An expert in the field of military technology and a retired colonel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Petr Chernik, shared his vision of possible ways to destroy the Crimean Bridge. In his opinion, this task will require a combined approach, including the use of cruise missiles and a large number of drones.
The expert stated this in an interview with Channel 24.
However, Chernik noted that at the moment Ukraine has not received support from Western countries in the form of the supply of long-range weapons. In this regard, Ukraine is forced to look for alternative solutions to achieve its military goals.
The expert also noted that Russia’s construction of an alternative logistics line by land indicates their understanding that the fate of the bridge may be in jeopardy.
According to Chernik, to destroy the Crimean Bridge, Ukraine can use the Grom-2 operational-tactical missile system (also known as Sapsan), which was developed before the start of a full-scale war. However, he also noted that at present the degree of readiness and possible modifications of this complex remain unknown.
In addition, Ukraine has a coastal missile system RK-360MTs “Neptune” with an R-360 missile, which has a flight range of up to 300 km. However, Chernik emphasized that for a successful operation to destroy the bridge, it is necessary to carry out a mixed salvo, including different types of missile systems.
Such statements by the expert show Ukraine’s serious attitude towards ensuring its security and readiness to take the necessary measures to protect its territory.
Earlier, Kursor reported that a military expert explained why Russia cannot shoot down Ukrainian drones. According to the expert, Russia is forced to recognize the need to copy Ukrainian mobile air defense groups and deploy them to protect facilities.
