Barges exhibited by the Russians will hardly help protect the Crimean bridge - Pletenchuk

According to a spokesman for the South Defense Forces, the Russians of the barges narrow the passage, where they expect an attack of the Crimean bridge because they do not have sufficient maritime components to fully control this process. The placement of old barges along the Crimean bridge will hardly help the occupiers to protect this object from Ukrainian attacks.

Dmitry Pletenechuk, Head of the Press Center of Strategic Communications of Southern Defense Forces, stated this in the telelorphone. "In fact, inventing something new is difficult. As for these structures, they are, first and foremost, to provide protection against surface drones. On the other hand, the last case that happened with a raid tugboat that just such a barrier was protected, says that similar ones The barrier is overestimated with the enemy in its effectiveness, "Pletenchuk said.

He explained that the Russians exposed these barges in order to narrow the passage and location where they expect the Crimean Bridge attack. "They (Russians, ed. ) Have no maritime components to control this process. How they did it in the summer of 2023. And so, of course, they try to provide these structures with these structures, in their opinion, security," - said Pletenchuk. In addition, according to Dmitry Pletenchuk, such structures can be erected against missile weapons.
