No doubt they are operating on the rules of no firing into Russia, as the next ideal target would have been the factory unit at the far end that constructed the bridge sections and the previous repairs.

The fleet in Sevastopol would also be a nice target, especially when rearming.

Their army commander confirmed that this week, but they don't have any long-range Ukrainian ground-to-ground , or air-to-ground weaponry, although some is in development.

Si if I am reading this video correctly it is both lanes effected, one had dropped and the other has too, the start is looking at the damage to the far lanes of the bridge then as it scans across to the other two lanes you can see they have dropped as well at 11 secs onwards.... outstanding, Russia is claiming it was a surface drone.


Additional footage.

Plenty of videos emerging of a Russian Su25 crashing near coastline at Yeysk, reason for crashing unknown. Pilot reported dead.

Well, things do not seem to be quite so clear-cut. Why on earth would these 'assassins' want to get rid of an opposition figure too?

Better copy of the ejection video.

Whether or not it's true that they are advancing, that video looks very much like a fake.

Whoever took the footage finds it highly amusing.
Evidence of local opposition following that crash into an apartment building last year?

On 17 October 2022, a Sukhoi Su-34 from the airfield accidentally struck an apartment building in Yeysk, killing at least 13.

Usual caveats apply (pro-Russian poster) - claim UK tech was used in the bridge attack.
