Russians are flooding ships along the Kerch bridge to defend against Ukrainian maritime drone strikes
Russians are afraid of Ukrainian maritime drones. Satellite images confirm Ukraine's claim about how Russia is trying to organise the Kerch bridge defence.
Here's What We Know
The Kerch Bridge, which is considered an illegal structure, has been attacked several times. Strikes on this facility disrupt the logistics of the Russian army, forcing it to reduce or temporarily stop arms shipments.
To protect the Kerch Bridge, the Russians have begun sinking ships. Satellite images clearly show the new defence barrier. It represents several ships submerged along the bridge at a distance of about 150 metres.
***UPDATE***#Russia has been placing block ships across the western approaches to Kerch Bridge, following #Ukrainian USV attack.

The satellite captured images of an area 25 kilometres from where the Kerch Strait flows into the Black Sea. It is likely that this is the route that Ukrainian maritime drones are travelling.
Sea Baby is an attack drone that has already attacked the Kerch Bridge. It also hit the oil tanker SIG and the large landing ship Olenegorsk Miner. The drone is capable of carrying 850kg of explosives.
