I believe Ukraine keeps an eye on this. It may be worth to destroy the expensive rail-laying machines from time to time. Or they are waiting for bridges to be built and then destroy those.Russia builds military bypass railway amid Crimea bridge risks
Russian Federation is developing a military freight railway around the Crimean bridge trying to secure military supplies in the event of an attack on the bridgebulgarianmilitary.com
I've had similar thoughts myself, especially when the Bridge gets mentioned. Russia has a large railroad network. Track repair is certainly something they are experienced with. I recall reading about a year(?) ago, the Russian railroads were having trouble sourcing ball bearings. So they might be having rolling stock issues. Track laying equipment are long lead, not built without an existing order, expensive items, at least here. Taking those items will really hurt. I'm guessing that the roster of rail road employees has already been reduced as it is. A strike on these work sites might be crippling. I think the area in question is within GLSDB range.I believe Ukraine keeps an eye on this. It may be worth to destroy the expensive rail-laying machines from time to time.

Filming the strike for propaganda purposes? A stealth plane hauling a large missile won't be quite so stealthy, methinks.An SU-57 "stealth fighter" needs an escort ?

While the US government is in disarray, Canada and every other non-USA NATO country should hand over all their 155mm ammunition now. Here in Canada, for example we do not need it, and all of NATO can replenish their stocks over the coming year as production ramps up. There must be several million 155mm shells sitting in non-US NATO warehouses.I'd like to think you're right, but I'm doubtful. The reason why they're making shell-shortages widely known, in my opinion, is because the cessation of American aid needs to be addressed, and if they make the shortage plain they hope it will unlock the logjam in Washington.
