The Kerch Bridge has been hit again by Ukrainian forces, somehow those sneaky Ukrainians were able to infiltrate Russian defences and plant explosives against the pillars of the Kerch Bridge. Even better, it appears Ukraine hacked Russian CCTV to gain footage of the explosion.

Just following the successful Ukrainian raid on the Russian bomber fleet, those sneaky Ukrainians are at it again embarrassing the Russian military hierarchy. Better known as the The Security Service of Ukraine [SBU] now mostly conducts counter- espionage activities against intelligence services. The SBU has intercepted encrypted Russian phone calls and successfully targeted Russian generals and high ranking officials.

The SBU tracks down Russian spies, Russian collaborators and infiltrators and whilst has been successful lately, this was not always the case as the SBU had themselves been infiltrated by Russian agents. This was brought to light after the 2024 Russian invasion and occupation of Crimea; there were further embarrassments for the SBU in the following years. Since the 2022 Russian annexation of Crimea, the SBU has been better organised and functioning in an aggressive manner.

This time, ordnance was placed at the footings of the Crimean Bridge, according to reports approximately 1100 kg of explosives was placed at the underwater supports of the bridge. This occurred over a period of a couple of months and totally caught the Russians unaware. Whilst the explosion failed to take down the Kerch Bridge, it makes the Russians nervous and they will be worried about the next operation. I am waiting for the next SBU operation to be reported, you can be sure someing is currently being planned and implemented, we are just waiting for the plan to be executed.
