Regardless of who did it this is going to hurt Russia the most.  Crimea is fucked now.  If the Russians did it to slow Ukraine’s offensive they did it at a great cost to themselves.  If Ukraine did it, it shows they plan on doing their offensive else where and they know how much this fucks the Russians long term.

Z Man's grand offensive is like a fart in the wind and hasn't had anything thing to with this area.  So the Russians just decide to blow the dam, because... reasons?

They're still there.  The Western Slavs haven't beaten back the Eastern Slavs despite all the money and advanced weapons, now Z Man's offensive has stalled.

What better thing to get the west's attention than another mass shooting, I mean "crisis", what with Zelensky demanding all our Patriots.

And as we saw with Bakhmut, as soon as it was lost, Z Man went "oh well it's just all rubble anyway".

I'm sure the Ukraine propaganda will be in full mode tomorrow, with the Dwarf King (5'4") demanding billions for rebuilding.

Edit:  Hey wait, weren't their pictures of Ukrainian jets with British cruise missiles just posted the other day on here?   Curious.

I think it's a little early to say that counter offensive has failed. Seems like that was said before early on and they ended up doing pretty well retaking a lot of ground.

Both the reactors and the spent fuel pools have intakes from the Kakhovka reservoir, depending on how low the reservoir (now a river again) drops it could cause issues.

The floodplains are mainly on the Ukraine side, and flooding the islands would remove many of the structures the Ukrainians are using to hide and create staging points.

The mining efforts of the Russians on the east/south side of the river (controlled by Russia) will probably be washed away, but the lower banks are high enough to limit the flood damage. The dam was not working properly and the river was very high due to heavy rainfall.

Here is a flood simulation by the US Army Corps of Engineers.

Model of a 200 - 1800 m dam break at the Nova Kakhovka dam

Australia will send some F-18s!

Retired RAAF fighter jets could be sent to Ukraine
Jun 6, 2023 – 5.00am

Australia, the US and Ukraine are discussing sending 41 Royal Australian Air Force F/A-18 Hornets to Kyiv helping fulfil part of President Volodymyr Zelensky’s request for fighter jets, rather than sending them to the scrapheap as planned.
Sources have told The Australian Financial Review that the US, which recently gave permission to other Western allies to supply Ukraine with advanced fighter jets, including US-made F-16s, is favourably disposed to the idea of gifting Ukraine the F/A-18s.
