Massive RETALIATION from Ukraine! Vital Russian bridges DESTROYED with powerful airstrike in Kursk!

welcome to the USS Global YouTube channel the hardfought battle of the Ukrainian troops continues with great gains a Ukrainian Ace fighter pilot is once again at the center of the action destroying Bridge Crossings in the ksk region of Russia the aim is to prevent Russian forces from advancing westwards and attacking Ukrainian infantry units by launching a daring attack on Russian territory in early August Ukraine caused Russian President Vladimir Putin great embarrassment in the war the Ukrainian fighter pilot whose call sign was karah used a US supplied munition system designed to work with Ukraine's Soviet era migs to complete his mission on the risks of flying in areas protected by Russian air defense systems karah said entering the air defense Zone means a high probability of being destroyed we operate at extremely low altitudes in areas covered by anti-aircraft defenses flying at the lowest safe altitude above the terrain we can get close to the front line karah became a legend of after shooting down five Russian uavs that threatened the Ukrainian City before ejecting from his wreckage damaged aircraft in 2022 Ukrainian president volodimir zalinski presented him with the prestigious hero of Ukraine award bridging a river is considered one of the most difficult tasks in military operations ukrainians know these difficulties well and have had little success in crossing the nepro river near kersen over the last few weeks the Russians have faced similar difficulties in trying to build pontoon bridges over the SI River in KK oblast after Ukrainian forces demolished the original bridge to disrupt Russian supply lines but the Russians are now discovering that this arduous process has been further Complicated by the ukrainians use of advanced drone is to Target and Destroy these pontoon bridges the complexity of riverbridge building is multifaceted a river with its strong currents deep water and unstable Banks creates a natural obstacle building a bridge strong enough to support military vehicles including trucks and armored vehicles require specialized engineering units the real challenge however comes from the enemy on the far side if the opposing Force controls the far Shore they can attack exposed Bridge units with direct fire even if the coast is secured forward observers can direct artillery attacks on the vulnerable Bridge once built the bridge becomes a natural bottleneck and without proper coordination the vehicles Crossing it are vulnerable to attack as evidenced by the civy donet river in May 2022 where the Russians lost an entire Battalion tactical group despite these difficulties military units are intensively training to build temporary Bridges under hostile conditions which specialized teams of Engineers can build in just a few hours the military units then coordinate forces to carry out the wet Gap Crossing quickly and effectively while these tactics are effective against traditional counter bridging threats they are proving to be very vulnerable to drone attacks indeed the integration of drones into Ukrainian counter bridging operations makes the Russian task of establishing a military Bridge almost impossible uavs have provided the ukrainians with several new capabilities not offered by conventional direct and indirect fire UAV strikes especially those involving loitering Munitions are more accurate than artillery moreover Ukrainian forces do not need to be near the bridge which reduces their exposure to Russian fire uavs can also conduct continuous surveillance over a river and quickly detect the start of a bridging operation as uavs become more accurate able to carry larger payloads and fly for longer periods of time their effectiveness in anti-bd operations will only increase the most common defense against enemy attacks during bridging operations is the use of obstructions such as smoke screens however drones are now equipped with Advanced sensors many of which can see through these obstructions for example infrared cameras can Pierce smoke and fog making it easier to detect a bridge whose temperature is different from the surrounding water in addition the new sensors also use radio frequency detection to track a military vehicle's radio signal enabling a drone to pinpoint the location of a bridging unit as it approaches the river Russian counter drone systems provide very limited protection for bridging units the Russian military relies on electronic warfare systems that prevent drones from receiving control signals Ukraine meanwhile is taking advantage of its commercial sector to develop increasingly autonomous drones equipped with Advanced computer vision algorithms for targeting identifying a river is simple and a pre-programmed flight path can guide a drone along its route from there a bridge with sharp features relative to a moving body of water can be easily detected by the drones algorithms enabling it to operate with minimal human intervention the threat posed by Ukrainian uavs to Russian Bridges has important consequences for The Wider sphere of the war in the short term if Russian forces are unable to replace destroyed Bridges with temporary ones they risk losing critical supply routes this would deprive their troops of vital equipment especially artillery especially in southern Ukraine in the long term the lack of the ability to bridge Rivers limits maneuverability on the battlefield severely constraining offensive operations while obstacles such as minefields have greatly affected the conflict between Ukraine and Russia natural obstacles especially Rivers present even greater challenges both armies are capable of rapidly Building Bridges but the use of Advanced Technologies especially drones in counter bridging operations has made it almost impossible to maintain these bridges in combat conditions in the aftermath of all this there has been a development that has boosted the motivation of Ukrainian Fighters Canada plans to deliver Advanced surface-to-air missile systems NASA Sams to Ukraine early next year Canadian defense minister Bill Blair made public his country's plans according to Blair according to the latest information the 10 nasams ordered by the United States will be delivered by Ron and kbur defense and Aerospace by the end of this year the minister continued as follows ours will be among those deliveries and we will deliver it to Ukraine immediately he noted that nasams is expected to arrive in Ukraine in early 2025 on of January 2023 Canada announced its intention to deliver nasams worth $300 million to Ukraine the original agreement stipulated that Canada would reimburse the United States for the full cost of the new nasams in exchange for which the United States would enter into a direct contract with Ukraine for the supply of these weapons this was supposed to allow Canada to bypass the requirement to obtain permission from the United States to reexport nasams to Ukraine however the implementation of this project encountered a number of bureaucratic obstacles that slowed its implementation in addition the production of each nasam system takes about 2 years Canada shipped ammunition for nasams to Ukraine in April 2023 this delivery was announced last January along with a promise to deliver a new air defense system in addition Vladimir zalinski believes that after the end of the war Ukraine should become a full member of the EU and NATO as well as part of the the future security infrastructure of Europe and the world zalinsky said the following on the subject Ukraine is part of the future security infrastructure of the world and first of all Europe because we are located on this continent and Security in Europe depends on security in the world therefore Ukraine should be part of this security Union in many respects defense energy technology food zalinsky expressed the belief that Ukraine should be an equal part of the European Union and NATO and continued territorially the war is being waged in Ukraine but the whole world has suffered in particular due to the blocking of Ukrainian grain exports food prices have soared and many countries have seen the threat of famine therefore in zelinsky's opinion it is critical that Ukraine becomes a component of security alliances in the post-war future as previously reported Ukraine and the EU have launched formal accession negotiations this is the penultimate and most difficult stage on the country country's path to European integration the final stage will involve ratification by the Council of the EU and the European Parliament and ultimately the signing of the agreement thank you for tuning in
