<<badoom, tish!>>
 
Sounds like an opportunity for a repeat of Operation Chariot, where HMS Campbeltown was filled with explosives. So, fill a grain carrier or other cargo vessel, sail under Russian colours under the bridge, abandon ship, blow it up.
Given how Russia is with the grain deal at the moment, giving them some semblance of an excuse to go after grain carriers is probably not a good idea.

Russia did consider that scenario since the bridge was built. That's why the traffic was closely monitored and sometimes stopped completely. Recently, they reported "traces of explosives" in the hold of one coaster that was not allowed to proceed to the Azov Sea. Maybe the traces of ammonia nitrate fertilizers, of course...
By the way, such a "disposable vessel" can be used in different ways against the bridge. As a missile platform, as a mother ship for kamikaze drones, etc. I'm sure it can be operated remotely. Some HUR "frogmen" swam 5-6 km underwater during the assaults on Snake Island. So there are people, equipment, training.
 
Of course, adding them would not be impossible.

Possibly, there were flight control system issues. The naval S-70s needed mods to theirs because the army S-70s FCS glitched near naval radars, which was found out in early testing of the SH-60.
 
Ukrainian forces conducted counteroffensive operations in at least three sectors of the front and reportedly advanced near Bakhmut on July 28. Ukrainian military officials stated that Ukrainian forces continued counteroffensive operations on the northern and southern flanks of Bakhmut, and Ukrainian Deputy Defense Minister Hanna Malyar stated on July 27 that Ukrainian forces continued advancing south of Bakhmut.[1] A Russian milblogger claimed on July 28 that Ukrainian forces advanced near Kurdyumivka and Andriivka.[2] Russian milbloggers claimed that Ukrainian forces continued ground attacks along the Donetsk-Zaporizhia Oblast border near Staromayorske (9km south of Velyka Novosilka) and Urozhaine (9km south of Velyka Novosilka), and some milbloggers acknowledged that Ukrainian forces captured Staromayorske on July 27.[3] A Ukrainian source claimed that Ukrainian forces have advanced to within 10-12 kilometers of the main Russian defensive line in the Berdyansk direction.[4] Russian milbloggers claimed that Russian forces repelled Ukrainian ground attacks near Robotyne (10km south of Orikhiv), Verbove (17km southeast of Orikhiv), and Pyatykhatky (25km southwest of Orikhiv) in western Zaporizhia Oblast.[5] Russian "Vostok" Battalion Commander Alexander Khodakovsky stated that Ukrainian forces can conduct strikes against the full depth of defending Russian forces and that these strikes are killing Russian commanders and degrading Russian command and control.[6] The Ukrainian General Staff reported that the 247th Guards Air Assault (VDV) Regiment (7th VDV Division) refused to go to combat near Staromayorske due to heavy Russian losses and Ukrainian battlefield victories.[7]

 
Thanks for the ISW posts, Thump.
