The Ukrainians have maintained high morale throughout this evil act of Russia, and part of that has been from their sense of humor. The only part of the comment by 627 that would be annoying is that it wasn't a Ukrainian that thought it up. There is additionally a lot of truth in the observation; Russia could simplify a lot of their processes by just handing their equipment over to Ukraine, and shooting 1:4 of their troops, and taking off a limb of the remainder.

Dropping the rail bridge is still a worthwhile use of a PGM, as really, Ukraine has more Russian equipment than they really need at this time. Now, if Germany would hand over some Leopards, they would make room for those though. Kerch has been in range for months, and Ukraine knows how to drop the spans.
