The bridge is surrounded by nets and barriers now. I think it's well defended against sea attack. Against ATACMS I think they have no defence.I'm not sure why Ukraine cannot send USVs to moor against the pilings of the bridge and blow up. It'd take skill, to be sure.

More reporting:KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukrainian counterintelligence investigators have foiled a Russian plot to assassinate President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and other top military and political figures, Ukraine's state security service said Tuesday.
Two colonels in the State Guard of Ukraine, which protects top officials, were detained on suspicion of enacting the plan drawn up by Russia's Federal Security Service, or FSB, a statement said. The colonels were recruited before Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, according to the statement.
It quoted the head of the State Security Service, Vasyl Maliuk, as saying the plot foresaw an attack before Russian President Vladimir Putin's inauguration for a fifth term on Tuesday. Maliuk said that he personally oversaw the top-secret operation to track the plot.
Ukrainian claims of Russian efforts to kill Zelenskyy aren't new. Zelensky said in 2022 there has been at least 10 attempts to assassinate him, and now the war with Russia has stretched into its third year.

It could be soaking up a lot of air and sea defense assets that might be better used elsewhere. The bridge isn't operating at full capacity and it gets shut down every time Ukraine strikes Southern Crimea. Might be a better idea for Ukraine to leave it standing at this point.
