Ukrainian Armed Forces drone attacks operating power unit No. 3 of Smolensk NPP

An enemy force was neutralized on the territory of the Smolensk Nuclear Power Plant DroneAccording to Rosatom, the incident occurred on the night of September 12 in the area of ​​the station’s third power unit.

As RBC reports, citing the press service of the state corporation, the suppressed EW Ukrainian UAV detonated near the ventilation stack of the reactor compartment of the operating power unit. As a result of the explosion, the window structures of several auxiliary rooms were damaged, including the start-up and backup boiler room and the refrigeration station.

At the same time, Rosatom's official statement emphasizes that the attack did not result in the destruction of critical infrastructure. Fortunately, there were no casualties among the personnel.

The operation of the nuclear power plant was not interrupted, all three power units continue to function in normal mode with a total capacity of 3031 MW. The radiation background at the industrial site and adjacent territory remains within the natural values ​​and has not changed since the incident.

It is worth recalling that this is not the first attempt to attack the Smolensk NPP - the previous incident was recorded on August 18, but even then the damage was minimal. Meanwhile, such episodes once again confirm that the Kiev regime is ready to use openly terrorist methods, without adhering to any norms and "red lines".

Don't give in to provocations?

Not at all. We are not like that.

And what would you personally suggest, I wonder?

[Sky strike fighter]

Act according to the laws of wartime and respond adequately to such attacks, otherwise the enemies have completely lost their way, they do whatever they want and there is no tough response. Although you might be satisfied with another concern. So what if they hit a nuclear power plant. What's the big deal? Provocateurs.

From this point on, more details, please. What exactly what would you do if you were now on Putin's revenge, for example?

Sorry, but this is a question from the series if only mushrooms grew in his mouth. If only he carried cartridges.

Then I don’t understand the purpose of your previous speech:

Quote: Sky Strike fighter

Act according to the laws of wartime and respond adequately to such attacks

You are talking about something you cannot even imagine. Why, I wonder?

[Sky strike fighter]

Well, how do we respond to lawlessness, for example, to strikes on nuclear power plants, otherwise we have completely lost our fear. And if they soon start striking the nuclear arsenal in the same way, will we react the same way? They are checking our reaction and if it works, they raise the bar of escalation. How do we slow this down before it is too late or not, should we wait for the apocalypse?

[Paranoid62]

Quote: Sky Strike fighter

Well, somehow we have to respond to the lawlessness.

Cool. How exactly to answer - you don't know. Whether they answer or not - you also don't know. But you still started a wave.

Question: For what purpose did you drive her?

[Sky strike fighter]

So it was me who started the wave, and not those who are attacking the nuclear power plant? Cool.

Well, what can I say? Be patient further, if you are okay with them hitting nuclear power plants. There are no more questions.

You can answer the question. Or not answer, which will be interpreted as consent. Again:

[Sky strike fighter]

That is, when, let's say, strikes on our nuclear arsenal begin, will you just as furiously expose those who have questions about our reaction to the blatant lawlessness of our Western partners? There are no questions for our Western partners, no matter what they do. The only problem is that someone there is indignant, asking uncomfortable questions.

[Paranoid62]

Quote: Sky Strike fighter

That is, when, for example, attacks on our nuclear arsenal begin, you will just as furiously expose those who have questions...?

I thought I asked you a question. Should I repeat it?

And don't try to think for others, you can think for yourself... well, not very well.

[Sky strike fighter]

You seem to be doing a great job of thinking for yourself and for others, as I see it. All you have to do is not give in to provocations, no matter who or what they do. The main thing is to shut someone's mouth if they start to complain about inaction.

[Paranoid62]

You seem to be really good at thinking for yourself and for others.

[evgenii67]

They have already hit the nuclear triad component, or rather the strategists, and before that the over-the-horizon radar. Well, something like that. What are we talking about if trains with respected partners are still calmly arriving in Kyiv? You can't cut out the top, you can't terrorize 404 during the owners' visits either, but what are you going to do??? Negotiate

[Piramidon]

Quote: Sky Strike fighter

Act according to the laws of wartime and respond adequately to such attacks

Do you think our guys are sitting there and doing nothing in response? You can't see from your couch that hundreds of strikes are being carried out on the 404 territory every day. Is your couch by any chance in some Canadian province?

