🇷🇺🇺🇦 On the Detonation of the Kurakhovske Reservoir Dam
The internet is abuzz with discussions about the Ukrainian forces detonating the dam of the Kurakhovske Reservoir with a volume of 62 million cubic meters. According to reports, the AFU damaged the sluices in the area of Stari Ternî: this led to the flooding of the Volchia River, which flows in a westerly direction.
At the moment, the Ukrainian authorities are reporting a "slight rise in the water level in the river". The villages of Stari Ternî and Shevchenko, located close to the shore, are in the risk zone. The internet has already shown footage from the opposing side demonstrating the difficulties with vehicle traffic.
The probable flood zone will stretch for dozens of kilometers west of Kurakhovо up to the village of Bogatyr. All the settlements are located in a lowland, so the water is unlikely to go beyond the residential areas.
🔻 Although the opponent was clearly guided by the intention to slow down the advancing Russian Armed Forces, the effectiveness of such measures is questionable. Given the current configuration of the front line, by the time the main Russian forces approach Stari Ternî, the water level will most likely start to recede.
Of course, the Ukrainian resources, in their characteristic manner, blamed the "Russian shelling" for the incident, but artillery shell hits can hardly cause any serious damage to the dam. In contrast to the charges pre-planted in the right places.
📌 By the way, this is far from the first such action by the AFU: in addition to the Kakhovka HPP dam, the opponent has previously destroyed dams near Kozarovychi, Bakhmut, Avdiivka and other locations during retreats. Moreover, in some cases, this "scorched earth" tactic even led to the flooding of Ukrainian units.
