From the size of it, I'd say it's about the size of Timothy McVeigh's Oklahoma city bomb, which was a 16 ton truck filled with fertilizer. All trucks over this bridge were supposedly inspected, so I think it would have to be a more compact explosive. Perhaps the secret services have classified explosives the could produce this kind of explosive punch just from a car trunk load?

The operative word is “supposedly.” I suspect the same corruption that is everywhere in the Russian sphere exists in their infrastructure security apparatus.
