The strike of the MLRS HIMARS of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the bridge near Melitopol is aimed at disrupting the supply of Russian troops on the Zaporozhye Front

The battle for the right bank of the Dnieper showed that the enemy, who regularly disabled the bridge and the pontoon crossing in Kherson, is capable of destroying the logistics hubs of the Russian army with methodical strikes, disrupting the supply of troops.

Problems with supplies may also arise on the Zaporozhye front. Back in October 2022, as a result of enemy shelling, the bridge over the Molochnaya River was partially destroyed. Through it, rail deliveries were carried out from Melitopol to Tokmak, from where provisions, materiel and reinforcements were distributed between units located to the north (on the Kamenskoye-Orekhov line). At this crossing, repair work was carried out, which were disrupted as a result of yesterday's attack by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, there are dead and wounded.

There are also alternative ways to supply the specified section of the front (for example, by rail from Berdyansk). However, the disruption of communications as a result of attacks by the Armed Forces of Ukraine as a whole indicates the need to strengthen the air defense of key logistics centers of the Russian army - the enemy is aimed at disrupting the supply of Russian troops on the Zaporozhye Front in anticipation of the offensive planned by the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The US-supplied MLRS HIMARS act as the main means of destroying transport infrastructure and military depots. Russian air defense systems, in particular the Pantsir-S air defense missile systems, have demonstrated the possibility of effectively combating American systems. If they adequately cover key facilities, the supply of troops will not experience problems from air attacks during the intensification of hostilities in the Zaporozhye direction.

that disabled the bridge and the pontoon crossing in Kherson

I don't remember anything about the pontoon crossing.

[Peter1First]

The pontoon was already apparently covered by electronic warfare along with air defense, although there were attempts on their part. I don’t understand another thing - why can’t they put at least a shell under every important bridge? If he doesn’t shoot down the Hymars, then at least he will signal the launch of rockets so that the repairmen from the bridge have time to jump into the bushes ....

As you can see from what is happening, no one thinks about it.

Here the enemy is trying to destroy the crossing and complicate logistics. And we?

[Alexandr2637]

What are we? We are not like that, and in general we have not started yet.

[Ivan Ivanov]

Yes, and they also say "it's useless to hit the bridges, the caliber won't take them."

There is another way:
Three teenagers have been detained for damaging transport infrastructure facilities in the Moscow region on the railway section of the Kursk direction, the FSB said.

But again we are not like that. Neither to hire other people's teenagers, nor even to shoot their own "for tricks"

[single-n]

We peck at the grain. And if we block the roads, then there will be nothing to curse. You will also offer oil and gas to "dear partners" not to sell !!! This is a loosening of the braces and generally blasphemy!!! You will reach 1937 and executions for embezzlement and work for foreigners. exploration!!!
In short, anathema and personal fu from those who have no analogues in the world. And then you will start holding rallies against corruption.

Come on. Everyone has long understood why we don’t touch Ukrainian bridges, railway nodes, etc.
Someone's commercial interests in Russia, which turned out to be more important than the state.
There is no political decision and as a consequence of the order of the army.

what are we???

bridges cannot be blown up! and in general we still have to go on the offensive on them ...

Hymars??? ahahah, 2 pieces won't change anything...

Hymars strike at the Antonovsky Bridge ??? ahahaha, our air defense knocks everything down, and what doesn’t knock down, we can easily close these holes ...

Kherson??? ahaha, this is a brilliant operation, we outplayed everyone, and Kherson is a suitcase without a handle...

judging by the ongoing jingoistic frenzy and extreme reluctance to descend to Earth from the planet of pink ponies, the city of Melitopol may gradually begin to prepare to become a suitcase without a handle...

This is not an operation, but a regrouping, in order not to get involved in an unnecessary slaughter. Kherson was well covered with Avaks from Romania, plus the destroyed bridge threatened to leave the troops on starvation rations if the river suddenly freezes in winter. But you don’t understand this, you don’t think, but hysteria.

Well, when the tanks reach, and if they reach, and when they go on the offensive, then we will talk, but for now you are giving out the offensive you want as a fait accompli. In fact, the army of the non-state is melting away.

We don't touch bridges. I heard the latest news about strikes on the bridge about Nikolaev half a year ago. Our Kherson was also. Although, according to the development of events, I have the impression that it is already possible to wipe the tanks with Napalm from dust.

[dmi.pris1]

Adequate air defense? And why was there no such air defense in the case of the bridge in Kherson? Well, there is no ideal weapon, and something will fly anyway.

[svp67]

Quote from: dmi.pris1

Adequate air defense?

So it is necessary to "pull it apart" to cover various objects. By striking at any bridges, across rivers, rivulets, canals and ravines, we not only impede their logistics, force them to spend funds, including material ones, on restoration, but also force them to "spray" air defense systems.

[ivan1979nkl]

NATO is destroying civilian infrastructure - we urgently need to recognize it as a terrorist entity

[Nikolay310]

and don’t forget to express your concern ... well, you can dance Kalinka-Malinka

[thrush68]

That is, there is no reconnaissance in dangerous directions? They arrived, shied away and dumped. The shell worked, well, there’s nothing to be done. And the fact that these cars went along the roads to work in another place, I don’t care ???? on the roads !!!! where is intelligence !!!! ?

