OREANDA-NEWS Military expert Vladimir Popov, in an interview with MK, named the purpose of the strike on the bridge in Kremenchuk, Ukraine, and revealed the consequences of the attack for the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU).

The source recalled that bridges, highways, and railway facilities are being damaged in the interests of conducting a special military operation, and there is no political context here. Damage to the infrastructure deprives the Ukrainian troops of the possibility of transporting ammunition, weapons, and personnel rotation.

"Blocking the transfer of reserves is very important. Therefore, we need to make it as difficult as possible for the enemy to communicate. And this is being done quite competently, planned and correctly," Popov said.

He also estimated the number of drones or missiles needed to disable the bridge. According to the expert, if the intermediate supports are accurately hit, one powerful rocket is sufficient to cause detonation and collapse of one large span.

A Geranium drone strike by the Russian Armed Forces (AF) on the Kryukovsky Bridge in Kremenchug was carried out on the night of September 7, an explosion occurred, and then a fire. The Military Chronicle channel called the strike the most unusual attack by the Russian army in recent times. It was clarified that it was not possible to destroy the bridge, but it was damaged and would be closed for repairs for several days.
