War in Ukraine: the Russians would have used a naval drone against a strategic bridge

In western Ukraine, the heavy, low metal structure of the Zatoka railway bridge, which spans the Dniester estuary, sticks out from the surface of the water despite the already late hour of CCTV footage on Friday February 10.

At 7:28 p.m., a wake takes shape for a few seconds at the tidal wave, heading straight for one of the pillars of the structure, then a sudden explosion triggered under the bridge invades the screen.

As soon as the video was published on social networks on Friday evening, the hypothesis of a Russian naval drone strike against the strategic bridge linking the Boudjak region - bordering Romania and Moldova - to the rest of Ukraine was favored by military experts.
