The head of the Security Service, Vasyl Malyuk, said that 21 tons of hexane were used for the October attack on the Kerch Bridge. It was masked with plastic wrap so that scanners at checkpoints would not detect the explosives.
"We went through the seven circles of hell and used the dark side of many Russians," Malyuk said in an interview with NV.
SBU employees specially selected such a thickness of the film that the scanners at the checkpoints would not notice the explosives.
In addition, the SBU bypassed special jammers that confuse GPS coordinates. So, on October 8, 2022, a load of "film" exploded in the middle of the bridge.
- On October 8, a truck exploded on the Crimean bridge, which connects Russia and occupied Crimea. The explosioncollapsed part of the spans and caused a large-scale fire — the trainʼs fuel tanks were on fire. Russia announced a terrorist attack, and its authorities used the incident to justify missile strikes on Ukraine.
