Was the image quality also destroyed by that same missile?

It looks like a bad photoshop job.

Hopefully it stays down for awhile, but Russia is typically quick to fix railways

if they have something to put that railway on. not exactly a given here

Are there more pics? I’m just seeing one blurry one.

Yea personally I do not see the point in using a terrebly expensive missile against just some rail. It can be repaired in like a day.

[–] GlitzyArmrest@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I'm not so sure they could repair a concrete bridge like this in a day, though. Rails alone, maybe, but this is not "just some rail".

I don't know if the concrete is going to be able to support the weigh of a single car anymore. They could repair the tracks, but beneath that is going to take a few weeks to get the rebar and concrete to cure over.

That is of course assuming no structural damage to the situation of a bombs striking it multiple times.

Though knowing russia, they will do some mental calculus and say something like, the risk of a single car derailing is worth the risk.

Now hit it again, maybe a 3rd time. Keep it down and unusable

They might not have intentionally named the missile after the guy from GI Joe, but I like to think they did.
