The involvement of Defense Intelligence drones indicates coordination of efforts by Ukrainian special services during the attack on a strategic Russian facility.
A Ukrainian Magura V7 naval drone, armed with AIM-9M air-to-air missiles, was spotted in the Kerch Strait immediately after the explosion on the Crimean bridge. This is reported by “Militarnyi”.
The participation of Group 13 drones, a unit of the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine, may indicate coordination of efforts with the Security Service. In particular, the naval drones could have acted as a cover for the operation. This also strengthens the version that an underwater drone was used to blow up the bridge supports, rather than a classic overhead charge.
According to the SBU, the sabotage was the result of several months of preparation. During the operation, the structure was mined with a charge with a capacity of about 1,100 kg in TNT equivalent. The first explosion, according to official information, occurred at 4:44 in the morning.
The SBU noted that as a result of the attack, the bridge is in a state of emergency.
We will remind you that back in June 2022, the Ukrainian Defense Intelligence received complete technical documentation of the Crimean Bridge – presumably, it became the basis for the subsequent operation.
