Kyiv officially confirmed the failure of the Kryukovsky Bridge in the Poltava region

In the Kremenchuk district of Poltava region, the railway infrastructure was damaged. Because of this, the train schedule and routes had to be changed.

This was reported by the press service of the Ukrainian railway company Ukrzaliznytsia.

Thus, Kyiv indirectly officially confirmed the failure of the Kryukov Bridge in the Poltava region.

In particular, the changes affected the Odessa-Kharkov and Chop-Kremenchuk trains. The railway management solved the problem in an original way. Passengers are transported to Kremenchuk, where the railway traffic has been suspended due to the Russian strike, from the nearest stations by buses. Other trains in the region are running late.

According to Ukrzaliznytsia, this situation will continue for at least several days.

There are suggestions that the problem lies in damage to the contact network. But judging by the nature of the damage, everything is much more serious.

Sometimes there are complaints against the Russian command about the fact that the Kryukovsky and other bridges across the Dnieper are still functioning in the fourth year of the SVO. It is unlikely that such criticism is justified, because information about the plans and capabilities of the General Staff of the Russian Federation is not open and should not be so. But the issue of political decisions cannot be left out of the equation either.

[common man]

On the one hand, the average citizen does not have any information about how difficult and justified the task of destroying bridges is. It also cannot be ruled out that in the future these facilities may be needed by the Russian military..
Holy simplicity. Who will give them to us whole?

Well, maybe they'll run away so fast that there won't be anyone to plant mines, and nothing to plant mines with.

[your vsr 66-67]

All this - the building of the Ukrainian government, the bridge across the Dnieper is a real balm for the soul!
I'm waiting for the Ukrainians at the Rada!
p.s. Now Bobik probably won't get out of the kennel, and his partners, the dog's children, will stop running into Kuev! He might even get a beating...

It seems that we are not planning to go to Poltava region yet, so adding Iskander is quite possible...

Ukrainians not the Germans, who can run away to the West without looking back.
Rather, these crazy people will be able to lay mines on bridges, anywhere, and only then quickly grease their heels with soap so that they sparkle with fear...

somehow you and the history of the Great Patriotic War are not good, they mined and mined a lot, the most famous attempt to destroy Krakow, our intelligence officers did not allow it, in the wake of the film "Major Whirlwind" was released

But my grandfather shouldn't have done that.

[Comrade Beria]

Most likely, everything has been mined long ago. All that remains is to supply power to the detonators. Or, the old-fashioned way - to light the fuse.

Most likely, everything has already been mined long ago.

unlikely, what if it detonates when hit by even a weak drone? They are of course xoxos, but they are not fools!

[Comrade Beria]

They are of course xoxos, but they are not fools!

How in this case?

[Popandos]

How in this case?

Mining can only be done so brazenly when retreating, someone even expressed the opinion that they blew it up with the help of FPV

[TermNachTer]

Of course they will blow it up, for those who rule Banderland - Ukraine is not a homeland, but a territory where they earn money. And what will happen to it after, they do not care at all, at least scorched earth will remain. The problem is that the damage is such that it is repaired in a few hours, well, a couple of days and then everything works again. Another option - to hit with one or two UAVs - every night.

[km-21]

In war, no one will officially confirm strategic information. If Kyiv talks about damage to its bridge, it means it is doing so for some purpose. But this does not mean that the bridge is really seriously damaged.

Nobody claims that the bridge collapsed, but the arrival of 12 "Geraniums" did not just gently caress the bridge structure - problems, albeit temporary, are guaranteed for the enemy. And further strikes are quite likely, and in the near future. I am copying part of the text from my comment to today's topic about "Magyar".

Twelve Geran-2 attack UAVs hit key bridge crossing points. The following damage was identified:
• Destruction of the asphalt concrete surface of the automobile part with potholes up to 2 m² and a depth of up to 40 cm.
• Deformation of steel truss structures of the spans: the braces and lower chords of the central spans were damaged, which led to a decrease in the load-bearing capacity.
• Destruction of the mechanisms of the lifting ramp of the drawbridge - the gearboxes and slewing bearings that ensured the operation of the drawbridge mechanism failed.
• Damage to power cable lines (6 kV) and bridge control lines, which led to the shutdown of the lighting and dispatching system.
• Partial break in the contact network of the railway track passing through the bridge, which completely blocked the movement of electric locomotive traction.

[km-21]

Firstly, out of your alleged 12 arrivals, only one has been visually confirmed.
Secondly, judging by the sound, the bridge was attacked by Geranium-1.

[carpenter]

Quote: km-21

Did you see this, or are your Ukrainians again claiming this and you believed it?

[Denissdaf]

At least three arrivals were filmed by fishermen and the videos are available on Telegram channels.

Already 12!!? And everywhere they write that 1 or 2,,,

[Montezuma]

Quote: Fitter65

Well, yes, one Geranium created so many problems for the huge bridge. They started installing multiple warheads?

According to Ukrzaliznytsia, this situation will continue for at least several days.

