the bridge itself looks really deep based on the height of the actual footpath, it also rocks sideways with the blast. Whatever the underside conduits were, looks like they took a significant hit.
the footpath looks like more of an afterthought on that structure. -

MOSCOW, 10 October. /TASS/. Deputy head of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev announced the need for a complete dismantling of the political regime of Ukraine, which poses a threat to the Russian Federation.
https://tass.ru/politika/16006719
"The Ukrainian state in its current configuration with the Nazi political regime will pose a constant, direct and clear threat to Russia. Therefore, in addition to protecting our people and protecting the country's borders, the goal of our future actions, in my opinion, should be the complete dismantling of the political regime of Ukraine," the politician wrote. on Monday in his Telegram channel
I expect the Russians will take Kiev in the next few months. From any logical perspective, taking a long-term point of view they simply can't not, if they don't Ukraine will just become a bigger and bigger problem for them. -

It's not really a bridge it's more a path and sightseeing platform/tourist attraction. The thing in the background is the friendship between the peoples thing the soviets built.
You can see the cringy little black decal the Ukies put on the arch after Crimea seceded.

there are better videos and other angles around, it's clear that the missile comes from below - so either it's some sort of low-flying cruise missile or it was launched from street levelThe following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

That whole area is right beside the Dniepr and the government district, including the palaces the Ukrainian glowies use as their HQs. It has been dug up a load of times and probably has a bunch of underground infrastructure. Kyiv has a lot of underground stuff like shopping malls, walk ways, etc it was intended that it would be useable as bunkers in the inevitable nuclear war with the west. -

Don't fucking YAO at me you gook. I'll transform your face into a permanent YAO with mind bullets. That's telekinesis holmes.
On the real: All you do is have a little think then assume you know everything. Now you're suddenly an expert on tactical matters when it comes to small cell sabotage operations in an urbanized environment. I may not be a tactician, or a soldier but at the very least i know about explosives, and explosive demolition, because i have educated myself on the matter. I also have formal education in Electrical Engineering. The Grid has redundancy built in at a lot of points. Here's the catch though, you go from high voltage transport lines to substations. Substations go to big transformers, which serve a sector that is further divided up by smaller transformers and various equipment. Did i say you should take out one tower? No. I just said how to do it. Say a city has 8 substations that get their input from 8 towers. By their design the substations can take load from other parts of the grid to compensate for fluctuations, but there is a limit to that capacity. If you take out all towers, even if they are put back up relatively quickly putting load on the grid again is a delicate operation. That will take some time. It can be done relatively fast, but nowhere did i specify this would kill a city forever. It will cause fucking mayhem though. And that's the last thing you want on the homefront when you're trying to conduct a war. -

I wonder if someone was targeting the seating area cos it was the widest part of the footbridge, and the footbridge was the target. Could have been some sort of private joke or attempt at poetic justice that they blew up the crimea bridge, so now they'll blow up the footbridge.
The footbridge would be used quite a bit by people who live/work around the government area of kyiv, eg. joggers -

you dont know any actual thing about explosives.
if you dont know the basics of construction, you can not be competent in destruction.
when people deploy explosives they usually have the resources and opportunity for just one target. if you have the resources to blow up all towers and substations in the city then maybe you should aim for something bigger and higher.
also bombing shits is not an end by itself, but rather just a mean, none expects it to be permanente specially on replaceable infrastructures. -

You wouldn't know how to recognize knowledge of explosives if it was staring you in the face fucko. Ask the other people that know a thing or two about a thing or two whether i know or don't. In fact Finn is a weapons expert who served in the US army, go ask him.
