No Mr Simpson (BBC) - Biden, this is what is meant by a pre-emptive strike to stop Russia using its battlefield nuclear weapons”.

A challenge to Putin to use TNW; or a message to the generals to say no. Dissidence in command.

Brings the war to the front of Russian media; the significance of a security video identifying the truck. A threat to all Russian people, which bridge, which truck, where in Russia - the one over the Moscow river before Red Square.

Requiring military checks on all road transport into the Crimea for explosives; but isn't most of the transport carrying explosives - that will slow things up.
Concern for all other operations in occupied Ukraine, which bridge, when; logistic snarl-up, apprehensive troops.

All things in war are simple, but even the simplest is difficult” Clausewitz
Fortuitous road and rail strike, or a well planned and executed operation; whatever - the tactical and strategic value is immense.
