The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine simulated the situation with the blowing up of the dam of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station and the transition to the offensive in the Kherson direction

The breakthrough of the dam of the Kakhovka reservoir and the subsequent flood washed away the line of defense of the Russian troops on the left bank, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have the opportunity to strike in the Kherson direction, until the Russians create a new one. This possibility is being considered by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The Ukrainian General Staff simulated the situation with the destruction of the dam of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station during the counteroffensive, but only after the landing and capture of the bridgehead on the left bank, probably referring to the establishment of control at the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant. The destruction of the dam leads to the loss of Russian positions hidden under water, since the left bank is more gentle than the right, and then a blow is struck that overturns the defense of the Russian army.

According to the calculations of the General Staff, the water should be gone in 10-15 days, this time will not be enough to build a new line of defense for the Russian army, so the operation must begin immediately after the lowering of the Dnieper. This option was considered in the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. How things are now is not known.

The day before, several Ukrainian sources reported that Zelensky held an emergency meeting of the headquarters, at which the counteroffensive plan was adjusted to take into account the dam breakthrough, but the main provisions remained unchanged. Most likely, and no one knows for sure, Kyiv will launch an offensive in the Zaporozhye direction, as the most promising.

According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, after the loss of bridgeheads, the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine decided to go on the defensive in the Kherson direction, the construction of fortifications on the right bank has already begun. At the same time, units and units of the Ukrainian army are being transferred to other sectors of the front.

I understand that on June 4,5,6 there were no offensives? They just took such a fun hit in five directions, lost a tank battalion, over 100 units. BBM, well, of course, no one considered the personnel, on the contrary, they finished off their own from the "Bucephalus" by landing, as it was near Novodonetsky on June 6.

Niii, sharovarnye said that "... they felt it."

Did our oracle Prigozhin point north, in the direction of Belgorod? And he even called on the stupid Gerasimov to listen. Or was Prigogine prudently pointing in all directions so as not to screw up?
So think about who to believe ..... Here it is ......

Of course, I can be wrong, but the probability of undermining this dam was one of the reasons for leaving Kherson last year. Even then, this option was considered. Here it happened. What's next?

It's time to get the hell out of Osokorkov.

a counteroffensive, about which there is a lot of talk, a lot of preparation... big media hype, but what real prospects do they have???
Apparently, even among foreign guardians, most of the illusions have divorced, although they do not want to cut their own wishes, they cannot, by definition.
What is collected, prepared and armed now will probably "burn out", will be graved at once, if they move to fulfill the wishes of foreign and their leaders, and then, to restore this ... will they be able to, is that a question ???

not the general headquarters of the APU it is strange that there is such a thing, but NATO recently modeled the news that NATO models all possible actions for the APU

Wait, nothing has been decided yet. There, in Volchansk, more than 6 thousand dill with heavy equipment and reinforcements hang around ...

To the question - why the hell would Russia blow up. if you can stupidly open the floodgates - the Ukrainians begin to cackle inarticulately

[rotmistr60]

therefore, the operation must be started immediately after the decrease in the level of the Dnieper

And do not get stuck in the mud-silt remaining after the decline of the water? Or will hovercraft that don't exist go ahead? Something was not conjectured in the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. And why did it suddenly, after three days of "probing" the Russian defense and huge losses, suddenly decide to dig in on the right bank? It was smooth on paper...

That the destruction of the Kakhovka dam gives xoxlam (IMHO, of course):
1. The water spill pushed the positions of the RF Armed Forces at least ten kilometers to the southeast, which reduces pressure on the defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the right bank.
2. Now the breakthrough of the RF Armed Forces to Kherson and Odessa is impossible.
3. The troops of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are being released for their transfer under the ZNPP and to the South-Donetsk sector of the front.
4. After the water drains, the Left Bank will turn into a giant swamp, which will greatly complicate maneuvers with reserves for the RF Armed Forces.
This is offhand. If anything - I have never been an expert, I do not pretend to be the truth.

A breakthrough to Odessa became impossible after the surrender of Kherson.

[lukash66]

And the sharovars will fly through this swamp on wings?)))

Ukroführer holds a meeting of the General Staff. Somewhere it was already. It ended for the predecessor, to put it mildly, not very much. Although he, too, was very fond of his generals and field marshals to teach the mind to reason. And from the age of 44 he almost personally intervened in the management of divisions and regiments. And again, he loved the fortified cities very much.
