    Can you sauce this with some context? Is the Crimean bridge a propaganda/extending Russo-imperialism project for Russians, as the kerch bridge was before the funni?

      No, no. Nothing of that sort.

      The Chonhar bridge connects Kherson oblast to Crimea.
      The problem is that this bridge one of the very few locations that Russians can use https://i.imgur.com/lluvBfW.png

      The bridge that they just bombed is the one shown in red. Dark blue puts Russians well within HIMARS range, while light blue puts them just barely at the end of that 50km HIMARS range.

      The other option that Russians can use to get to Crimea is through Kerch bridge.

      Imho, the bombing of the Chonhar bridge should be seen as the official start of the coming Siege of Crimea.
