Russian attempts to protect Kerch Bridge have included installing a protective barrier on the south side of the Kerch bridge.
The Kerch Strait Bridge is a 19km parallel road-rail bridge connecting the Kerch Peninsula of Crimea, Ukraine, to the Taman Peninsula of Krasnodar Krai, Russia.
The barrier consists of barges that have been placed by the bridge to prevent Ukrainian naval drones from hitting it.
Russia has placed a protective barrier of seven barges just south of the Kerch bridge to prevent Ukrainian ‘kamikaze’ sea drones from taking out the key artery.
The measure, reported by usually well-informed Russian social media channels, is a further sign of Moscow’s determination to protect the bridge amid Ukraine’s increasingly successful attacks on Russian installations.
