Now, the concentration is no longer even because they've been disturbed and moved, and the Russians no longer know where they exactly are - meaning they don't know safe corridors to move and respond to attacks through. As well, some are buried, some are flipped, some have gone off when the flooding took place. Obviously we wouldn't know until an attack took place, but facing a disturbed minefield is better than a dense designed minefield. And yes, they might not be able to run heavy equipment and heavier vehicles across the river and muddy approaches right now, but with entrenchments and defenses damaged by the flood they might be able to push forward with attacks by infantry and lighter vehicles.

Why Russian blow up their own dam? Let me think. They Didn't Maybe after they also somehow blow up their own pipeline base from your so called media( until resently, because now they backtrack it)which more correctly it's called propaganda. They thought mmm. let's blow also our dam. If you are so delusional to not only believe that Russian did it but also pushing this narrative. Then just say that you want to believe that Russian did, so you can feel good about yourself because of your brainwashing and lack of thinking. Let me help you think. Let's see who gains from this. First the dam was in control of Russian which means no reason for destroying it. Second, which is funny! Ukrainians themselves say in a article Washington post ( also in different channels)about how happy they were that they managed to HIT! this same dam with Himars missile some months ago because this will put in dangers the Russians troops in Kerson region which until then was under Russian control. And which they choose to leave for this exact reason. Third. Crimea was supply water from this dam and always has been a subject of concern for the Russian of how valnerable It is if something happened. As it did. Fourth, before the destruction of this dam Ukraine had close the flood gates of dams higher up few days ago. Then as the dam was destroyed these close higher up dams open fully the flood gates to do, as much damage as possible. There are videos of these by Ukrainians civilians. Fifth. The side which has the lower elevation and which most of the damage will have happened( as it did) is the Russian control one. ( how strange) Sixth. Many of the defense positions of Russian in kerson were flooded which mean less pressure on Ukrainian in the other side of the river making the "ground" more easily for future offense actions in the Russian direction. Seventh. Also in the Zaphorizia region now that the water level ( region before the dam) is lower or has dry up Russian hadn't build many fortifications there because of the river that existed and which now opens the door for offense in the Russian region or in the best case putting pressure and changing the available troops for the Russians. (even though motorized vehicle can't cross for some time Ukraine already started probing with troops). Eighth. As the Ukrainians offensive didn't and doesn't have accomplished anything it was and is very beneficial and that's why they destroyed it. From putting more pressure on Russia to more funding and weapons and no bearing the responsibility of blowing it up. Everything is in favor of Ukraine and disadvantage of Russia but somehow you want me to believe that the Russian did. It? If you still can't see the truth, you need to see a doctor. And be prepared for many more provocations and" accidents "as the Ukraine will continue to be unhindered because of the west double standards.

Your videos really cheer me up

The casualty rates you quote on the Russian side seem low. This is especially true considering what Prigozhin has said. He has stated outright that the Russian MoD has grossly underreported casualties. I expect that the western intelligence estimates are mostly obtained using indirect methods and by being skeptical of Ukranian reporting, not based on any solid reporting from the ground.

Of course they're fumbling the numbers, the Russian government first sent in the rebels from the regions, then when they were mostly exhausted started shipping in men from surrounding countries because they "technically" weren't counted as Russian losses. Now they're bringing men from Syria and Iran if that gives you an idea of how things have gone. *Something's gotta give and it certainly won't be Ukraine if nukes aren't involved... (and even then NATO will be fighting because nukes were involved.)*

While it is unlikely that the Russians blew the dam, the "proof" (as you call it) is only proof if you assume that the Russians give a single fuck about Ukraine, the Ukrainians or the Russians living in the affected areas. As far as I have seen this entire war, they don't give a f***. So why would they start caring now? The more likely explanation is poor management (by the Russian's) and a break in the dam, due to this mismanagement which is the fault of the Russians (for starting the war and creating the conditions for this mismanagement in the first place)

Interesting and informative. Excellent photography job enabling viewers to better understand what/whom the orator is describing. Of course the dam was purposely destroyed. It places the Ukraine at a grave disadvantage electricity wise.

Imagine being that Russian drummer who dropped his drum

I loved the inclusion of the Russian marching musician dropping his instrument and almost getting trampled trying to pick it up 😂

Would like to revisit this video now and create part 2

That's really terrible that happened

The fact that Ukraine blew up the dam in Demydiv in 2022 to stall the advance on Kiev, that Ukraine discussed blowing up the kakhovka dam early in the war, or that Russia had control of the dam. Also the area flooded was south of the river(Ukraine had the higher ground) which is Russian controlled and mostly Russian nationals. Or finally that the destruction hurts Russia more and that Russian soldiers were washed away meaning they weren't prepared for the explosion. Non of these things were mentioned in this projected theory.

Ukraine were in the middle of a large scale counter attack and had several bridgeheads over the Dnipro, preparing to move toward Crimea and the sea of Azov when the dam blew.

7:43. Note, the railway bridge is what ran on top of the dam. The road bridge ran alongside the dam. 8:56. You left out that HIMARS strikes were used to severely damage the road and rail link across the dam. There was a choke point where both ran close together over the locks in the dam. That was the point targeted as it wouldn't damage the dam itself. It took several attacks to achieve their goal, but it worked. Also, the main Ukrainian attack came from the north of the pocket, not the west.

Dam!

This analysis is lacking to take into account several important facts: 1) Russians do not have problem mentioned to defend 900km of front line since mine fields takes care of Ukrainian forces for the most parts; 2) Blowing the dam put removes water from Crimea water canal which was mentioned as critical for Russians (that even mentioned as caused the whole invasion at the first place). That was presented as Russians do not want to keep Crimea in the long term and of course not as Ukrainians blowing the dam in the first place.

@@jv-man3698 I Totally agree that damns in all cases when the environment is not considered when they are built (which is bascially all of them) are harmful and do destroy nature. However, you cannot say that the burst of so many tonnes of water canned up behind they dam was natural for the flora and fauna engulfed in it afterwards. Both due to it being too much water flowing in the same time, damaging the wildlife and habitats it engulfed, but also acclimated and adapted new ecosystems (and man-made agriculture and forestry forests) was no ready to all of a sudden have this level of water cramed into it. So yes, the damage of nature CAUSED by the dams eruption is definetly ecocide, however, building damns without considering how to avoid negative effects on ecoystems surronding it, is also ecocide.

war is such a massive waste of human potential. absolute tragedy. that's why i'm an anarchist. we need a global confederation of regular people controlling their own affairs in peace

I still don't really buy that Russia would blow the dam. Would Ukraine really cross the river in full force if they knew Russia could blow it at anytime? Maybe it's my simple video game brain speaking but that sounds like a suicide mission to me. If you cross with massive amount of equipment it could just be washed away, or best case scenario, be cut off from resupply no? Also, couldn't you just open the gates of the dam and have a similar effect to blowing it up or is it not fast enough?
