Pontoon bridges aren’t designed to be sturdy. They are meant to be portable. You aren’t going to waste a HIMARS round on something so cheap and easy to move.

West: Ukrainians damaged a bridge. It’s yuge! Game changer! West: Ukraine’s 2nd largest power plant seized by Russians? Meh, not a big deal.

@thinkerly1 still holding onto that Kyiv thing, huh? Battle plans change in war. If one thing doesn’t work, then pivot to something that does, which is why Russians are so successful now. Still waiting on that million Ukrainian counteroffensive. Will the Ghost of Kiev be there too?

@Dustpuuppy so what’s your point?

@edl653 the point of HIMARS is that their artillery is getting nailed by the Russians.

@Omega0850 lol, even if the bridge were in tact, you’d still find a way to say it works against the Russians. Dude, as long as they get to the other side is what matters.

@Dustpuuppy do you hear about the pontoon bridges that aren’t destroyed?

@Dustpuuppy how much more time? Until that fabled million man counteroffensive? And Ukrainian brigades have been destroyed on their own pontoon bridges too. So do you apply the same standards to them?
