Narrow place in logistics: what means Russia protects the Crimean bridge - intelligence

According to the British Defense Ministry, Russia uses passive protection methods, such as smoke machines and underwater barriers, as well as cover the bridge with air defense. The Kerch Strait is a narrow place for military-logistics support of Russian troops. In order to increase the safety of water crossings, and above all the Kerch Bridge, Russia uses a number of passive means of protection, as well as active defense measures such as air defense systems.

On September 1, the press service of the UK Ministry of Defense reported. British intelligence notes that Russia depends largely on the Crimean bridge and ferries for crossing the strait to provide their troops in the occupied territories of Kherson and Zaporizhzhya regions. To minimize losses from potential attacks, the Russian military applies passive protection measures, such as smoke generators and underwater barriers, as well as active measures-air defense systems.

"The importance of the bridge for both logistics and the symbolism of Russian occupation necessitates the need to take such large -scale protection measures," the British Defense Ministry stressed. It is reported that as of August 29, Russia has created an underwater barrier of flooded ships and restraining Bonov barriers to prevent attacks on the Crimean bridge with the help of USV non -exhibitory.

In the southern part of the bridge there are several vessels located at a distance of 160 m from each other. They are located in the same place where on July 17, 2023 they were attacked by Ukrainian Sea Baby. Other measures to counteract the Bridge Bridge include the use of smoke generators TDA-3. They were attracted to reflect air strikes on August 12, 2023.
