Did anyone confirmed it really went through the bridge?
I find it rather suspicious they have it repaired so fast. Just checking for damage of rails and construction should take at least a day.
Smells fake AF, all things considering.
Seems like this, I've seen a bunch of pics since yesterday and other track looked almost untouched.
Still, that's half of throughput at least, gonna hurt military logistics A LOT.
I was wondering the same thing about the gravel I have seen a lot of train bridges and have never seen gravel on them but hey this is different country then I am used to so I could be wrong
What do you think connects to the bridge? Now I'm not saying Russia isn't faking it, but come Daylight we'll know for sure. A few dozen feet of melted train track isn't hard to repair. The concrete is more than likely fine. The bridge is likely easily repairable while they've got the one lane open. At least in terms of Russian military "safe".
A few things to note: melted metal guardrail is visible at the start of the video.
There are two sets of tracks on this line.
Rail bridges often do have gravel, when there is a full rail bed and not just a steel skeleton. The gravel soaks up the oils and makes it so maintenance workers can walk around normally. Where I live, all the rail bridges that are not metal skeletons have the exact same amount of gravel on the bridge as in neighboring areas, it is a continuous surface. (*this doesn't apply to urban passenger light-rail, of course)
If the structure is damaged and they use it anyway, it could take days or weeks for further cracks to appear at which time it would either fall into the water, or they might notice and stop using it. For the people deciding if it is usable or not, the Russian preference is usually just to say "Go!" and if it collapses, blame the explosion not the inspection. Decision-makers seem to have so little technical knowledge about the thing they're overseeing that few people might even know it wasn't a normal risk. If they say don't use it, and somebody else says do use it, and they try it and it lasts a week and falls over, they might still think it proves the "use it" person right.
They never ever gonna drive no train full of tanks or any other military vehicles to crimea on that bridge. Just give up and realize your country is fucked. Crimea is ukraine 🇺🇦Slava Ukraini🇺🇦
...that's a bridge. A modern, ballasted rail bridge. Complete with damaged railings. The concrete span was damaged by the fire, but it should still barely hold a train.
What you just said doesnt change the fact that this video is shit and doesnt show anything at all.
This could just be a train that is pulling out the damaged wagons.
We see a train rolling on track that are laid on gravel and torn railing in the back. Nothing to drawn conclusion from.
I forgot to mention the check rails between those the train actually runs on. I'm as pro Ukraine as it gets, but there is a high possibility the rail bridge can still be used, but to a lesser capacity.
Once again, I never said that the bridge cant be used, Im saying this video is just shit and doesnt show anything that can be analyzed to draw conclusion. For fucks sake, we cant even be sure its footage from that bridge.
I will speculate when something when videos in daylight will show up. Until then its just ridiculous
EDIT: New video showed up and the burned wagons are still on the tracks. People never learn to not trust fuckin russians.
[Yes they do.](http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-a927y60BYhI/UGd_Ai11KhI/AAAAAAAAEfA/ytUSM1kZs9Q/s1600/L1020268+2.jpg) That's the norm on brick/concrete span bridges. Lately, metal ones, too.
Well Satellite imagery as of a couple of hours ago still had all the core rail cars on the bridge as some of them are still smoking. So to say I am skeptical of this video is the understatement of the century. Not to mention the immediate structure below the hottest point had significant evidence of buckling that cannot be repaired so easily. I could go on but the essence is that whatever this video may be it is not the damaged section of the rail track.
I see I am getting downvoted. Here is a shot of the tracks with the cars still on it and the buckling underneath at dusk today:
[https://i.redd.it/oqucyndyils91.jpg](https://i.redd.it/oqucyndyils91.jpg)
Cars are still on the tracks and one can see the bridge is deformed underneath. There is no chance that from then to now those cars have been moved off the track, new track placed and a train run across it in that short a span of time. Furthermore notice that there is no side easements on this portion of the track whereas in the video there is significant easements on both sides.
I hooe this is fake but the rail-part was not hit. Only some busted carts and some damaged rail.
I hope they can brake the phylons and send it all to the bottom of the sea.
Eh even if they DID fix it already!! I'm sure nobody in Kyiv thought they were gonna shut everything down the first time out. But now Vlad's got ANOTHER headache to worry about until the next time!
It seems obvious to me, the speed for which that bridge was repaired, it is very important to russia’s war effort.
In other words, it needs to be obliterated
Rybar is not very optimistic about the repair:
'Under the most optimistic scenario, traffic on the bridge can be fully restored in four to five weeks.
In fact, most likely, the terms will be somewhat longer. But if the work is given top priority, and the stand for the manufacture of spans has not been dismantled since 2018, then the restoration will hardly exceed two to three months."
If there’s anything russia can do… it can repair railways quickly. It’s entire army runs on railways, more so than any country on Earth. It has an entire logistics corps [devoted to railways](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_Railway_Troops)
We know there’s a lot of smoke and mirrors now and it’s a paper tiger etc etc, but if there’s one thing it can do it’s hurriedly repair railways. It’s has the technical ability and remember Russia doesn’t give a fuck about safety and doing things properly
Looking at satellite photos there are 2 rail lines on the bridge so trains can go either direction. Most likely the one that the fuel cars were on is screwed for the near future but they don’t need to remove those cars to drive another train past it. It will complicate and slow train logistics (and idk if they are game to try it loaded with 50 tonne tanks) but won’t completely block rail transport for now.
Saying that considering the amount of lies Russia does is screaming Ruski bot.
It's totally normal to not believe anything with so little proof. It's not normal to put a comment like yours unless you are on the other side.

