Eipä tosta padon räjäyttämisestä voi muuta sanoa kuin että ryssä on maapallolle ryssä. Maailma todella olisi parempi paikka jos ryssiä ei olisi. Toivottavasti pannaan maksamaan, korkoineen.
Ja kuinka ollakaan Ukraina kertoi jo ajat sitten miten aikoo toimia..
Pato on nyt räjäytetty, artikkelissa puhuttiin patoluukkujen rei'ittämisestä sen verran, että tulva vaikeuttaa joen ylitystä mutta EI aiheuta kylien evakuointia. Tämä ei siis kuulunut Kovalchukin suunnitelmiin. Sinähän aina valitat siitä, että otetaan asioita irti kontekstista, joten lainataas nyt siitä artikkelista tämä osa kokonaan. Sama linkki.
The 25,000 Russian troops in that portion of Kherson, separated by the broad river from their supplies, had been placed in a highly exposed position. If enough military pressure was applied, Moscow would have no choice but to retreat, Kovalchuk said.
Russia had to arm and feed its forces via three crossings: the Antonovsky Bridge, the Antonovsky railway bridge and the Nova Kakhovka dam, part of a hydroelectric facility with a road running on top of it.
The two bridges were targeted with U.S.-supplied M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems — or HIMARS launchers, which have a range of 50 miles — and were quickly rendered impassable.
“There were moments when we turned off their supply lines completely, and they still managed to build crossings,” Kovalchuk said. “They managed to replenish ammunition. … It was very difficult.”
Kovalchuk considered flooding the river. The Ukrainians, he said, even conducted a test strike with a HIMARS launcher on one of the floodgates at the Nova Kakhovka dam, making three holes in the metal to see if the Dnieper’s water could be raised enough to stymie Russian crossings but not flood nearby villages.
The test was a success, Kovalchuk said, but the step remained a last resort. He held off
