How Did The Kerch Bridge Survive Another Blast?

In this analysis, I look at the latest attack on the Kerch Bridge and discuss why the Crimean Bridge is still standing despite repeated attempts at destruction. We'll examine the challenges of blowing up bridges in wartime and why it’s harder than it looks, even with a drone attack Russia. This is a look at the Russia Ukraine war from a structural perspective. The Kerch Strait Bridge just took another punch to the face, this time, from an unmanned surface drone packed with over a ton of high explosives. But here’s the twist: it’s still standing. In this video, I unpack why one of the most symbolically important and strategically vital structures in Putin’s war machine has become a recurring target, and a recurring survivor.
