Ukraine wants to attack here, the United States acquiescence

Since obtaining a variety of long -range strike weapons provided by NATO, Ukraine has warned more than once to launch an attack on Russian targets. It is directly named Crasonadar, which connects the Russian Peninsula to Crimea's carving Red Strait Bridge Essence In the past, the United States, who resolutely opposed the targets of Ukraine's attack on Russia, this time did not vaguely say "this is a fair goal."

The US "Power" website said on the 8th that at a press conference held on the day, when asked whether the "Hamas" rockets in Ukraine used the US aid to fight the target, a senior US official stated that although it was impossible It is revealed that the specific goals and further information are revealed, but "the Russian military capabilities and logistics nodes in Ukraine are absolutely fair goals."

The official gave a positive answer when he was asked to include the Red Strait Bridge.

It is reported that "Russia has seized Crimea from Ukraine since 2014, but the United States does not recognize it belongs to Russia." Therefore, US officials' statements are actually confirming that the Ukraine has launched an attack on the Kerchi Strait Bridge. Not long ago, Major General Dmitry Malchenco, Major General of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, has publicly declared in an interview with the United States that once Western aid remote weapons are received, this will be aimed at this connection to Crimea and Russia. Bridge.

Carving the Red Strait Bridge is a two -purpose road and railway bridge across the Red Strait, connecting Crimea and the Crasonadar region of southern Russia. Russia has since delivered the main channels for delivery of supplies to Crimea. Russia attaches great importance to this bridge, and has allocated 3.5 billion US dollars to build the longest European bridge. On May 15, 2018, Russian President Putin also personally attended the opening ceremony of the Cicht -Chi Strait Bridge and drove a truck to pass the bridge.

But this lonely bridge is indeed easy to be attacked. It is reported that the Russian army had previously carried out targeted deployment near the Chican Strait Bridge, including a missing missile attacks that misleaded the bait with radar reflex beside the bridge, and the release of the cigarette curtain to cover the bridge.

However, the most fundamental factor that hinders the Urpical Strait Bridge to launch an attack on the Kichi Strait Bridge is that the Ukraine does not have a suitable weapon. Among the existing remote strike weapons of the Ukraine, the maximum range of the "dot -U" tactical ballistic missile is 120 kilometers, and the accuracy of the hit is not suitable for attacking the slender goals such as the sea bridge. "Anti -ship missiles can also be used to attack ground targets, but its range is limited. Unless the latest extended model is obtained, it is impossible to launch an attack from the Kichi Strait Bridge from the Ukraine Control Area. And another long -range strike weapon provided by the United States- "Hamas" rocket launcher was only about 70 kilometers when the rocket launched a rocket, and the difference was farther. However, the report mentioned that if the Ukrainian Army has won the "Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS)" in the future, its maximum range is close to 350 kilometers, and theoretically, it will have the ability to attack the Red Strait Bridge.

However, the power of these weapons assisted by the United States is not enough to pose a threat to the cross -sea bridge of the reinforced concrete structure- "fish fork" and ATACMS missiles use 500 pounds of warheads. Small, only half of the former. Moreover, in the process of flight, they will inevitably be intercepted by the Russian air defense missile forces along the way, and their attack success rate is even more pitiful.

"Haimas" has the ability to launch from the maritime platform

The report acknowledges that no matter what ways, these remote strike firepower must be aimed at the weakness of the bridge with high precision, and may need a large number of launch to cause serious damage to the bridge. After all, "bridge is very difficult to be destroyed by devastating destruction. Usually, a stronger 2000 -pound weapon is required to achieve sufficient destruction effects."

It is worth noting that this does not mean that Ukraine will not give up an attack on the Red Strait Bridge. "Even the only symbolic attack will release a clear signal, and it may temporarily hinder the transportation passage through this traffic channel for transportation. Military and economic supply.

In short, the US media acknowledged that in the case of limited capabilities, the Black Army's attack on the Red Strait Bridge may not be carried out in the short term, but the statement of US officials once again confirmed that "this possibility cannot be ruled out."
