Suspect A posted:Is this going to decrease or cut off the flow into the Crimean Canal? According to some reports it has temporarily reversed the flow as the reservoir is now below the canal entrance. Note that the canal was mostly for irrigation purposes; Crimea supplies most of its own drinking water and if the settlers are fleeing then no one's likely to go thirsty. Russia isn't shooting Crimea in the foot, but it is a tacit admission that they weren't planning on holding the canal.

Well there goes one of Russia's primary goals it's still kept from the beginning of the war gone.

There was fighting in the area for months. It could've been damaged and unable to be repaired. It could've been sabotaged months ago. It's not in Ukraine's or Russia's interest to blow the dam outright.

This will lower the salinity of the Black Sea and sink all the ships there.

This is old footage from 2022, it's not from today. That was during Russia's retreat when they blew the road covering their retreat from Kherson

It's not in Ukraine's or Russia's interest to blow the dam outright. Russia has not been bothering to release water in response to spring inflows. The reservoir was at record high levels and there were reports that it was overspilling the dam structure, which would have threatened a potential collapse all by itself without a specific act of destruction.

https://twitter.com/davidhelms570/status/1665923126293569536?s=20 There's a theory going around that the dam was neglected until it failed. Not maintained, different amounts of water would get released upstream but sluice gates at the downstream dam weren't changed for months. That brings up the question: was this the desired effect or did the planners just assume the dam would be fine? RandomPauI fucked around with this message at 05:44 on Jun 6, 2023 |

Yeah, considering how things currently work in Russia, odds are some contractor/officer took the cash to maintain the dam and simply didn't do much or at all. On the bright side- hey, new dachas!

All I know about submarines is that they are long and hard and full of sperm. Antigravitas posted:You shouldn't dive anywhere near the Danish isles The Danish isles has tons of areas where the water is so shallow you can walk on it during low tide. jmnmu posted:https://twitter.com/evanhill/status...e55480fecfe%2F0 Well, one thing it would do is make the river uncrossable, or at least very hard to cross by boat even if it doesn't flood much. That sounds like something the Russians would want to happen.

the holy poopacy posted:According to some reports it has temporarily reversed the flow as the reservoir is now below the canal entrance. Within the first 2 or 3 days of the invasion, russian forces destroyed the plug dam Ukraine had constructed to block off the canal, allowing water to flow. It was part of the same high-energy pre-planned and largely successful series of early deep incursions that also led to the takeover of the ZNPP so quickly. These seemed like super high priority targets for the russians. Hoping the burst dam waters flush away much of the left-bank invader positions. frumpykvetchbot fucked around with this message at 06:26 on Jun 6, 2023 |

On the bright side- hey, new dachas! It just happened to completely fail the same night that the Ukrainian counter-offensive started? World’s biggest coincidence. Does anyone have any idea how fast the floodwaters would rise? Will civilians have enough time to evacuate?

Oldsmobile posted:All I know about submarines is that they are long and hard and full of sperm. The northern bank and the land behind it in general is higher ground than the southern bank, so ultimately it makes the Russians lose ground and force them to back away. It also makes the roads on the Russian side even worse, and if it cuts the road P57 it leaves the western part of the peninsula without a major road access. So there is a good chance that Russia just flooded at least a couple of brigades worth of its own equipment here. Der Kyhe fucked around with this message at 07:40 on Jun 6, 2023 |

The Finnish Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority STUK is saying that since the reactors at Zaporižžja have been shut down, the heat produced by the fuel itself isn't high enough to pose a real problem. Rosatom apparently agrees, no China Syndrome incoming!

Rosatom apparently agrees, no China Syndrome incoming! I suspect it'll never be able to start up again though. May not even be decomissionable, depending on how spicy the inside of the reactor dome gets.

Hadn't russia threatened to blow up the dam before and I thought it was reported as rigged with explosives? edit - I could be mixing it up with any number of civilian infrastructure russia has threatened to destroy to be fair hemale in pain fucked around with this message at 11:18 on Jun 6, 2023 |