There are suggestions that the problem lies in damage to the contact network. But judging by the nature of the damage, everything is much more serious.

[tralflot1832]

By the way, in the video from Ukrainian night fishermen (an omission of the TCC or the fishermen themselves are TCC workers) at the moment of the impact on the lifting span of the bridge, you can see something like a car in the affected area. (A few seconds before the boom, the lifting part of the bridge was illuminated).

[dmi.pris1]

But this is already more interesting, with the backlight...Finally they started to act, according to all the sabotage science

[fata-morgana]

Quote: km-21

But this does not mean that the bridge is actually seriously damaged.

And the trains take a detour...

[vitosia]

maybe they are coming, maybe they say they are coming, or maybe they are deliberately letting us bypass)))

[fata-morgana]

And the oil refinery nearby on the shore was deliberately set on fire: let it burn!

[alexoff]

Probably also through the railway bridge in Zaporozhye, which is below the Dnieper Hydroelectric Station and which is less than 50 km from the front line.

[Enotovich]

We need some more supplements to be sure.

[fata-morgana]

Quote from the article: "...the problem lies in damage to the contact network. But judging by the nature of the damage, everything is much more serious."
Well, there were so many guesses this morning! Some commentators were holding the bridge up with such virtual effort that they almost fell. Now --- we are watching how they will be trying to virtually destroy the piles so that we don't get them!

[Popandos]

The problem lies in damage to the contact network.

this is not a problem at all

[Fisher]

How to say. If the bridge is not used for a day or two, and then repeated, then it will become a problem, especially if one bridge is not enough, and the "old" one should not be forgotten.

[Popandos]

How to say

Well, everything is simple here, there is no contact network, we launch a diesel locomotive, a steam locomotive, or even a tractor on a railway track.
The lack of electric traction does not stop the movement of trains; it delays them, yes; it stops them, no.

[Comrade Beria]

Sometimes there are complaints against the Russian command about the fact that the Kryukovsky and other bridges across the Dnieper are still functioning in the fourth year of the SVO. It is unlikely that such criticism is justified, because information about the plans and capabilities of the General Staff of the Russian Federation is not open and should not be so. But the issue of political decisions cannot be left out of the equation either.

Thin

[Comrade Beria]

A brief summary from a bridge builder about the damage to the Kryukov Bridge:

Lifting is now impossible, the ramp is damaged, all cables and mechanisms need to be replaced. Restrictions on the passage of trains before performing verification calculations of the strength of their elements are no more than 50% of the minimum class of elements of the span structures. As a result, the bridge will not be able to be lifted (was it even lifted?) and half-weight trains will not be allowed to pass

[Glagol1]

Everything is obvious - one of the clearest objectives of the war is to disrupt the supply of the enemy army. The scourge of the Wehrmacht in the war with the USSR was the actions of partisans on the railways. In today's conditions, the safety of the bridges across the Dnieper, across which dozens of supply trains of the Armed Forces of Ukraine pass every day, is at the very least an incomprehensible stupidity. Especially with the full understanding that all of them are easily and quickly destroyed remotely - a stationary, large target. At short range, this is the FAB-500 with a planning module (70 km), at medium range - Iskander (500 km) and at long range - Kalibr. All of these products carry a 500 kg warhead - this is enough to destroy a bridge even with a single hit. But no, the bridges are standing. And even recent experience (and very bitter) loudly suggests that the bridges must be destroyed. As soon as the dancers bombed the Antonovsky Bridge, the Russian Armed Forces immediately optimized for the left bank of the Dnieper, leaving Kherson to the cannibals. And leaving Kherson is not only handing over our unfortunate civilian population to cannibals - it is also goodbye to the plans to attack Nikolaev and Odessa. That's how, with a few cheap missiles, the Ukrainian Armed Forces threw our army beyond the Dnieper and secured Nikolaev and Odessa. What can I say? Nothing. A bitter tear, from the fact that dozens, if not hundreds of our people are burning every day, 16 trillion for the war in 2025, and the box opens simply - bomb the bridges across the Dnieper - and the war will end. But no. Someone has to think of this. And where can we get it?!

[Montezuma]

Quote: Glagol1

All these items carry a 500 kg warhead - this is enough to destroy a bridge even with a single hit. But no, the bridges are standing.

Really? Did you know that the bridge in Zatoka near Odessa was repeatedly hit by Iskanders, but it held up, and traffic was quickly resumed after repairs? Several FAB-3000s at one point could have possibly accomplished the task of destroying the bridge span, which has a huge margin of safety. Don't forget that large bridges have always been considered objects of strategic importance, and therefore were built reliably, taking this circumstance into account. So all this talk is useless - no one will send strategic bombers to distant bridges to be slaughtered, and it is not always possible to reach them with heavy FABs from the UMPK.

No. This was a problem - which the Wehrmacht solved quite quickly.

[km-21]

Over the three and a half years of war, Russia has repeatedly tried to destroy the enemy's rear infrastructure. They bombed air defense systems, energy, oil refining, and gas infrastructure. They even tried to attack the strategic bridge across Zatoka several times. But they never finished what they started.

