Online video shows what protection of Crimean Bridge now looks like
A video that was described as showing multilayered protection of the illegally built Crimean Bridge on Oct. 4 appeared online on the Ukrainian Telegram channel Exilenova+.
A video showing the multilayered protection of the Crimean Bridge, built illegally, surfaced online on the Ukrainian Telegram channel Exilenova+ on October 4. The description claimed the footage was recorded from a train, stating that Russian forces had constructed multiple lines of defense near the bridge to safeguard it from Ukraine's Defense Forces.
Ships from Russia's Federal Security Service were also patrolling the waters to protect the strategically important facility in Crimea. On October 2, the Atesh partisan movement reported, based on their sources, that Russia's Black Sea Fleet was on high alert, with military units instructed to intensify sea patrols and conduct drills to thwart potential threats.
The Russian command anticipated possible attacks by Ukraine's Defense Forces, including on October 8, marking the anniversary of the initial strike on the Crimean Bridge. On this day in 2022, Ukraine's SBU Security Service carried out the first assault on the bridge, occurring in the morning following Russian President Vladimir Putin's birthday. This attack debunked the notion of the bridge being the most secure in the world.
