The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) struck the Crimean Bridge for the third time during the full-scale war, mining and damaging its underwater supports, the SBU announced on June 3.
Judging by the video, the Russians seem to have placed barriers around the supports as buffers against this exact sort of thing. The explosion’s centre seems to be at one of these barriers rather than at the support itself. It’ll take another drone to go through that hole and hit the support, I think. Of course, I’m no expert - I’m just trying to interpret what I’m seeing.
Looks somewhat underwhelming but on the other hand I am no demolition expert or structural engineer.
Probably not suitable for tanks or heavy supply convoys anymore.
would like to see them try anyway and make dozen or so tanks become submarines
Their navy does need to be enlarged…
Underwater shockwaves are no joke. The bridge is still standing though, wonder how long.
Torpedos explode below the target for a reason!
That displaced water has to go somewhere

Kind of makes me hope for a delayed reaction like the dam explosion in the movie Force 10 From Navarone.
Do you mean this one?
No. The sequel to that one.
How did I have no idea Harrison Ford was in that?!
1100 kg of explosives apparently, but yeah wish it was more spectacular
