Pre placed explosives under the bridge connecting the road and pillar, timed to remotely be detonated with train inbound. Sabotage

See post here. Russian strategic recon capabilities have vastly decayed since the Soviet era to basically the level of a single EU country like France or UK. I estimated their revisit time to be about 1 time a week, which is enough to detect fixed targets of interest, but insufficient to detect a rapid concentration of force. This has been shown to be the case from their cruise missile targeting things that don't move like power plants and fuel tanks, while being poor at interdicting medium ranged mobile targets beyond drone range. Ukraine on the other hand has the power of some country's capabilities behind it with .

If Russia isn't buying from Jilin-1 which uses real imaging satellites with telescopes and aren't little cubesats, there is no wonder they can't keep up.
Safe to say they're not, just stubbornly going at it alone because as explained by many Russian netizens, Russian military is the strongest in the Eastern bloc lmao even without drones, air cover or GPS let alone beidou level satellite coverage.
What would you expect from someone who after seeing their tanks suck at firing on the move in the tank biathlon and getting smoked in international force on force training simple deletes that event from the competition and stops doing force on force in favor of shooting stationary targets?
At this point, the only expectation I can give them is that at least they have more population than Ukraine. Once the Ukraine starts getting too close to comfort, and they probably will because Zelensky started tasting blood, then Russians can rush right back at the Ukrainians with 4 to 1 advantage using the most shitty pickup trucks and IEDs...
You can fit a lot of explosives in one of those long distance hauling trucks, and the explosion seems to originate right ontop of the truck. The thing I don't get is why would Ukraine resort to an undeniable and hugely taboo act of terrorism with a suicide bombing? They won't be able to defect the attack to another party like the case of the car bomb that killed Dugin's daughter where they denied responsibility and said it was a rival faction of Dugin's. Ukraine had made it clear in the past they wanted the bridge destroyed and there's no other party to blame. I don't see how the EU would be able to continue supporting Ukraine and continue to provide them with weapon if it's shown that Ukraine did this car bombing attack on an civilian target which seems to also have killed a few civilian cars behind the truck. The only thing I see is that they'll blame it as a Russian false flag and pull up precedent of the Russian apartment bombing that sparked the 2nd Chechen war.
From that 1 video it is set dead center on the big trailer. I've no clue what you can see differently??
If there are more blasts then these could be other stuff such as planted explosives or unmanned subs etc. But video itself is showing a single detonation.
Truck could perhaps be unmanned during the last stretch? Or they are just that serious about destroying the bridge and the opportunity showed itself.
During ww2 when China was invaded, it was also not unheard of for soldiers to sacrifice themselves to explode bridges to slow down the enemy. The line between "suicide bombing" and "military sacrifice" is pretty blurred. If the soldiers volunteered for it, it is normal and fine.