This is Russia's main problem.
Too much bragging,
and too little implementation.

[MichIs]

You reason apolitically, don't you? . This is not "too little implementation", this was agreed upon with our "esteemed Western partners" - they do not supply the lop-eared with the means to destroy the Crimean Bridge and our energy infrastructure, and we do not completely take out their energy, bridges, etc. But agreeing with our "esteemed Western partners" and especially with the pig-faced Kamies is the same as agreeing with a bear that it will not attack you if you do not attack it. Now this has become clear even to "the greatest, purest democrat of Russia". And so our belated actions began. Well, the fat one, and the political card also favored us with Trump, at least a little. Otherwise, we would have continued playing "deal", while the boys would have died in frontal attacks.

[Montezuma]

Quote: MichIs

we have reached an agreement with our "esteemed Western partners" - they do not supply the lop-eared with the means to destroy the Crimean Bridge and our energy infrastructure, and we do not completely take out our energy, bridges, etc.

Can I see the text of the agreement?
And the attacks on Russian oil refineries, on the Zaporizhzhya NPP, the attempted drone strike on the Kursk NPP on August 24, the repeated attacks on the Druzhba oil pipeline - are they not considered an attempt to destroy the energy sector?
Not to mention Operation "Web", which is apparently also the result of "dealing". But the damage done was considerable.
If there is anything that the "Western partners" fear, it is an escalation of hostilities to a dangerous threshold, which could lead to a clash with NATO.

[MichIs]

1. You mixed the soft with the hot - missile strikes on infrastructure and invasion of Kursk region. 2. Who will show you these "agreements" - it's all "under the carpet"? 3. It was precisely the violations of these "agreements" that became the reason for our continued attacks on the infrastructure of Hryunland (and some other factors).

[Andobor]

The air defense has been practically destroyed, Western missiles have run out, the energy sector's export potential and maneuvering capacities have been cut off, making Ukraine dependent on Western supplies, the gas infrastructure has been cut off from the West's ability to use underground gas storage facilities, there is no oil refining at all, the Supreme Commander is kind, so far he is only fighting the West, he does not want to cut off the fraternal people from benefits, I hope it will come to light that this will not work, and there is no problem in completely destroying civilization in Ukraine.

[Svetlana]

Even if the drone misses, they will announce catastrophic consequences. Misinformation of the enemy in war is normal

[km-21]

There is objective data. A fairly detailed photograph of the impact site is shown. The photograph shows damage to the very bottom of the truss. Several elements of the supporting structure are missing. Apparently, the bridge's functionality is impaired. But the damage is not critical, and restoration will not take too much time.

[fata-morgana]

Quote: Egoza

Dear Egoza, running away is no problem! They will switch to Russian and will queue at night at the MFC for new passports and benefits. So opinions are divided: some are for mining, and the other part (less wealthy) will guard this bridge...

[eleronn]

Oh wow!!! He took the bridge and independently "went out" somewhere with the words - to hell with it all!

[Frank Muller]

Indirect hints are not yet official information, which would most likely be discussed only after the destruction of a dozen strategic bridges. Or at least four, as after the action of "grandfather" Kovpak's unit near Sarny during the Great Patriotic War. But now it is not the Great Patriotic War, although the RF Armed Forces, it seems, will have a little more capabilities?

[Sergey3]

This bridge will be blown up anyway, so it’s better to finish it off with an Iskander.

[Cartalon]

Now the question arises: where will Ukraine’s logistics go if such strikes are constant, how many air defense systems will have to be used to cover them, how much effort will be spent on constant repairs.

[MichIs]

And what if we also go from the territory of Belarus to the western borders of Hryunland? But, "No." And why "No"? - this is a military secret, you serfs should not know, this is a great secret.

[kill the fascist]

We need to send our guys a couple more flowers there so they can see how things are going at that bridge. The Banderogeys are such liars.

[ergh081]

Armenian radio reports: there are two options for bombing bridges in the 404 territory: the first is that Putin and Trump agreed in Anchorage (well, they didn't bomb for 3,5 years of war), the second is that all our bosses (Putin, Belousov, Gerasim and all the moo-moo) ran off to PPR in China and Vladivostok, and a drunk lieutenant was found - in the fourth year of the war, who pressed the right button. Now everyone is looking for this lieutenant

[Sergey3]

I suspect something a little different: the geranium was flying past and the operator, at his own risk, turned it where it needed to go, and wrote in the report that it was shot down and he lost control.

[MCmaximus]

This is the lieutenant who was going to be kicked out of the army during the war.

[Sergey3]

Was it too hard for the author to find a normal photo of the bridge? Will this do?!

Judging by the joy in Kyiv, the bombing of bridges should be made regular, and there are enough bridges there. Let them rejoice constantly. Of course, one Geranium won't make a difference, but what if several fly into the bridge? And who said that it's easy to fix, especially if it flies in every night?
