The only allies Putler has left are yelling "nuke 'em!"

So if Kadyrov is promoting the use of low yield nuclear weapons due to Russia losing ground in conventional warfare, perhaps the west should offer to equip Ukraine forces with a similar low yield capability, only for use after a first strike from Russia and only against true and verified Russian military targets on the Russian side of the border. I agree this would look like nuclear escalation but cluld also me seen as a minor MAD policy.

Those tanks as you call it are taking innocent Ukrainian lives and is not a laughing matter.
If the Russians’ big plan is to strike north or east from Crimea…good way to telegraph their brilliant plan by sending those tanks together across the causeway/bridge in daylight. They they have to support them. Logistics may be difficult.
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.
Hopefully they can be taken out before deployment.

TBH I can't see even 24 tanks there. First two look a lot like Strela-10 SAM's, third a MT-LB with probably a ZU23-2 AA-gun mounted on top, then 10ish BMP IFVs following another 10ish MBT's (hard to tell from poor quality video but T72 or T80) and the rest as far as that video and eye can see are KAMAZ and ZIL trucks.
There is roughly half a mechanized BTG worth of fighting vehicles there that can be seen.

let all that military equipment in, they don't have anyone to operate them, once in can't be used anywhere else and they don't get them back. We need to leave the bridge up for the time being, so that the russians can run away.lol

The problem is that the bridge is about 250km from Ukrainian controlled territory. Not sure Ukraine has anything that could hit it from that range. I'm guessing not, otherwise they would have hit it already. Ukraine has asked for ATACMS, which would have the range, but as far as I know the US has refused so far.
hmmm. how do you get a 70km missile to hit a target 250km away????
Rubik's cube is more difficult. Apollo 13 CO2 scrubbers was more demanding....
