    Ukraine successfully attacked military targets around Kerch, and even took out air defenses placed directly on the bridge.
    It seems like Ukraine could have easily hit the bridge, but for some reason didn’t.
    One possible reason could be to give Russians the opportunity to leave.
    The Kerch bridge is supposed to be one of the most heavily defended targets in Russia, so it’s kind of crazy that Ukrainian drones could do almost as they pleased and just take out the defenses!!

    Exactly like we saw in the recent unprecedented attack on Saint Petersburg the 2nd largest city in Russia, during the International Economic Forum DAVOS, which is an important event for Russia with many prestigious international visitors.

    Thenwe had the extremely successful attacks on refineries around Moscow, just a few days ago.

    And now an attack on targets around and on the Kerch bridge.

    All these targets are heavily defended with air defenses. and Moscow is thee most heavily defended in Russia, but despite that Ukrainian drones were able to operate almost unhindered!!

    AFAIK it is not known how Ukraine does it, but the videos we’ve seen indicate that they are simply using evasive maneuvers to avoid the air defenses? I’m not a military expert of any sort, but AFAIK that shouldn’t be possible?
    Whatever it is, it seems like the Russian air defenses are next to useless in preventing Ukrainian drone and missile attacks, and the war has now come to Russia.

    An interesting and weird observation is that during all these attacks, when you see footage, there are no sirens to be heard!?
    For some reason the Russians don’t even care to warn their own citizens so they can seek shelter.
    Maybe a typical Putin strategy of obscuring the fact that there even is an air attack going on. So people only notice when the drones are flying overhead, and when their refineries and defenses burn.
