At least that's what I would do if they put a gun to my head and said, "You have 4 hours to fix this". I am not a civil engineer, though. Driving anything over this, even light cars, will be risky, though. Steelbars and concrete would be my guess. I doesn't have to be even or comfortable. Apshalt is way to soft to roll a bunch of tanks over it. The real challenge is to get stable formwork under the hole to pour the concrete in but it can be done. | ||

The real challenge is to get stable formwork under the hole to pour the concrete in but it can be done. As long as the bridge structure (the road isn't directly intended to be structural, it just transfers load to the support beams) is intact, it's not going to just fall. They have some of the highest factors of safety of anything we build, typically around the 4-6 range depending on where you are in the world. If those support structures aren't badly compromised, they should be fine even driving tanks over it if the roadworks are done properly. It's going to need a ton of work to fully repair it for full traffic loads for the next 20 years, but if you send a truck or tank over every 20-30 seconds for a few weeks, it shouldn't be an issue. | ||

If I were to live in Russia near the border, I would be thinking about packing my bags sooner rather than later Russians used to fire about 60k shells a day in Donbas/Luhansk. That is a staggering amount. Since introduction of HIMARS and shifting of resources towards Chersoń it somewhat lower, but still a lot. This is what intelligence and official sources report. I wouldn't take a word from people on the ground contradicting analysts, since people on the ground see only small part of the whole picture. Context on 60k shells number - PZH 2000 after firing 100 shells a day for a month needs a maintenance/fixing/replacement of loading mechanism. | ||

A nun explains that a man was shot for choosing to speak Ukraine instead of Russian. She says that "they" want to erase Ukraine and its people (not sure who exactly "they" are, the context is missing, but I assume she means Putin and his supporters). Edit: probably not a nun, but doesn't really change anything. Maybe the people working at Amnesty International who published their condemnation of Ukraine's war tactics should've made the small effort to look at reports similar to this one before doubling down on their unsolicited advice. Maybe it'd help them understand how additional context can change everything. | ||

Apparently Russia lost over 300 soldiers in combat, yesterday. | ||

This is despite the U.S. claiming they would only send missiles that have a range of around 70km. | ||

I agree the report was silly and tone deaf but Russia committing war crimes doesn't mean Ukraine can't be criticised for endangering civilians. | ||

Amnesty International (presumably a different branch/group) has accused Russia of war crimes and strong disregard for the safety of Ukrainian civilians. In that context the condemnation of Ukrainian war tactics by the other group of AI makes little to no sense. "Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is an act of aggression that has unleashed the gravest human rights and refugee crisis in Europe since World War Two. Amnesty International is documenting serious violations of international humanitarian and human rights law, including the unlawful killing and injury of civilians, destruction of infrastructure, and blocking of desperately needed aid for civilians. Attacks on hospitals and schools, employing “surrender or starve” sieges on civilians, the use of banned weapons such as cluster munitions, and strikes on populated areas using inaccurate weapons may constitute war crimes." https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2022/03/latest-news-on-russias-war-on-ukraine/ | ||

NATO standard 155mm barrels have a lifespan of 1500 EFC (shots with full charge). More if they don't shoot at full range. BTW remember the tweet about uneven Russian barrel? Look at the picture in this link: www.quora.com | ||
