Unfortunately it is going to need another hit. I just read 1 lane is still useable and they will be opening that up soon. Rail bridge not too bad either and may only need minor repairs. Episode 2 still ahead.

Insane, Ukraine actually went and managed to blow Putin's precious bridge, on his birthday

By all accounts, Putin had a blast!

More psyops from Ukrainians, they are now blaming FSB for blowing up the bridge.

Implications of what the loss of Kerch will mean to Russian supply lines. Their logistics for their entire southern war effort are going to collapse

Aside from the guy not having experience leading ground combat operations, Russia's air force still doesn't have air superiority... so guy's totally had a record of success.

Russia's Defence Ministry on Saturday named Air Force General Sergei Surovikin as the overall commander of Russian forces fighting in Ukraine, Moscow's third senior military appointment in the space of a week.
The change follows the reported sacking earlier this week of the commanders of two of Russia's five military regions, as its forces have suffered a series of dramatic reverses in northeastern and southern Ukraine in recent weeks.

All this is awesome for the Ukrainian morale, however, I would lay off the memes if I were the Ukrainian government and military. Mocking and humiliating a man who has his finger on the button of worldwide Armageddon could really bite you in the ass.

Putting myself in Putin's position, if I somehow became an insane dictator with nothing to lose, backed into a corner likely facing public execution should my war fail..... I'd be sending a few hundred megatons of firey glowey retaliation their way and see who's the real laughing stock.

Precisely. The target audience is the people scared of Putin. Ridicule him and show that he can't do anything about it and it'll embolden people

Once this is all over I think they should force Russia to surrender their nukes before they let them back in to the international economy, you don't get to threaten the world with them and be part of it.

But I am told that having the mutually assured destruction option on the table is a good thing.

Personally, I think everyone should get one. For them to be of any real use, you would need a lot of other countries backing you up as well. Rogue nations like Russia would have no power if the majority of the world opposed them.
