Russia installs precision strike protection equipment on bridges near Kherson - UK intelligence
Russia has placed special equipment on damaged key bridges near Kherson in order to deflect further strikes on the crossings by the Ukrainian military.
This is reported by the military intelligence of the British Defense Ministry.
"Russian forces have almost certainly positioned pyramidal radar reflectors in the water near the recently damaged Antonivskiy Bridge and by the recently damaged nearby rail bridge, both of which cross over the Dnipro River in Kherson, southern Ukraine. The radar reflectors are likely being used to hide the bridge from synthetic aperture radar imagery and possible missile fargeting equipment. This highlights the threat Russia feels from the increased range and precision of Western-supplied systems," the intelligence agency notes.
The review also states that the Ukraine's Armed Forces continue to attack Russian command posts, logistics bases, and ammunition depots, and this will most likely affect the ability of the Russian Armed Forces to deliver everything they need in a timely manner and will complicate the work of their support units.
The arrival of the first grain truck that left the port of Odesa in accordance with the Istanbul Agreements is also mentioned.
"It is almost certain the success of this transit will result in more frequent transits in both directions. Clearing the backlog caused by the blockade that has been in place since February 2022 will remain a logistical challenge," the review added.
