I'd concentrate on the refineries. Oil and gas are Russia's economic lifeblood.

Good point. Somewhere, perhaps in a link I posted a while ago, there was a comment that Ukraine's attacks on the refineries has cut Russian oil processing by 13% or so.
I also saw a story that the Biden administration has cautioned that Ukraine should not strike targets outside its borders.

Ukrainian civilians in cities and towns will pay dearly for this.

That seems to be the only thing Russia can do competently.

Gotta wonder how it evaded Russian radar for 800 miles.
Interesting:
Ukrainians just might have hit something more than a routine weapons factory. Could have a negative effect on the Kremlin in a large predominantly Muslim region.

More on bridge collapse:
According to independent Russian media outlet Meduza, Russian authorities announced plans to carry out repairs of the bridge’s road surface in 2018 and planned to spend around nine million rubles ($97,000) on the job.

Perhaps the budget for repairs was diverted or stolen by management. After all, it is Russia where these incidents are taking place.
Curious coincidence though that someone managed to catch it on video at the very moment the bridge catastrophically failed. Those bridges over railroad yards are commonplace in Russian cities. Wonder what made that particular bridge so special around that particular time?
