Why the Destruction of This Dam is Breaking Ukraine

The flood resulting from the destruction of a dam has to be one of the most terrifying events a person can experience.

I remember the minutes after the drone footage from the dam dropped- all I felt was awe and horror. This was a man-made natural disaster that displaced as much water as a small typhoon.

Бож 06.06.Антихриста !?😳как на Крымск 07.07.2012 Иван- Купала был сброс воды из водохранилища! Трупы людей животных валялись на дорогах 😳 😔

the thing about the draining of the reservoirs leaving behind mud flats, is it dried up very quickly, at least the surface did, so it can probably be crossed with light vehicles, and maybe putting down some sheets of metal or planks of wood

To put this perspective. The Dam destroyed in WW2 was only 2.7 million acre/ft. This one was 14.7 million

Props to that soldier at 13:16 that was still able to maintain step and beat throughout that mess

Thank you for this wonderful video! I have incurred so much losses trading on my own....I trade well on demo but I think the real market is manipulated.... Can anyone help me out or at least tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Imagine making an analysis based on information gathered on CNN and you get this

The thing is, Ukraine can keep probing the northern banks of the river and Russian lines, keeping Russian troops there, until the lower reaches of the river firm up. While the river is a temporary barrier, its destruction also disturbed and opened up new routes through mine fields.

8:30 Sun Tsu said to leave your enemy a route of escape. The reason why is because they're far more dangerous when they're fighting to the death. The Kherson retreat saved a lot of UA lives.

Love the channel. Im remembering just now how you totally called the natural gas issue with Russia vs Ukraine like so far ahead of everyone else. It’s amazing how much detail you put into this channel. You deserve every subscriber and even more so. Thanks again.

crazy to think i'd see you back on my recommended page haha, going strong with the channel man. been watching ur vids since 2018, much love.

Anyone else laugh at the poor fellow whos drum dropped at 13:16?

That’s correct that they would blow the dam when the water is at its highest.
That’s how the date for the Dam Busters raid was chosen during WW2 (max water height and no moon).

Ive read about this ad nauseum, watched this entire video - and I still don't understand why either side would want to do this.

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.

In theory, you could install a temporary water intake structure in the river and use pumps to keep canals and cooling ponds filled. Not efficient but doable.
PS — California aqueduct and Colorado River aqueduct are examples of large scale aqueducts that require extensive pumping to function
PS2 — Don’t expect any progress on restoring irrigation water until after war concludes.

One thing to keep in mind: "Soviet-built" does NOT mean "built by Russians".

best part of the video is at 13:16 when the drummer blunders and tries to run away before getting sent to the gulag 🤣

Another problem is all the land mines that were swept away and dumped downstream due to the floods.

So a lot of minefield maps of the region are no longer accurate.
