    It is more for a show I guess, which is not to say they shouldn’t do it.

    Surely first step in invasion over the bridge would be to just hit that bridge with some rocket…?

        I think it can be for two things at once. Definetly more for show, but increases annoyance/makes a possible invasion more annoying.

        Obviously I imagine they have a way to blow up the bridge too which sounds far more effective.

            Would make sense that main invasion would be from the east, but a second front may be opened to try and collapse the “enemy” who would likely be stretched thin.

              If Russia tries to go to war with NATO, Kaliningrad is instantly blockaded and defeated. Russia can hide nothing in Kaliningrad

                Unless Trump withdraws, Russian war would have to be won in a week. By the time american logistical supplies and reinforcements start coming in strong, Russia is fucked.

                    If it organises yes. In it’s current istate it would take weeks before anything useful can be assembled.

                    Just coming back to this, Russia has the capacity to produce multiple times the amount of shells than the entirety of europe can put together.

      100% for sending a message.

      That bridge is pre-sighted for artillery or has its own dedicated missile just waiting for someone to hit the proverbial button.

      If it’s not, then that’s just bad planning.

      The real question is “do they wait for someone to try crossing before blowing it up, or just do it the moment Russian forces twitch in that direction?”

        if sappers can get to that bridge, then it can be just mined and if needed removed at milisecond notice. much more reliable, faster and more efficient than artillery
