So whats this about a coming UAF offensive in the Zaporizhia region ( spelling ) ?

Any merit to it? More info? Just saw some pro-russian talk abt it

Impossible to say exactly how much is there or how successful it will be, but there's definitely been a buildup of Ukie forces at that front.

Expectation is that they'll try and push for the sea (Mariupol or elsewhere) to isolate Kherson. Alternatively to try and take the ZNPP from the east.

Maybe they're using their mobile experiences to hit opportunistically wherever they see an opening

Hopefully they wont try the ZNPP, that just feels really really scary
DONT FIGHT NEAR NUCLEAR PLANTS YOU IDIOTS

You have recent attack on Kerch bridge, that would play into NATO "shaping operation". Ukrainian command openly stated that they have reconstructed 10 brigades and another 10 newly formed.

They have already put heavy pressure on russian logistics and air foreces. After all, we have recent surge of videos, showing planes falling down. Imagine right now that they would push with 20 brigades from Zaporizhzhia in direction of Mariupol, cutting of land road to Crimea.

The story pretty much writes itself. The only question is whether there will be meteorological conditions to launch attack.

whatever I feel like said:
So, has anyone seen the Feline Apologist lately?

Maybe when Null threadbanned him. After all he came up here recently and asked for list of people to ban.

Maybe

Regarding the Kerch bridge, i dont think this was done by NATO/UAF
If they really wanted to knock it out of comission, i feel it would have been better planned with multiple attacks. Its damaged, but pretty much working again no? Looks like small scale internal sabotage or accident to me

The status of the bridge I think can be best summed up as "uncertain"

On the one hand russia is making a massive show over how merely a few hours after the splosion it was back in operation and traffic was merrily streaming across it, thus proving the literal holocaust of a war crime against humanity ukraine committed against the innocent bridge was actually no big deal, though it has been noted that its only one half of the bridge being used and that only light car traffic is currently being permitted, and it would be monumentally fucking retarded for russia to re-open a strategically vital damaged bridge for traffic without making 100% sure the rest of it wont fucking collapse in the near future given how much of a humiliation this would be for the government both domestically and internationally and how badly it would fuck up whatever chance they had in kherson and crimea....

.....on the other hand russia has repeatedly proven it is really *is* just that fucking retarded, and given how "lie about how an absolute clusterfuck has all been fixed and everything is fine to your boss so you dont get blamed for reporting a clusterfuck" is a time honored and cherished russian tradition, its entirely possible it is 100% structurally fucked and about to fully collapse but this was translated up the chain of command to "basically undamaged, and fully safe for use again"

I guess time will tell what the situation truly is, and if the bridge is still halfway operational I guess anuddah truck of peace will need to comissioned

Wow, I expected the explosion to do a lot more damage. A lot of work and planning probably went into stopping rail traffic at Kerch for 6 hours. Starting to think the days of worthwhile sabotage are gone, and it's not that things are sturdier than they used to be (though they are, really, or at least the standard has gotten more durable), it's more that it's so easy and cheap to fix most things these days as logistics, coordination and communication between different sectors of any army has gotten so much easier, and the advent of so much heavy machinery has made tasks that would take weeks at minimum, take hours. If this had happened during WW2, that bridge would have been out of commission for weeks at least. And even if the bridge went down the flow would have only been slowed - ferries are always an option and many would probably be called within a day or two.

Same exact deal with Antonovsky bridge.
The bride was undamaged. Okay it was damaged but we can just drive over it (vewy vewy slowly and with light loads). Ahaha foolish Westoid the damage doesn't matter, we can use ferries.
Bonding between rebar and concrete weakens with temperature increase due to fires. High temperatures also affect the compressive strength of the concrete itself and start crack formations. A large explosion will also create uncertainty as the blast could have similar effects to an earthquake.
The Interstate 85 collapse in Atlanta was caused by three crackheads accidently starting a fire.

It's simply unreasonable to resume rail transport, that's a career ruining decision for any engineer. Not in Russia though.
