So that's a bridge. They can get the coordinates very simply just from google maps. Ukraine jas access to modern western weapons which I assume are gps-guided. How effective really is a smoke screen unless Russia is able to jam gps signals over a 19km long bridge?
Problem is Ukraine actually wants to not injure civilians unnecessarily.
Sure they could just launch whatever to the bridge and fuck it up. But without being able to at least reasonably claim to confirm they minimized civilian casualties, it's a big risk.
You’re forgetting that Ukraine has successfully attacked the bridge twice already.
In October 2022 a bomb on a truck detonated, causing 2 spans to collapse and killing 5.
In July 2023 two sea drones targeted the bridge & killed 2 & injured 1. The two killed were a husband & wife. The injured one was their child.
True, though if you constantly cause civilian casualties you end up being in the same odor as Russia, or the us law enforcement.
Not really good look for a country needing the rest of the world's assistance.
