This is stated in the text of the conversation between the German military, which, editor-in-chief of the Rossiya Segodnya media group and RT television channel, published on her Telegram channel. It is clarified that the German military discussed the option of attacking the bridge with Taurus missiles from a Dassault Rafale fighter. “There is an opinion that the Taurus will succeed if it uses the French Dassault Rafale fighter,” said one of the German military officers. The publication also indicates that Bundeswehr representatives discussed tricks on how to help strike the Crimean Bridge without becoming a party to the conflict. In addition, according to the editor-in-chief of RT, an employee of the German Space Command discussed a trip to Ukraine on February 21 to help prepare strikes against Russia. “I would also like to briefly dwell on air defense issues. We must think carefully about having equipment in Kyiv to receive information from IABG and NDK. We have to provide this to them, so I have to fly there on February 21, we need to plan everything optimally, and not like it was with Storm Shadow, when they planned checkpoints,” the transcript of the conversation says. The German Ministry of Defense estimated the maximum preparation time for the Ukrainian military to attack the Crimean Bridge with Taurus missiles at four months. “It is necessary to divide the learning process into parts. The long trek will last four months, we will train them thoroughly, including working on the bridge option. The short one will last for two weeks, so that they can use the missiles as soon as possible,” said one of the military men. Judging by the text, the conversation took place on February 19, 2024, the negotiations were attended by the head of the operations and exercises department of the Bundeswehr Air Force Command Graefe, the Bundeswehr Air Force Inspector Gerhartz and employees of the air operations center of the Bundeswehr Space Command Fenske and Frostedt. They discussed sending Taurus missiles to Ukraine and the attack on the Crimean bridge. As reported by IA Regnum, Simonyan previously reported that she had an audio recording in which high-ranking German officers discussed attacks on the Crimean Bridge. She emphasized that she was making an official journalistic request on this situation to the German Ambassador in Moscow, the head of the German Foreign Ministry and personally to German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. Later, the press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov said that the Kremlin does not yet have information about the contents of this recording. In turn, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova said that she was waiting for Germany's reaction to information about the appearance of an audio recording in which German officers discussed attacks on the Crimean Bridge. She noted that the German press had a good reason to prove its independence and ask questions to German Foreign Minister Annalene Baerbock. More from regnum.ru Federation Council called on Germany to investigate the conversation about attacks on the Crimean bridge Russia is daily practicing measures to counter all possible types of attacks on the Crimean Bridge, Vladimir Bulavin, Chairman of the Federation Council Committee on Defense and Security, said on March 1. “We are not afraid of anything and are ready for all possible scenarios. Measures to counter all types of attacks on the bridge are being worked out on a daily basis,” the senator said, commenting on the appearance of a transcript of a conversation between high-ranking German military personnel about plans to attack the bridge. The senator also called on the German authorities to immediately conduct a thorough investigation into the content of this conversation and provide an explanation to the international community. “Only in this way can trust and confidence in compliance with international norms and principles be restored,” Bulavin noted.

| #2 "The transcript makes it clear this planning disregarded the vote of the legislature..." Actually this is one of the few things that this transcript doesn't make clear. Of course the military has to discuss what it has to do if Germany decides to send Taurus. At the moment, Germany won't. To use Webex for this conversation is mindblowing stupid. |

| #1 The transcript makes it clear this planning disregarded the vote of the legislature not to provide Taurus missiles to Ukraine. And interestingly implies over a dozen UK storm shadows fired unsuccessfully at the Crimean bridge |
