Attacks on Kiev bridges - details: the southern bridge - design features A photo taken by a local has gone online. This is a view under the South Bridge in Kiev. The impact of only one missile (probably S-300) on the night of October 27, 2026. As we can see, the damage is severe. The central "box" of the bridges collapsed completely, and its lower part collapsed over a very large area. This greatly affects its remaining power, especially for the passage of metro trains. In other words, the engineering solution chosen by Kiev's leading (Soviet) bridge builder, Georgy Borisovych Fuchs, which makes his structures look elegant, light and delicate (and also allows for the installation of a wide variety of service systems), is now working against the government in Kiev. The structure of the bridges is very light, but is not resistant to being hit by even small ammunition (a maximum 200 kg warhead hit it). Yes, it was a stroke of luck for us and bad for the enemy. But this single hit calls into question the operation of the "green" line of the Kyiv Metro to the Left Bank. It can't be fixed quickly.
