David Debatto is convinced that the SBU was involved in the explosion on the Crimean bridge. And that the Russian version of the explosive truck is not true.
In an interview with Channel 24, retired US military counterintelligence special agent David Debatto said he believes the explosive was embedded in the bridge. And in several places.
The operation was planned for a long time
Debatto does not believe that the destruction on the Crimean bridge was caused by the same truck that everyone saw on the video. Because he couldn't have done it himself.
I am not some outstanding expert on explosives, but I was involved in the investigation of various explosions and worked a lot with explosives experts, and in my opinion – yes, explosives were planted in several places in the bridge … Explosions and a huge fire, which then erupted, these collapses in different places – all this indicates that the explosives were planted in different locations, – he said.
The former US intelligence officer is convinced that the explosives were of different types, and the operation was planned for for a long time, like any operation of such a scale.
Can the FSB be involved in the explosion on the bridge
One of the conspiracy theories around the explosion on the Crimean bridge is the involvement of the FSB. David Debatto said that “anything is possible”, but he does not believe in it. In his opinion, at this stage, the SBU had a much better chance of blowing up the bridge, at least coordinating this work. The SBU could, I’m sure that if they didn’t do it directly, then they definitely coordinated it, although now there is a lot of behind-the-scenes fighting in the Kremlin, but I don’t believe in this version, Debatto believes.
