Ukraine's Mid-Range Drones Hit Crimea Bridges, Disrupt Russia's Supply Lines

TL;DR Summary
Ukraine has deployed mid-range drones to strike bridges linking Crimea with the southern front, aiming to disrupt Russian supply routes to Zaporizhzhia and Kherson. The 1st Separate Assault Regiment posted clips showing drones hitting the Armyansk, Henichesk, and Chonhar bridges, with several bridges burning; BI could not independently verify the footage, while pro-Russian officials confirmed attacks and warned of fuel shortages prompting rerouted traffic. Drones like the FirePoint FP-2 and Hippo carry heavy payloads and fly farther than quadcopters, offering Kyiv a cheaper, longer-range option to target rear-area logistics.
