Russian Engineers Built Bridge for Syrian Army Across the Euphrates Under Shelling
Now the real, armored-backed offensive can begin
Russian army engineers have built temporary bridge over the Euphrates at Deir Ezzor to help the Syrian army in the race for eastern Syria against US-backed SDF. Moreover they did so while under attack by ISIS shelling and mini drones:
The MARM small motorway panel bridge was erected in less than two days under continuous shelling, Head of the Russian Defense Ministry’s Road Service Vladimir Burovtsev told reporters.
"Unmanned aerial vehicles were used. Explosive substances and grenades were falling on us from the air during the installation work. However, we have no losses. No injured or affected. Everything was erected in the set terms," he specified.
The Russians say the bridge could theoretically allow 8,000 cars to cross per day, and can support even the heaviest vehicles including tanks.
