İt has been revealed new damage to the protective barriers near the Crimean bridge. Apparently, the structures could not withstand the powerful storm that hit the Kerch Strait in early January. This was reported by the Crimean Wind monitoring group.
Breaks were found in the boom barriers near the Crimean bridge. The probable cause of the damage is a powerful storm that passed through the Kerch Strait on January 10 and 11. Strong wind gusts caused trees to fall in Kerch, and ships at anchor in the local port were dislodged from their positions. As a result, the Sanar-14 tanker and the Viktor Taratin motor ship came together uncontrollably and collided with each other.
According to the report, this is not the first time such problems with the boom barriers near the Kerch Bridge have arisen. In April 2025, after stormy weather, the number of barges that formed the protective system around the bridge decreased significantly. While at the end of March there were 17 barges, in mid-April there were only 12 barges left, and another barge was found in a semi-submerged state.
On the night of January 8, units of the Special Operations Forces used FP-2 attack drones to hit targets in Donetsk region and the temporarily occupied peninsula. In Crimea, the Special Operations Forces drones hit a rolling stock with fuel and lubricants on the fuel rack of the oil depot in Hvardiyske.
In addition, a new radar station of Russian troops was spotted in Krasnohvardiysk district, installed to control the airspace and strengthen surveillance of the region due to regular attacks on the aggressor’s targets. Ukrainian guerrillas conducted reconnaissance, determined the exact coordinates of the equipment and handed them over to the Ukrainian Defense Forces.
Recall, since the moment it was built, the Crimean bridge has been one of Ukraine’s main targets in the temporarily occupied Crimea. Even before the full-scale invasion began, russia had concentrated significant air defense assets there.
Nevertheless, gaps in the bridge’s defenses allowed the Security Service of Ukraine to carry out three successful strikes. The first attack occurred in October 2022 and involved a truck loaded with explosives. In July 2023, it was struck with Sea Baby naval drones. The last incident occurred in early June 2025. This time, an underwater marine drone was likely used to strike the target. Air defenses, which have been built up over many years, are clearly ineffective against such weapons. By 2023, Russia had begun actively constructing physical defenses against various marine drones, and since 2022, it has significantly increased inspections of vehicles crossing the bridge. In 2024, Russia began installing piles along the entire length of the bridge. Around March 2025, the construction of these pile walls was completed. It is also worth noting that barges were placed around May 2024. They form a line along the entire bridge, blocking access from the Black Sea side. However, in 2023, due to a storm, some of these barges sank, while others were scattered or pulled ashore. Since then, their use has become infrequent. Czech hedgehogs were also deployed in the water along the bridge to defend against underwater drones.Work on the bridge’s physical defenses is ongoing, even though satellite images make it hard to judge their quality. The bridge is constantly receiving new levels of protection, which gradually complicates the task of destroying it. However, no defense is perfect, and it is almost certain that any weaknesses will be found again, as happened three times before.
