"The head of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), Vasyl Malyuk, told about how the Kerch Bridge bombing was prepared on October 8, 2022.
According to him, the explosives were hidden in rolls of film, its total capacity was 21 tons of TNT equivalent.
At the same time, all the Russians transporting the explosives, as well as the truck driver who died at the time of the explosion, were used "in the dark".
"We have gone through seven circles of hell, used so many people in the dark! The Russians "closed" 22 people - imprisoned them. They incriminate all of them for complicity in a terrorist act. Although in fact they were engaged in their usual routine business. They were just ordinary Russian smugglers".

maybe they wanted to assert that that was them, to state that capability, to dispel rumours
now, why would they do that. i guess that's because they found out that it's incredibly complex operation, maybe russians started using some countermeasures that make repeat hard or impossible, or more likely, maybe they don't need it at all after successful trials of boat drones, supply of storm shadow/scalp secured and maybe some converted s-200 in use
