Geolocating.

This is coolbert:

Here with the take of H. I. Sutton the bombing of the Kerch Strait bridge.

"Attack On Kerch Bridge: Initial Geolocation Of Damage"

From www.hisutton.com the article by H I Sutton b08 October 2022.

"Attack On Kerch Bridge: Initial Geolocation Of Damage"

"This will undoubtedly go down in history as a textbook conventional strategic strike on vital infrastructure. Yet we do not yet know how it was achieved. The fog of war is still thick, just hours after the attack."

"Ahead of fresh satellite imagery, I have made a first pass at geolocating the damage, caveats apply. It appears to be south of the steel arches over the shipping lane."

"At least three spans of road appear to have collapsed into the sea. There are two sets of lanes and only the inbound (towards Ukraine) one appears to have been hit. It is unclear whether the other lane is survivable."

"There is no doubt that this attack, the day after Putin's 70th birthday, is a major success for Ukraine. Supplies in and out of Crimea will be disrupted. However, it seems likely that the remaining set of road lanes may be usable within a relatively short period of time."

"Damage to the rail sections is harder to determine. Heat damage may have affected the steel structure."

"The day after Putin's 70th birthday". Happy birth day Vlad. A birthday present for President Putin.. A nasty poke-in-the-eye to Vlad where it hurts.

"'Poke in the eye' means deliberately provoking someone."