[rocket757]

The strike of the MLRS HIMARS of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the bridge near Melitopol is aimed at disrupting the supply of Russian troops on the Zaporozhye Front

. Eh, reconnaissance, reconnaissance ... it is clear that they have not finalized in the rear, at the highest level of management, command !!! But that doesn't make it any easier. There is no control of the enemy’s territory to a sufficient depth, there is no sufficiently effective operational control of their strike assets !!!
How much more needs to be corrected, strengthened, and even created, practically, anew !!!

[Ulan.1812]

Well, they calmly beat on our bridges, and we tremblingly keep the bridges.

[FPEDDI_KPYGEP]

It smacks of the Kherson scenario. Russia left Kherson because vsuki destroyed the bridges and supply lines of the group, which became a causal withdrawal. If there had been no withdrawal, then they would have been killed or captured. The same will happen in the Zaporozhye direction in March.
And what prevents the RF Armed Forces from destroying the supply routes across the Dnieper River!?

[igorbrsv]

No, not the same. The troops were withdrawn for several reasons. The futility of further offensive in this area in the near future. Difficulties in supplying the army. Danger of dam failure. The troops were withdrawn beyond the Dnieper. This shortened the front line, facilitated the defense, and freed up significant forces to attack in the central and northern parts of the front. This will make it possible to further reduce the front line, to grind the most combat-ready units of the Armed Forces and fortified areas. After that, it will be possible to maneuver large forces, create shock fists and boilers. If you look at the map of hostilities, you will understand everything yourself. Why the bridges are not destroyed I don’t know for sure. But the nodes seem to be working out

[single-n]

Danger of dam failure

And what would it give the APU? And what prevented us from draining water from the reservoir ourselves? By the way, what prevents the Armed Forces of Ukraine from blowing up the dam today?

[Quiet Don]

Is the front line shrinking just for us? For the Armed Forces of Ukraine, is it lengthening or staying the same? And forces are released only from us, but not from the enemy?
And when grinding, our combat-ready units do not suffer losses?
All this is propaganda nonsense, and propaganda, as you know, can justify any failure by giving 100500 reasons.

[Horn]

Well, yes, well, yes ... Because of the danger of undermining the dam, the troops were withdrawn from the high bank to the low one. Into the pit

[alexey_444]

It proves once again that attacking is better than defending. In order to neutralize one chimars, you will have to catch up with a dozen shells, a dozen of your own tornadoes, so that it would be harder to take positions, a bunch of drones, etc. It seems that we lose less people during the defense, but then we will have to run away without supplies.

[edeligor]

After reading this opus ... here's what I want to share. Sorry if it's off topic. What is the main purpose of propaganda? - Sow in the ranks of the enemy disbelief in their weapons and leadership. So what am I talking about ... I see the work of the cisso workers, the joyful grunting of our fifth column too. Well, such articles in the same pocket. I am by no means a urapatriot or a sofa general, believe me. There is a war going on, hard, with far-reaching consequences, and from every written word and ill-conceived action there can be bad consequences ... Something like this ...

[Uno]

"To sow in the ranks of the enemy disbelief in their weapons and leadership." Do you think on both sides someone reads "enemy" news? Now propaganda works only for the domestic market

[75 Sergey]

Well, our leadership is something else - to shove people into a separate building on the front line, this is strong!
Such hands of drivers should be thrown to the enemies.

[16112014nk]

And when will our strikes disrupt the supply of the Armed Forces of Ukraine???

[igorbrsv]

Yes, you are already fucked up with your disruptions in supplies and the destruction of bridges. A whole team of you has already settled here and you all lament with one voice. What are you asking when? Send a request to the MO and do not lament more

First you need to open the hunt for these Chimeras with drones

[Tank destroyerSU-100]

The Wehrmacht is coming out hitting bridges, destroying the logistics of our troops. But the Russian army is kind to the bridges in the rear of the Wehrmacht's coming out, and is kind to them. After all, it is impossible to allow the gesheft of Russian business groups to suffer because of the destruction of bridges, using the transport network of the Reich's coming out to drive raw materials from Russia to the West. And the death of our people is not for these business groups, because they have long looked at Russia as a colony, from which it is necessary to pump out more resources and drive them to the West, they also consider themselves part of the West for a long time.

No, all these strikes are primarily aimed and carried out with the aim of sowing panic among the civilian population.
It is extremely wasteful and stupid to attach air defense to every bridge through every stinky speech.

[Fangaro]

Melitopol is now ours, Russian? Our.
Can Hymars hit farther and more accurately?
Can we strike closer and less accurately on the territory where the Armed Forces of Ukraine are located, but with greater intensity?
It is possible to send information in all media, in all social networks, in mass SMS to numbers that may be in the affected area, that after, conditionally, 18 hours, a hundred by one hundred kilometers will be fired. And do what you were warned about.
If I receive such an SMS, then I will hope that they will indicate the coordinates for which I need to run without looking back.

[certero]

In the event of the destruction of these very Hammers, then an uninterrupted supply is possible. It is impossible to protect 100% with air defense systems

[Yaroslav the Wise]

Actually, it should have been such news in Ukrainian news. Another year ago!!! It was our troops who were supposed to gouge the railway bridges and the paths along which the supply of foreign military * aid * for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. But everything happens exactly the opposite. This is sad.

[Horn]

Despite the assurances of our "Xperds" about the impossibility of causing significant damage to the railway infrastructure with missile strikes, the Ukrainians are successfully doing this. Well, yes, they don’t have our stoum xperds, they don’t know that the bridge cannot be damaged by a rocket! ..
