Lot of theories about how it was done. To me, Occam’s razor suggests it’s a lot easier to pay a few Russian guards to let a truck full of TNT pass by a checkpoint then get a big boat past Russian defenses.

True. You don't even have to pay them. Hide the TNT under the "regular" load. If the truck comes through frequently, nobody is going to look too hard. The poor guy driving the truck undoubtedly didn't know what he was carrying IMHO. Could have been a suicide bomber, but I doubt it. You needed a "regular" so nobody asks questions.

There are some "issues" however. The section of bridge that fell into the sea doesn't look damaged on the travel surface. It also appears to have moved up and sideways. An explosion from above doesn't do that. There may be an explanation, but it isn't clear yet IMHO.
