Logistics Stroke: Damage to the Chongar Bridge slowed down by the occupiers by 50% - intelligence

The Russians built a ponon crossing within 24 hours after the attack on the Chongar bridge, noted in the British Defense Ministry. This indicates the importance of this route in the logistics chain of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. On June 22, the Ukrainian Armed Forces struck the Chongar bridges between the Crimean peninsula and Russia occupied by the Kherson region.

As a result, military transport got to the front alternative routes by at least 50% longer, which was a serious problem for the logistics of the invaders. The press service of the Ministry of Defense of the United Kingdom announced this on June 28. These bridges are part of one of the two main road routes that carry out transport connections between Crimea and the Kherson region.

In addition, the route through the Chongar bridges is the most direct route from the Crimean Logistics Center of Russia in Dzhanka to the Zaporozhye direction, where Russian troops are reflected from the Armed Forces counter -offensive. Therefore, the temporary closure of this route has led to the vital Russian logistics columns reached the front alternative routes for at least 50% longer, British intelligence said.

The British Ministry of Defense also reported that the occupiers almost certainly after a day after a strike on the bridges built a pontoon crossing, which is likely to move exclusively military transport. "The speed at which an alternative crossing was built indicates how vital this route is for Russian military efforts in occupied Ukraine," the Defense Ministry summed up.
