Is this a big deal from an explosives placement point of view?

Hard to tell from the video of the blast. It looks like the blast could have been a from a point charge tamped against the side of the pier or footing, which could have various levels of effect. But the damage could be substantial if there were chambers dug/drilled under the footing and/or boreholes into the pier, then the damage could be more significant.

If nothing else, there will be a requirement to send civil engineer divers into the water to assess the damage before heavy traffic continues.

A picture of two spans in the water would be sign of a successful pier attack.

And swarm the divers and their support boats/eqpt non stop.

Fairly reliable source. We might be in for some treats in the next couple days if true.

EDIT: Additional sources also have seen said footage, might be getting released publicly soon by the sounds of it.

More on the 2nd attack on Kirch

Possibly 2 non nuclear ICBM or hypersonic missiles launched back at Ukraine so far.

More and more we're likely to see drone on drone warfare like what's happening in Ukraine

Russian Lancet hits Ukrainian drone boat

Russian media have released footage appearing to show a Lancet loitering munition striking a Ukrainian uncrewed surface vessel (USV) during a multi-domain attack on the Kerch Strait Bridge earlier today. The intercepted vessel, likely a Magura V7, was reportedly equipped with two U.S.-made...

Likely took out 4 or so of the supporting piles under the cap. Really hard to tell. Depends on how much redundancy is built into the design. The are damaged is designed to deflect ships from hitting the support pillar and the piles directly under that. The under laying seabed plays a part as well.

And how much was skimmed off the top by corruption.

I can’t find a non-Instagram link for this post on the ‘Stinger’ drone but use this pic to find it and watch - it was terrifying to watch.
I can only imagine 1,000 of these lifting off outside the Roger’s Centre when the dome is open and utter mass murder occurring.

A terrorist attack on a crowd with ‘claymore drones’ is an eventual inevitability.

At least they have 60mm mortars.

"Zelensky Knew about the June 1 operation when he was in the oval office being berated by Trump and Vance. Does that change the way you see what happened?

Zelensky probably didn't say anything suspecting Trump or one of his team would run with the info to Putin.

New footage released by Ukraine. I didn’t count individual planes but it’s a lot. 2 A-50s and several Tu-22s as well as Bears.

Russian strategic aviation had a no-good, horrible, very bad day.

 

[NavyShooter]

Wow.....that's stunning. Interesting to see that they definitely had live operators running those, not AI - you can see in a couple of images how they went after the same aircraft 2-3 times and you see the previous hits in the follow up video from the next drones....wow.
