The Kerch Bridge Is Becoming a Road to Hell: Why It’s Failing Russia.

The Situation Around the Kerch Bridge

According to Espreso.tv: Oleksandr Kovalenko, a military-political analyst with the 'Information Resistance' group, has highlighted the Kerch Bridge’s current operations and its severe limitations in cargo transport. According to him, the bridge, though still functioning, fails to meet the necessary freight volume due to heightened inspections by border guards and the FSB since 2022. Kovalenko drew a comparison between the bridge’s conditions and the M14 highway, which connects Odesa, Melitopol, Novoazovsk, and extends into Russia as far as Taganrog.

Kovalenko warned that the Kerch Bridge could turn into a 'road to hell.' This stems from the fact that, despite its operational status, Russian military forces continue to actively move supplies along this route.

“We destroy—they bring in more; we destroy—they bring in more,”

The Use of Drones in Military Attacks

At the same time, Kovalenko noted the potential for Ukrainian drones to target Russian military trucks. Drones of the 'Hornet' type have a flight range of 200 km, enabling them to monitor vast territories. Notably, on June 6, it was reported that drone operators from the 3rd Separate Regiment of the Special Operations Forces had taken aerial control over a segment of the Melitopol–Chonhar route.

As a result, the situation around the Kerch Bridge remains tense, with a constant threat to Russian military trucks and active territorial oversight by Ukraine. Amid rising frontline tensions, controlling transport routes and the ability to disrupt them has become a key element in both sides’ military strategy. In particular, the increasing use of drones highlights Ukraine’s new tactical approaches to countering Russian supply lines, which could significantly alter the conflict’s trajectory.
