The Russian army has suffered heavy losses including the destruction of around three dozen tanks after the Ukrainian army blew up a pontoon bridge over the Siverskyi Donets river in the Luhansk region, according to reports.
Satellite images collected by geospatial intelligence firm BlackSky show that a pontoon bridge – used primarily but not invariably for military purposes – was destroyed on 10 May after Ukrainian artillery struck the bridge and surrounding area.
The images show smoke emanating from the half-sunken bridge with destroyed armoured vehicles lying on the shores of the Siverskyi Donets river, running west to east between Russian rebels-controlled provinces of Donetsk and Luhansk in eastern Ukraine.

Ukraine is putting up a fight 100x better than I thought they would and Russia is 100x less organized and less equipped than I thought they were.

I like seeing Ukraine defeating Russia, but also worried Putin will get more desperate and resort to WMDs. That could very easily escalate.

"Why did Ukraine destroy a Russian tank bridge in eastern Ukraine?
Ukrainian artillery caught them at the river bank-and destroyed them. The rapid destruction of around three dozen tanks and other armored vehicles, along with the bridge itself, underscores Russia’s deepening woes as its troops try, and fail, to make meaningful gains in eastern Ukraine’s Donbas region."
