The purpose of the attempt to destroy the dam of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station by the Ukrainian military was to flood the territories and tie down the actions of the RF Armed Forces

The Kyiv regime tried to destroy the dam of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station on the Dnieper River, which has been under the control of the Russian Armed Forces and the National Guard since late February. On the evening of April 15, the Russian Ministry of Defense informed the public about this.


The message of the military department says that at 7:00 a.m., the Armed Forces of Ukraine fired two missiles at the dam from the Tochka-U operational-tactical complex. This barbaric action was attempted by the 19th separate missile brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. However, the Russian air defense systems repulsed the missile attack, intercepting the flying ammunition. At the same time, unfortunately, fragments of one of the downed rockets fell on the city of Novaya Kakhovka in the Kherson region.


As a result, a woman and a child were injured, who received medical assistance (they are now in the hospital), as well as houses and a kindergarten were damaged. According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, the purpose of the attempt to destroy the dam of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station by the Ukrainian military was to flood the territories and fetter the actions of the RF Armed Forces.

The destruction of the dam of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station by a blow was supposed to lead to an uncontrolled discharge of the Dnieper water and cause the flooding of many settlements in the Kherson region, along with people, in order to fetter the actions of the Russian Armed Forces

- emphasized in the message of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.

The consequences and opinions of local residents were published on the web.


It should be noted that this is not the first time that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are trying to use hydraulic structures to slow down the advance of the Russian army. For example, they blew up one such facility near Kiev (a dam on the Irpin River) and flooded several villages north of the Ukrainian capital, and in the Kharkiv region, the dam of the Oskol reservoir, flooding settlements downstream of the Seversky Donets River. The Ukrainian security forces have experience, so it is not surprising that they swung at larger hydraulic structures.

      No, of course No. Therefore, they decided to drown the entire market with sellers and buyers like kittens? sad
      Is this how they behave in their own country? These people are their own or what?

          Attention! yes But people should know what they mean to the Ukrainian authorities, how important and valuable they are to it. "Leave nothing to the enemy" and no one, this is probably not quite the same thing. There is a difference in approaches, on the one hand, a special operation, on the other, a war of extermination.
          Yes, and Stalin is certainly not an authority for this public, especially since the scorched earth tactics are not his invention.

          Scorched earth tactics is a method of warfare that involves the destruction of everything usable, or potentially useful to the enemy. It is usually used during a retreat (retreating, the troops leave behind a devastated territory) or in conditions of fighting partisans.
          Originally the term referred to the practice of burning crops in the fields to destroy the enemy's food sources, the term now includes the destruction of shelters, vehicles, communications, industry, and industrial resources.
          This method of war was first described in Sun Tzu's book The Art of War. The use of such tactics has been known since antiquity. The rationale for tactics in modern times belongs to the Prussian general Karl Ludwig von Full

              Aha yes Do you remember with whom and for what you fought? Naturally, it was not yesterday that they came up with the idea of ​​destroying the infrastructure in the abandoned territory. The question is how do they do it. They simply don’t care about the population, these people are nothing to them, just garbage.
              You are missing the difference in approaches. For Russia, this is a special operation, leaving them under Kyiv, as far as I remember, they didn’t blow up the bridges behind them, and they didn’t try to drown Kyiv itself by blowing up the dam. And the Ukrainians have no moral torments. These are finished bastards.

                      Are flooded settlements mud and puddles? You do not understand what a reservoir at a hydroelectric power station is? Can you imagine what 18 cubic kilometers is?
                      Following this logic, 11/XNUMX skyscrapers are just dust.

                      Hydroelectric complex of Kakhovskaya HPP. The total volume of the reservoir is 18,18 km³, useful - 6,78 km³, depth 8,4 m (max. - 32 m). The normal retaining level is 16 m, the horizon of the dead volume is 12,7 m, the mirror area at the FSL is 2150 km².

                        Listen carefully: right in the video: flooded. Demolished by the stream - nowhere to be found.

                        Yes, I looked at the map and checked it. There is a wide floodplain, apparently from time to time the water is lowered. And there are no settlements in the floodplain. There are no fools anywhere to climb under a possible accident, despite the margin of safety ..

                        Simultaneous undermining of the entire dam could and would have caused a water hammer nearby, but this, thank God, happens mainly in Hollywood ....

                        Did you listen to it yourself? It begins like this - the day before, the Russian military prevented a strike on the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station.
                        Since the blow was prevented, what should be the flows?

                        Simultaneous undermining of the entire dam could and would have caused a water hammer nearby, but this, thank God, happens mainly in Hollywood ....

                        So it's nothing to worry about? Well, then it remains to express the hope that there is some kind of dam of comparable scale upstream of your place of residence and you yourself had a chance to try how it is to run through the puddles after its destruction.
                        I suppose you don’t consider this a wish for something bad, it’s okay, the dust will beat, the garden will water hi

                        Yes, what could be the flows from the impact of 2 not the most powerful missiles on the dam with a multiple margin of safety?

                        Are you getting personal? so there is nothing more to say.

                        Not the strongest missiles? I mean, not a nuclear bomb, okay? What kind of rocket do you think is "truly strong"?
                        Am I getting personal? Is it? I just wished to successfully beat the dust and water the garden. And there really isn't much to say. If a person does not want to hear something, it is useless to speak to him. I can only show a picture in the topic.
                        This is what the remains of a "not the most powerful rocket" look like

                        Wah.
                        Everybody argue..
                        1) re-look at the map., measure the floodplain part in width
                        2) even with me, where there is no hydroelectric power station nearby, the houses are at a height of at least 10m. from the level.. Water meadows - 500 meters. Bridge 2 meters high - often flooded, 4 meters - rarely.
                        3) There were posts that if the tail of OUR rocket is stuck somewhere, then they say it’s okay, this accelerator worked and fell off ... ((((

                        And: ... 9N123F - high-explosive fragmentation warhead with 162,5 kg of explosive
                        Almost like an Iskander ....

                        compare with the first available:
                        RSM-54 "Sineva" ..... It is possible to equip the rocket with a high-explosive fragmentation warhead with an explosive mass of about 2 tons .....
                        15 times more...

                        or medium KAB-500S - 195kg - a little more...

                        Are you trying to justify everything?

                        And: ... 9N123F - high-explosive fragmentation warhead with 162,5 kg of explosive
                        Almost like an Iskander ....

                        What is the meaning of these comparisons? Do the APU have them? They used probably the most powerful that is in service. Do you regret that there was nothing more serious?

    What kind of deer prints manuals for these warriors? The water will subside. And the river for the army is something like that. The maximum day was delayed .... The question is who planned this, God forgive him, special operation. Have you ever seen a map of Ukraine? You didn't see anything. Why do bridges across the Dnieper still exist? And why, instead of a super landing in Gostomel, was it not possible to organize a cut-off in two regions of the Zhytomer and Khmelnytsky regions? What was not smart enough? Or potency? Or is this a special operation not against the Ukronazis, but against Russia? bully
