Perhaps but at the end of the day they are fighting it and somebody evidently decides that a missile should be directed at a transformer or a supply depot rather than a bridge.
I can see some criteria for that. Maybe dropping bridges early might have forced the AFU to retreat behind lines it would have been impossible to dislodge them fro…

I can see some criteria for that. Maybe dropping bridges early might have forced the AFU to retreat behind lines it would have been impossible to dislodge them from for example. And such. Whether such things are correct is often clear only in hindsight.

OK let' s try a counterexample. Many thought that russian partial mobilization was pussyfooting.
