svpressa.ru | It is extremely important, of course, to understand what happened on the Crimean Bridge and how it happened. To stop this from happening in the future. But it is equally important to determine who did it.
Pay attention to how cleanly everything was done. The truck, loaded to the brim with explosives, did not just drive unhindered onto the bridge. Its appearance there was precisely synchronized with the movement of a huge freight train loaded with fuel across the bridge. And the explosion itself, it seems, happened exactly at the moment when the train and the truck, going in parallel directions and at the same speeds, caught up. In those moments, the distance between them became simply negligible for such a powerful charge that was set in motion.
And one more, in my opinion, important detail. If the destruction of part of the Crimean Bridge began with the explosion of a truck loaded with explosives, then definitely not an ordinary truck was involved there. But one that was equipped in a special way. Because among our opponents there are definitely neither martyrs nor Captains Gastello [reference to Soviet pilot Nikolay Gastello — S]. At least, nothing like this has been observed on the Russian–Ukrainian front before.
So the driver of the truck definitely had to get out of the cab in time to survive. Jumping, for example, from the roadway into the waters of the Kerch Strait. Where he may have already been expected by those who really needed it [the sabotage — S].
But in this case, to complete the operation, the truck itself had to be equipped in such a way that at the final stage of sabotage it could be controlled remotely. Suppose, from a foreign vessel passing in visual range from the bridge. Or from a foreign reconnaissance aircraft, the likes of which have been stalking that area for a long time.
So far, of course, this is just speculation. But if it is confirmed in the main, there will be a hell of lot of questions for the organizers of the protection and defense of the Crimean Bridge from the Rosgvardiya and the FSB. With the appropriate organizational consequences for those officials who for years have been bravely telling us that even a mosquito would not fly over the strategic object they were guarding without a permission from Moscow.
We will certainly be assured that this simply spectacularly organized and impeccably carried out sabotage at one of the most carefully guarded facilities in Russia is the work of exclusively Ukrainian saboteurs. Most likely, subordinate to the Main Directorate of Intelligence (GUR) of the Ukraine. But is it?
Because if such skilled people really work in the GUR, what prevented them from putting the Crimean Bridge out of action even earlier? For example, at the height of the holiday season on the peninsula. Then the size of the disaster would look even more impressive. At least in public space.
Therefore, most likely, someone much more experienced and qualified in sabotage work has almost definitely joined the efforts of the GUR in this direction in recent weeks and months. It seems that we have the right to assume who exactly that was.
In order to come to the, most likely, correct conclusions, we will try to analyze several facts.
As early as April 23, 2022, that is, exactly two months after the start of the Russian special operation, the RIA Novosti news agency, citing sources in the Armed Forces of the Ukraine, has reported that at least two groups of specialists in sabotage and guerrilla war from the British Special Air Service (SAS) had arrived to that country from the city of Hereford. The headcount of the first one was at least 8–10 people. How many in the second one was not known then.
At that time one could only guess about the tasks of the British saboteurs. But it has long been known that people who serve in the SAS are considered to be among the most highly qualified in the world in organizing coups d’etat, mass protest rallies, contract killings of political figures, recruiting agents, including those in the highest echelons of power, preparing terrorist attacks.
“These are not ordinary special forces, these are intellectuals, each group always has an ideologue, one might say a professor, and the rest are specialists in their fields… With a high degree of probability, these specialists have arrived in order to improve the skills and efficiency of the Ukrainian special services in coordinating the activities of sabotage groups in the territories of the Ukraine controlled by the Russian troops,” an employee of a Russian law enforcement agency has added during a conversation with a RIA Novosti correspondent.
It is also known that the SAS special forces previously participated quite effectively in the Korean War, in the conflict in Northern Ireland, in the war between Great Britain and Argentina over the Falkland (Malvinas) Islands, in the events in the Persian Gulf and in NATO’s Afghanistan campaign. And in all those cases their main tasks were destruction of enemy headquarters, command posts, railway junctions, ammunition and weapons depots, and so on.
Most often, their own combat aircraft were guided onto those objects. However, when faced with opposition from a powerful air defense system (and the presence of such near Russia’s Crimean Bridge is no secret) or when the chosen target was small, special forces of that special service entered into action.
In June of this year, the presence of British saboteurs in the Ukraine was confirmed in the West. American investigative journalist Seth Harp published his correspondence with a mercenary from the U.S. who said that special forces soldiers of the British Special Air Service (SAS) were fighting in the Ukraine. And even, he said, were suffering losses from “friendly fire” of inexperienced soldiers from the Ukraine. “We have lost a British SAS sniper. The fighter advanced to the position, but the Ukrainian APC turned him into dust, since no one warned its crew,” the mercenary told investigator Harp.
In June, the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of the Ukraine reported that for some reason it managed to obtain detailed technical documentation on the Crimean Bridge. Logically, this was necessary in order to calculate in advance the most vulnerable points of Russia’s main bridge from the point of view of saboteurs.
Finally, on August 15, Ukrainian MP Aleksey Goncharenko [Ukrainian spelling: Oleksiy Honcharenko — S] boasted that Kiev had held talks with British defense minister Ben Wallace at the NATO summit in June about a plan to destroy the Crimean Bridge. And he confirmed that with photographs taken at the negotiating table. Those indicated that the then–Prime Minister Boris Johnson was also sitting at the table that day. That is, that happened at the top-most level.
Meanwhile, the very fact of such negotiations in London could indicate only one thing: Britain, together with the Ukrainians, was preparing to participate in the destruction of the Crimean Bridge in the most direct way. Otherwise, what else was there to be discussed in its capital?
And what means for such a sabotage could the British possess in the Ukraine? The specialists from SAS. No one else to carry out such a delicate matter.
On August 17, it was suggested both in Russia and in the West that the SAS was involved in the events in our Kursk Oblast—a “warm up” before the Crimean Bridge operation. On that day, power transmission towers located near the villages of Pryamitsyno and Lyubitskoye, 44 kilometers from each other, and leading to the Kursk nuclear power plant were blown up. That threatened great technological troubles at the nuclear power plant. But Russian personnel managed to prevent the worst. Yet those who did it could not be detained. Which proved once again: people with the highest sabotage and reconnaissance skills were working against us.
It was only now, apparently, that it was Crimean Bridge’s turn for the close tandem of the SAS and the GUR.
