Explosion equivalent to 10 tons of tnt aimed at the Kerch Bridge. The picture on my link looks sick. I see some warped metal of the bridge structure, so it looks like this will be out of commission for months. I don't even see the point of Russia repairing it, it's just going to be shot at again. Also, I think that Ukraine wants it to not be destroyed, so that it can be used after the war.  So it may be cheaper to periodically fire missles again when it becomes repaired.

That's an old picture and not from the latest attack.

And why should Ukraine want to use a bridge to Russia after retaking Crimea? I'm sure Ukraine doesn't want to have a connection to Russia for many years to come. No bridge means no potential Russian invasion over that bridge in the future.

Because retaking Crimea doesn't mean that Russia would be friendly again. It's not like WW2 with Nazi Germany which wasn't a problem anymore after losing the war. Putin and his mates would still rule Russia

Meh, they may want to sell things to the Russians, but I see your point. Mabey I need to look beyond the dollar signs in this.
