The SBU said the operation "lasted for several months, with agents mining the “supports of this illegal construction.”
“And today, without inflicting any civilian casualties, the first explosive was activated at 4:44 a.m.,” the SBU said.
Emphasis mine. Genuinely curious how many more there are and what they’re waiting for.
While I obviously would like to hope that there’s a bunch more down there, I have a hard time seeing a situation where it would be preferable to alert your enemy to their presence rather than detonate them all at once.
I rather think he’s alluding to the possibility that there are more to make russians spend more resources looking or alluding to that this can/will happen again.
Does Russia have the ability or even surviving men with the skill to remove them?
I wish they didn’t, but they most likely do.
The statistics from the past 1-1.5 years has shown that russia has done a decent job at protecting the most experienced/specialised soldiers, while using fresh, unspecialised troops for the meat waves.
Still waiting for a Taurus missile or something to knock down some pillars so we can see a whole span in the strait.
Until then, let’s hope this damage takes a long time to repair, and that they do the thing where they say it’s “repaired” but then a truck goes into the water a week later.
This makes the Combat Engineer in me smile
