ANALYSIS: Simonyan Doubles Down on Accusation of German Plans to Strike Kerch Bridge - Though All Is Not as She Claims
https://www.kyivpost.com/analysis/28908Kyiv Post reported that Margarita Simonyan, editor-in-chief of Russias RT television channel, said on Thursday she had an audio recording of high-ranking Bundeswehr officers discussing strikes on the Crimean Bridge.
...
She published on her VKontakte channel what she said was a complete transcript of the conversation between four high-ranking Bundeswehr officers that took place Feb. 19, 2024. The men were identified as Air Force Command Chief of Operations and Exercises Frank Graefe, Bundeswehr Air Force Inspector Ingo Gerhartz and Space Command Air Operations Center staff Fenske and Frostedte.
...
After having reviewed the transcript, which does indeed talk about how the Kerch Bridge could be attacked by using Germanys long-range Taurus cruise missiles, it seems more likely to be a brainstorming session between commanders and technical experts rather than a conspiracy to carry out a clandestine attack on the link to mainland Russia.
...
According to Gerhartz, the manufacturer says the launching aircraft makes little difference, that it would take six months to modify and prepare the aircraft and missiles no matter whether it is a Sukhoi or an F-16.

It's in Russian, but Google translate to English is available. I don't speak Russian, so I have no idea how good the translation is.
