Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By woozman: Neglect would imply accidental. This was clearly no accident it’s not like a chunk of the dam broke off… the whole damn dam is gone Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By woozman: Originally Posted By RockNwood: Originally Posted By MelGibsonEnthusiast: I just don't see any upside for the Ukrainians here, and it fits with Russia's MO of throwing hissy fits when things don't go well for them on the battlefield. Yeah, it'll fuck with Crimea's water supply long term, but I think that the Russians have likely come to the conclusion that denying the Ukrainians that territory in the short term is worth it. I suppose that it could be the Ukrainians, because this will supposedly flood the Russian controlled left bank more and will probably destroy their defensive positions there. Still, my gut instinct tells me that this was Russia. I could be wrong, but that's my position until further evidence emerges. Although it generally helps Ukraine, I am thinking more it was Russian neglect. Neglect would imply accidental. This was clearly no accident it’s not like a chunk of the dam broke off… the whole damn dam is gone Then it would be an inside charge. The Allies tried taking out out dams in WWII with artillery and bombs. After many attempts, no dice. Finally had to develop special bombing technique and bombs to accomplish it. The dam did not go down from a one time artillery bombardment. Doing so is a well known international war crime. Ukraine would absolutely not do that. Russia does that daily. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By JLAudio: It has a huge military and morale benefit to Ukraine. Crimea is ethnically Russian, they voted 48/52 in the 1991 USSR breakup. History does mean things, you know? The lowest independent voting district in Ukraine versus the others, other districts were 80%+ in their votes. It's obvious who benefits in the destruction of this dam. None of what you said is a military benefit. It has no military benefit to Ukraine and huge military benefit to Russia. Blowing the dam also seriously degrades Ukraine's electrical generation capacity and floods many of their towns and cities, none of which boosts morale. |

Yep water is very high and initial breach was not that big. But once a section is weakened the moving water starts eroding shit everywhere and anything floating downstream becomes a battering ram. Could have been purposefully allowed to get high to maximize destruction when breached. Or the high water does what excessive loads and erosion do to structures. |

Russia keeps changing its' story about the dam. Totally not making it up as they go along
So which of the reported orc reasons for dam failure was it? Read the attached and sit back for a good old WTF Russia moment. The Kakhovka hydroelectric power station (HPP) in the Kherson region was damaged as a result of shelling by the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU), the upper part was destroyed. This was announced by the mayor of Novaya Kakhovka Vladimir Leontiev , his words are quoted by RIA Novosti . The head of the city said that the dam was not destroyed and called it "great happiness." Earlier on June 6, the Russian Spring Military Correspondents reported that the Armed Forces of Ukraine (APU) had attacked the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station (HPP). According to them, the water level downstream of the Dnieper began to rise. After that, Leontiev denied the information about the undermining of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station by Ukrainian troops. According to him, the data about the attack of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the hydroelectric power station were "nonsense." The politician noted that everywhere "in the city everything is quiet and calm." Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station collapsed due to damage to the support A TASS source in the authorities reported that the dam of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station was destroyed due to damage to the support, the dam could not stand it, after which the territories were flooded. The interlocutor noted that it was quiet at night, there were no arrivals. The agency clarified that it does not have official confirmation of information from the authorities and law enforcement agencies. The mayor of Nova Kakhovka called the destruction of the valves of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station the most serious terrorist attack Vladimir Leontiev called the destruction of valves at the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station, which led to the release of water, the most serious act of terrorism. The head of Nova Kakhovka also said that there was no need for the evacuation of the local population due to the release of water. Kakhovka HPP is the sixth (lower and last) stage of the cascade of Dnieper hydroelectric power plants, located five kilometers from the city of Novaya Kakhovka, Kherson region. Its destruction could lead to the death of thousands of people. |

The Zaporizhzhia power plant, which benefits from the water from the dam for cooling purposes, has been under Russian control since 2022.

Russian terrorists. The destruction of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant dam only confirms for the whole world that they must be expelled from every corner of Ukrainian land. Not a single meter should be left to them, because they use every meter for terror. It’s only Ukraine's victory that will return security. And this victory will come. The terrorists will not be able to stop Ukraine with water, missiles or anything else. All services are working. I have convened the National Security and Defense Council. Please spread official and verified information only. |

Yeah, this should be a justification for allowing Western weapons to be used on Russian soil. Every second they spend in Ukraine is a second too long, because they're able to do things like this, like Bucha, like the deportations of Ukrainian children, like the filtration camps, etc. It's one of the reasons why I'm not a fan of the whole "boiling the frog" idea with regards to Western weapons. Even if we accept the idea that we're "boiling the frog" as a deliberate effort to degrade Russia, it still enables the Russians to stay longer and continue to pull bullshit like this. |

My fathers country....I love this country so much.....but god fucken damn it do some people love slurping orckish cock because of the media love. I will NEVER NEVER EVER FORGIVE THEM FOR what they did to my great grandfather and grandfather after 1956. The lots of you got to know your grandparents...... I never knew them and I really wish I did..... but they did horribly thanks to the KGB and AVO. NAKED, clinging to each other FROZEN solid together.... fuck that whole country...fuck their whole people....and may god ground them to powder like Germany and Japan and they are back to wearing pig loins and caves wearing nothing else....waltzing around barefoot looking for vodka an borscht. |

Well said
Russians know that their defeat in Ukraine is inevitable. The destruction of the Nova Kakhovka hydroelectric dam is not only an act of desperation but especially an act of terror and petty vengeance. The military component is negligible and actually even by rules of engagement a clear war crime despite the fact Ukrainian forces made some decent progress downstream, because it primarily and indiscriminately hits civilians. But this was also the point. This act of terror targets the civilian population in Kherson. Since day one the good citizens of the whole Kherson Oblast defied the occupation. We all saw the pictures of Kherson city during the occupation, but it happened everywhere where Russians arrived. Russians have never been welcome. Ask any Russian soldier who was there and in a quiet moment he will spill the beans. There were no flowers, but pure hate, and later even bombs, until the defeated Russian army was forced to flee in shame. It is no different in the still occupied territories south and east of the Dnipro river. The citizens in those areas are yearning for their liberation by the Ukrainian army, which is only a matter of time. Russians are furious that their lies told by the regime in Moscow are nothing but fairy tales. The Russians, or known as "Moscovians" are hated in Ukraine and for this the dam was blown up. It is a collective punishment for not yielding. Those Russian Nero-orders do not come by surprise. They are acts of a dying regime and a defeated army. They are telling us that this war is about to end. The last chapter of this tragedy, which Russia has started in 2014, has been opened. The end of the war and Russkiy Mir begins. |
