The upstream dam locks are closed and the Dnieper is drying up in Zaporozhye region.

meaning that, with the downstream dam blown, fording opportunities will soon be present, yes?

Almost like... the dam pop was part of a plan or something

there are limits to how long the dams upstream can be totally closed before they overtop and fail

Those that read them are usually paid specifically to come to the "politically correct conclusion" anyway.

good thing ukraine was dumping record amounts of water into the kakhovka reservoir in the months leading up to its collapse then, should be plenty of volume in the upstream reservoirs

it does seems a bit irresponsible for ukraine to do that after they attacked and damaged the sluice gates on the kakhovka dam but i'm sure it was just an accident

exactly. So with the downstream dam gone, they can create an operational window by shutting the upstream (because the downstream dam can't just be shut to counter, because it's gone)

They're already there. Overnight a crack team drove down the now dry canal and infiltrated the entire peninsula. Putin is being served conditions for his full and immediate surrender as we speak.

They needed the segment of the river upriver of the northern drat they control to be as empty as possible, so they can close the remaining dam and let the downstream segment of the river drain, greating fords.

Assuming they have some plan for an offensive somewhere around Kherson or something

Look, are you going to tell some dude sitting in Lagrange 3 that Chernobyl isn't near the Urals?

It turns out it's a mistranslation of "born in the Urals, later in his childhood was evacuated to East Germany after Chernobyl". So just an implication of parents being technical experts who moved between projects, I guess.

A lot of the planning against Russia seems to be as reductionist basic as "We'll capture A, then attack the B point, take that then C will fall like a domino. So simple, victory is assurred!"

Then if you ask them "So what if you can't capture the A point?" you just get a blank uncomprehending stare back.
