Regarding the difficulties destroying major engineering structures.
The Ukranazi should contact the Israelis who rigged WTC complex for demolition on 911.
I was going to say the same thing – but now I won’t. Ha!
A truck laiden with explosives at best could only do superficial damage to a structure as a bridge. With the epicenter being over a meter above the bridge the expanding gases would mostly rebound off the bridge surface into open space. The explosive would have to be planted in an enclosed space near critical structural members of the bridge. A bunker busting missile would be able to do the job. Just goes to show the level of incompetence of NATO. They couldn’t even destroy four pipelines, attacking the same pipeline twice leaving one untouched.
If you really wanted to destroy a bridge, you would put the explosives at the bases of the piers.
