This statement was made by the spokesman of the Ukrainian Air Force Illia Yevlash in an interview with NV.
He said that destroying the Crimean Bridge would weaken russian capabilities in Crimea, as they would not be able actively supply equipment of various types there. In addition, a strike on the bridge would strongly affect Moscow's reputation, as this object is a symbol of the russian federation's triumph.

"It takes a lot of missiles to do that because the bridge is huge. There are certain places that need to be hit to make it difficult to rebuild the railroad and road surface. Specialists are working on this, they have been analyzing this bridge for a very long time. We have seen some pretty effective strikes against it already, with explosions destroying the roadway. They know where to hit, but it takes time and moment," the Air Force spokesman added.
According to Yevlash, the Crimean Bridge is now one of the most protected objects in the world. russians have placed air defense brigades there, and it is closely guarded.
But, when there is a threat to the facility, russians make smoke screens and try to camouflage it.
