck Pfarrer told Kyiv Post. The explosion that occurred in the early hours of June 3 disrupted lifeline and vital supply routes to Crimea. The blast, targeting the reinforced concrete pile bundles beneath the rail span, was likely carried out by a Marichka long-range uncrewed underwater vehicle, severely damaging the 18-kilometer structure, according to Pfarrer. Ukraine’s Security Service, SBU, maneuvered the stealthy 6-meter Marichka UUV, capable of traveling 1,000 kilometers to the bridge’s vulnerable underside. The explosion likely dislodged major structural elements, with disturbed water indicating serious damage. The targeted support piles are crucial to the bridge’s integrity, now requiring complex and costly underwater repairs, a major logistical nightmare for Russia.
The report also said that the attack on the Crimea Bridge follows SBU’s large-scale operation codenamed Spiderweb, which destroyed over forty Russian strategic bombers in four military airfields across Russia on Sunday. The operation disabled 34% of Russia’s Black Sea cruise missile carriers. Combined with the Spiderweb operation, the strike on the Crimea Bridge further boosts Ukraine’s strategic momentum. Developed by AMMO Ukraine volunteers, the Marichka UUV evaded Russian electronic defenses and delivered its payload with precision. Its deployment, synchronized with the aerial bombardment, highlights Ukraine’s growing capability to launch coordinated, multi-domain operations that keep Russian forces off balance. The Kerch Bridge, which is a $3.7 billion project, has been attacked twice in the past few years. However, the recent attack hits harder, reminding Moscow that no infrastructure is untouchable.
It looks like Russia is crippled by Ukraine. The trucks cannot proceed to their deliveries because of the damaged bridge, The trucks are stuck. Most likely, they will go back to their origin. Businesses will be shattered if the bridge cannot be repaired immediately. It is deadly and scary war
