The Crimean Bridge could be processed hydrocycles-OSINT analyst (photo)

The Russian Federation claimed that the attack on the bridge was carried out by surface sea drone. However, on July 16, a new type of surface objects were recorded near the occupied Sevastopol. It looks like Kawasaki hydrocycle. On July 17, unknown objects attacked the Crimean Bridge. The H and Sutton analyst believes that Ukraine has modernized a regular water motorcycle for attacks. The first reports in the Russian Federation argued that the attack on the Crimean bridge was made by a sea drone.

The day before, on July 16, the invaders posted videos that see attempts to shoot on sea drones in occupied Sevastopol. Visually, they are very similar to a hydrocycle. Ukraine and the Russian Federation have their own developments in the creation of marine drones. Since September 2022, Ukrainian developments have undergone several iterations. The last unmanned device is probably a minimal modified commercial water motorcycle. The author notes that it is visually similar to Kawasaki Stx.

Some items have been removed. The feed has a large container, which probably has additional fuel. Another version that had an additional explosion in the container. Despite the fact that the water motorcycle is very small, it has a much larger visual profile than the custom -made kamikadze sea drones. However, it is cheap and easy to modernize. It is unknown whether they were used for blows on the Crimean bridge.

However, Defense Express doubts that the hydrocycle can pass several hundred kilometers from the place of possible start to the Crimean bridge. Because for this purpose it must have structural features that will allow you to act far from the shores. We will remind, on July 18 at the CNS stated that the occupiers sent students near Zaporizhzhya "to help" people in traffic jams to the Crimea. Roszma also wrote that the repair of the Crimean bridge after the attack will cost 300 million rubles.
