Full thread, with way too many caps:

RT Holds audio of a CALL on February 19 2024 between high-ranking German military officials INTERCEPTED BY RUSSIA which shows a plan to bomb the Crimean Bridge.

Audio has not been released yet. I’ve saved the translation of the transcript that RT Editor-in-Chief Margarita Simonyan wrote on VK, here for you to read but I’ll break it down below.

The crux that was said in an almost 40 minute dialogue is here:

“I came to the conclusion that there are two interesting targets, the bridge in the east and the ammunition depots above. The bridge in the east is hard to reach, it's a rather small target, but the Taurus can do it, the ammunition depots can also be hit…If we consider the bridge, I don't think Taurus is enough and we need to have an idea of how it might work, and for that we need satellite data. I don't know if we can train the Ukrainians for such a task in a short time, and we are talking about a month.”

“What would a Taurus attack on the bridge look like? From an operational perspective, I can't estimate how quickly the Ukrainians will be able to learn how to plan such an action and how quickly integration will occur. But since we are talking about the bridge and military bases, I understand they want to get them as soon as possible.”

ONE OF THE PARTICIPANTS SERVED AS A MILITARY ATTACHÉ IN US:

The head of the operations and exercises department of the Bundeswehr Air Force Command, Graefe who participated in the discussion of the attack on the Crimean Bridge, formerly served as a military attaché in the United States.

Another participant in the conversation, Air Force Inspector Gerhartz, has been in his post since 2018. One of the documents on the Bundeswehr website says that he has about 30 thousand people under his command. He is credited with an active role in the modernization of the German Air Force, and he himself is still an active military pilot.

So far the German Ministry of Defense, when asked by RIA Novosti, refused to comment on reports about the recording of a conversation between the German military about the strike on the Crimean Bridge.

Now all of this comes after Chancellor Olaf Scholz got pounded by his own colleagues, the UK & France for refusing to give Ukraine, long-distance Taurus missiles and urging that Germany will not become “an active participant” in the Ukraine conflict. He also said an accident could happen if Germany did supply these weapons that could reach as far as Moscow.