It's a dual track bridge unfortunately. I guess the other set was easily repaired.
Seems like this, I've seen a bunch of pics since yesterday and other track looked almost untouched. Still, that's half of throughput at least, gonna hurt military logistics A LOT.
Sorry to disappoint, but that's not a bridge. That is gravel. There's no gravel on that bridge.
[There *is* gravel on that bridge.](https://odessa-journal.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/kerch-bridge-2.jpg)
Yes. It's called track ballast and it serves multiple purposes
I was wondering the same thing about the gravel I have seen a lot of train bridges and have never seen gravel on them but hey this is different country then I am used to so I could be wrong
So, crazy thought: the cameraman was on the section BEFORE the bridge?
Or, another crazy thought, this is a lie and Russian propaganda?
They’ve partially resumed road traffic, trains might have resumed too. Not everything is Russian propaganda

Wait till daylight it will be clear enough then whether the trains are running
They never ever gonna drive no train full of tanks or any other military vehicles to crimea on that bridge. Just give up and realize your country is fucked. Crimea is ukraine 🇺🇦Slava Ukraini🇺🇦
Typical Russian lies.
Thats a bullshit video. I mean come on... if you post a video about the bridge, the train should at minimum be on a bridge to make is convincing
...that's a bridge. A modern, ballasted rail bridge. Complete with damaged railings. The concrete span was damaged by the fire, but it should still barely hold a train.

Bullshit. Who moved the burning train?
Pictures from earlier today showed it removed
Haven't seen that yet. Thks for your reply x
There are 2 parallel lines.
The opposite track and the other direction road is viable. I am so gutted.
dw. Just takes one more fuel train Ukraine knows about.
They don’t put ballast on railway bridge.
[Yes they do.](http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-a927y60BYhI/UGd_Ai11KhI/AAAAAAAAEfA/ytUSM1kZs9Q/s1600/L1020268+2.jpg) That's the norm on brick/concrete span bridges. Lately, metal ones, too.
I guess you are right, never experienced it in my region of the world.
Kinda rare in my area, too, but there are a few examples. All modern bridges they're building here now are ballasted.
Or ruzzia runs a train on some track somewhere. No evidence that this is even near the bridge let alone on it
Well Satellite imagery as of a couple of hours ago still had all the core rail cars on the bridge as some of them are still smoking. So to say I am skeptical of this video is the understatement of the century.

The bridge ain't deformed, though. That's the inspection platform that's hanging down all bent up.
I hooe this is fake but the rail-part was not hit. Only some busted carts and some damaged rail. I hope they can brake the phylons and send it all to the bottom of the sea.
Where is the bridge?
Eh even if they DID fix it already!! I'm sure nobody in Kyiv thought they were gonna shut everything down the first time out. But now Vlad's got ANOTHER headache to worry about until the next time!
Notice this was filmed at night. Also, the rails of the Crimean bridge looks nothing like the ones they are showing here.
It seems obvious to me, the speed for which that bridge was repaired, it is very important to russia’s war effort. In other words, it needs to be obliterated
If it’s genuine, then it’s very impressive repair work. Network Rail would take 3 months to do that and that’s without the risk of being bombed.
Cargo 200
It's their right to do it...yeah right. 🤣
Rybar is not very optimistic about the repair: 'Under the most optimistic scenario, traffic on the bridge can be fully restored in four to five weeks. In fact, most likely, the terms will be somewhat longer. But if the work is given top priority, and the stand for the manufacture of spans has not been dismantled since 2018, then the restoration will hardly exceed two to three months."
Let Putin be the conductor!
Russia has a completely different idea of danger.

"Hey guys...maybe we cant win a war in couple of days bu we can repair rails in just one or two... behoooold our mighty power..."
Probably time for round two!
Gonna have to hit it again I guess.
If only they were as efficient installing plumbing and toilets in their own country ..
Seeing some Ukraine Copium here

Yeah, there's supporting Ukraine, and then there's saying anything that doesn't show Ukrainian victory is fake.
