Drone attack 2 weeks ago may have damaged Kerch railway bridge as well as the road deck.

Would not want to be running AIS as a Uke or Russian flagged ship in the Black Sea for the foreseeable future and as an owner would be looking to reflag ASAP

You can look here. Here. Here.

Not here. Not here. Not there. ...or there.

See everything is fine. Nothing to worry about.

The remaining doubt is his leverage. An actual shrewd move.

Yeah, the orcs have been playing the "we will select your inspection" game for a long, long time.

Spoiler alert: they cheat. they lie. they steal.

Updated list of US aid to Ukraine. $43B since the war started. Money well spent, particularly considering the trillions we spent during the Cold War and onwards to contain Russia.

If the Kerch bridge is in range of HIMARS are they capable of doing significant damage?

They used them to knock out the Antonovsky bridge at Kherson

I don't think anyone's Navy is really set up for this type of threat. I'm betting Taiwan is looking at this right now and putting a fab together.
After looking at several pics, I came here to say this and Taiwan is looking really safe!

China has to be rethinking their Taiwan strategy.

Nobody has anti-torpedo torpedos that I know of.

I wouldn't be surprised if these sea drones (basically ocean kayaks) didn't use trolling motors or similar for propulsion and Honda type generators and batteries for hybrid power generation. They look extremely susceptible to electronic warfare since they appear to be controlled by remote operators using live video streams.

They're more like small speedboats. I think they're controlled through Starlink connections, which Russia has had trouble jamming. Trying to counter them through EW is probably going to be a real challenge because you will inevitably commit EW fratricide and jam yourself.

They're evolving their sea drones quickly:

...and will probably manufacture 1,000 units in 60 days.

I also wouldn't be surprised for their to be some "anonymous" attacks on Chinese swarm fleets heading to disputed islands. The Taiwanese, Australians, Filipinos, Indians, Japanese, Vietnamese and Koreans will all be actively developing their own. Probably the Indonesians as well. I wouldn't be surprised if some new types of mother ships will be modified to carry these as well.

Wow, I wonder what the cost and turnaround time is for these Gen 3s? Dozens of these bad boys could really put a hurt on the Orc flotillas.
