“It has become known what happened to the missing Russian pontoon crossing across the Seim River in the Kursk region
Ukrainian blogger and volunteer Sergey Sternenko posted a video from an FPV drone, filmed in the area of one of the two pontoon crossings built by the Russian army across the Seim River in the Kursk region, between the villages of Zvannoye and Glushkovo. The day before, Radio Liberty published satellite photographs of this crossing, from which it followed that between August 18 and 19 it disappeared, and smoke was visible 500 meters from it in a photo taken on Monday.
It turned out that this smoke was the result of a drone strike on a Russian military truck heading towards the pontoon bridge. Near the bridge, engineering equipment can be seen in the video, which was also attacked by a drone. The pontoon bridge itself in the drone video is “moored” along the Russian-controlled bank of the river.
The Russian army has begun constructing pontoon bridges across the Seim River in the Kursk region after the Ukrainian Armed Forces destroyed or seriously damaged three fixed bridges in the area, making it impossible for Russia to supply its troops and hampering their possible retreat.

Flying camera bombs happened again. Fuck your luck Russia.
Slava Ukraini!
Finally tides turn. Keep it up
Russian equipment on the bottom. Dejavu
Time for orcses to swim.
Good to take out the bridging equipment too.
They probably do not have too many pontoon bridges available in the region on short notice. Nice, effective hit.
In the “after” picture, no trace of the bridge is visible. Where did it go? All elements sunk? Swept downstream? My eyesight? …
Black Sea fleet 2.0
Can someone please explain to me why the Russians would be using this particular spot to make a crossing. I’m not sure I understand why they would pick what is basically a “bottleneck”.
Interesting to note *how much clearer* this FPV video is compared with the typical grainy/noisy videos, but not quite as clear as the alleged fiber optic controlled FPVs
I’m hoping Ukraine captures many more orcs that got trapped in the region.
Great news! Also… gonna need to know that track name? Haha
The RuZZian’s are “in Seim”.
Excellent!
Welcome to maneuver warfare!
In battlefields tactics you first learn, that if you build a bridgehead/pontoonbridge, you need to push the enemy out of combat range adapt.
In todays standards I would say at least 25km, when you have counter artillery pieces placed close to the crossing.
duzhe dyakuyu! 🇺🇦✊
Marvel at the Russian submarine bridge! – Putler
Realize where the existing road network goes plays a large part in determining where a pontoon bridge can be built. That’s the first criteria, and it’s usually why pontoon bridges are built close to where existing bridges have been destroyed. Even in flat terrain supply truck are very road bound.
Beating the high score from the 2022 pontooning around Bolihorivka is going to be tough.
