Ukrainian strikes have rendered the Chonhar Bridge completely unusable for vehicular traffic. As a result, Russian forces began rerouting military cargo through alternative paths, but one of these substitute routes has also been struck.
Dmytro Filatov, callsign «Perun», commander of the 1st Separate Assault Regiment, reported the development.
According to him, after the Chonhar Bridge was damaged, the Russian forces concentrated a significant number of military cargo trucks on the route through Armiansk. Ukrainian forces successfully targeted this exact convoy.
«Today, that movement was completely halted. We executed another operation, and we will share details on how it went later. Because the Chonhar Bridge was damaged, the enemy concentrated a large number of trucks carrying military supplies moving specifically through Armiansk. Consequently, during the strike, we managed to hit trucks transporting fuel and ammunition. There were approximately 50 vehicles there, and a portion of them was destroyed,» Filatov stated.
The commander specified that the operation was coordinated with the involvement of a joint command post featuring cyber intelligence—the «Epicenter of Multi-Domain Operations.»
Filatov explained that disrupting Russian logistics was achieved not by a single strike, but through a coordinated series of actions across different sectors. Specifically, previous strikes on Mariupol and the road to Berdiansk forced Russia to alter supply routes for their units in the Huliaipole direction.
«This operation would not have been possible if other units had not struck Mariupol and the road to Berdiansk. This caused the units stationed in the Huliaipole direction to stop receiving supplies via the Mariupol highways and instead rely on Crimea. That is, they began using pontoons to ferry trucks into Crimea and then drive here from there. We anticipated this, blocked these routes quite rapidly, and continue to weaken the enemy,» the commander of the 1st Separate Assault Regiment said.
Filatov says the consequences of these strikes will be long-lasting for the Russian forces. They are forced to waste resources restoring routes, while their units are already facing severe supply shortages.
