Russia-Ukraine War - News and Developments PART 2

The train is not moving. My guess is the damaged train was a bonus for the ukrainians, if the truck did carry the bomb. I dont think the driver knew, so they couldnt plan for the train to be on the bridge, unless they bribed someone else but the guards ment to inspect the trucks.

I think there is more too it , don't believe in coincidence , they must have planned this for months and figured where it would do the most damage , i doubt they what just leave the rail bridge out.

Train not moving is an interesting observation.

That could have not happened by chance as well , maybe they caused some minor disturbance on the rail ( God knows how as it is heavily guarded ). But that would give them a much longer opportunity to hit the bridge and train at the same time.

Merkel: Europe Can Achieve Lasting Peace Only with Russia

Share on FacebookShare on Twitter


Former German Chancellor Angela Merkel stressed, on Thursday, that lasting peace in Europe can be reached only with the involvement of Russia, DPA news reported.​

During her speech at a ceremony dedicated to the 77th anniversary of the Suddeutsche Zeitung newspaper in Munich, Merkel affirmed that the Cold War will go on until a lasting peace is achieved with the help of Russia.
In addition, the former chancellor pointed out that the current situation in Ukraine was a “turning point”, reiterating that Russian President Vladimir Putin’s words should be taken very seriously.
“We all are strongly advised to take the words seriously rather than classify them as a bluff from the very start,” Merkel said.
“Taking words seriously, not dismissing them from the outset as just a bluff, but dealing with them seriously is by no means a sign of weakness or appeasement, but a sign of political wisdom – a wisdom that helps to maintain room for maneuver or, at least as important, even to develop new ones,” she noted in previous remarks.

Last week, Merkel highlighted the need to work with Moscow on a pan-European security architecture amid the Nord Stream gas leaks.
Merkel tried to improve relations with Russia and supported the Nord Stream-2 gas pipeline construction project. She also noted that Germany currently has “no reason to be complacent,” adding that this crisis could be surpassed with sufficient strength and self-confidence.

“by no means a sign of weakness or appeasement”

No offense but she should shut up.
Her energy politics is a disaster.
Her appeasement politics is a disaster.
Worst of all, she weakened the military to the point Trump wanted to withdraw the US from the Nato because he thought the US was cheated by Germany.

Her friendship to Putin made her blind. She said she knew Putin wanted to destroy the EU. She knew Putin hatred on liberty, democracy, good governance What’s her reaction? Nothing. She did not want to hurt Putin. She simply ignores Putin has hijacked Russia.

I suspect the train driver saw the explosion and tried to stop his train in an emergency fashion, but stopping the train takes time and he only managed to do it "just after" the explosion point, and not "just before" ie units of 10's of metres.. so probably just a lucky happy coincidence?
 
Yes , but you know how truck drivers are , he could have pulled off for a coffee , vodka or what ever and be on the bridge an hour after the train passed.

Hard to calculate what an unaware driver would do.

If there is a beacon somewhere on the bridge, you calculate the moment where incoming signal frequency stops increasing, and starts decreasing.

no if you look at the video you see the secondary explosion (train just happened 1-2s after the car exploded)
so either train was stopped or the driver stopped it after the explosion so he don't bring burning fuel int the city
 
What's your take on cracking this defence line? @jhungary ?

I wrote yesterday that they shifted push to Davydiv Brid direction, but this might have been a ruse, as they advanced a lot on the east instead.

I see RUAF being very worried that they lose control of roads going NW-SE, as their supply, and retreat routes are endangered. There is only 1 NE-SW road there, and it's near the river.

The two highways sit on the same concrete slab , if it was moved by the explosion than it would effect both highways , not just the side that fell into sea. This is something only the divers would know.

As for the railway bridge , to tell what damage was cause by the fire , Surely the tracks were all twisted so I don"t buy they could use with in a day,

But we will know soon enough.

as soon as the damaged wagons are removed , fixing the track , if that's the only damage and the bridge structure is not damaged only take several hours of work

Thankfully the new German government is not that delusional.


Germany stands with Ukraine against Russia

Germany stands with Indian Occupied Kashmir against India

Germany stands with Taiwan against China


Great to see the new Germany taking up leadership on key matters that impact the world.

That has a problem. The highway is north of the railway.
It is clear from videos that the highway is to the right of the railway.
This means that the truck is driving towards Crimea.

If it is the train that explodes, then that explosion should come from the left, but it is coming from the right.