[Sky strike fighter]

Give more freedom to your imagination. In another galaxy my sofa is most likely. Fantasize further.

Quote: Piramidon

Yes, we know that blows are constantly being delivered. But somehow we can't see or feel any positive effects from these blows. Especially on the LBS, they are neither warm nor cold. And all because, apparently, these blows are not aimed in the right direction.

Quote: Gritsa

Well, that's how you should understand it... it's only our strikes with hundreds of Geraniums and dozens of missiles that have no effect, but the strikes of a dozen Ukro-drones made of shit and sticks destroyed the entire Black Sea fleet, a third of the strategic aviation and a fifth of all Russian oil refineries were simply blown to smithereens. It's just not clear why they haven't yet struck our bridges and tunnels, the destruction of which leads to the enemy's almost immediate capitulation. Apparently the Ukro-oligarchs, who have their own interests in Russia, have arranged a deal.
The main thing here is to look from the right point of view.

[nik-mazur]

Quote: Sky Strike fighter

respond adequately to such attacks

Are you suggesting that we launch our drone at some Ukrainian nuclear power plant, blow it up near a ventilation pipe and break the windows of the utility rooms?

[Lako]

What back rooms? Today, Ukraine is ruled by a terrorist regime led by Zelensky. The terrorist attacks on Russian territory, which killed a number of politicians and military leaders, are proof of this. It is well known how the US, Israel and other countries deal with terrorist leaders. There is no need to invent anything here. And don't pretend that you don't understand this.

[nik-mazur]

Quote from lako

What utility rooms?

The news mentions broken windows in the start-up and reserve boiler room and refrigeration station. The comrade above demanded an adequate answer, but did not explain what he meant by this - dropping a nuclear bomb on Kyiv or breaking the glass at the Rivne NPP.
What exactly you are proposing is also unclear. I can assume something very fierce and spectacular - so that the whole world would shudder and go cold with horror.

[Lako]

I like some of the people on this site. It feels like they've been trained by Mr. Peskov. Up there, your comrade is still "raging" When it comes to eliminating certain individuals behind the organization of terrorist attacks, they immediately go into nirvana and empty reasoning. Yesterday, a minibus stuffed with explosives was detained at the Georgian border, before that, another bus was detained in Belarus. Can you imagine how many lives these terrorist attacks could have taken?

[Paranoid62]

I like some of the contingent on this site

Me too.

It feels like they took a course from Mr. Peskov.

No, the training here is clearly from Nuland. And the cookies are from there too.

More on that below.

Quote from lako

Yesterday, a minibus stuffed with explosives was detained at the Georgian border, before that another bus was detained in Belarus

Oh, the theme. The buses were surely coming from Ukraine? No, Poland-Türkiye. This is a beacon, however.

What do you say, tribune?

[Lako]

Oh, I appeared. I was waiting. The buses were coming from Alpha Centauri and were driven by locals. We are waiting for confirmation from the Russian FSB. The farce on the website is worth nothing, the farce in the heads of those responsible for the fate of the country is worth human lives.

[Paranoid62]

Quote from lako

The buses were coming from Alpha Centauri and were driven by locals.

More details from this point, please. According to my information, they went from Poland to Belarus and from Turkey to Georgia, respectively. Am I wrong anywhere?

[Lako]

I wonder if the FSB and SVR in Russia are also so tight-lipped about their thoughts? I once thought that after the murder of Daria Dugina and the explosion on the Crimean Bridge, the epiphany should have already come

Perhaps this happened once. But today you are doing it extremely poorly. When you recover, come in and we will continue.

Quote from lako

- What exactly do you propose in connection with the Ukrainian UAV attack on the Smolensk nuclear power plant?
– A bus carrying explosives was detained at the Georgian border...
Well, it's logical. And you can't argue with such a contingent.

Quote from lako

Can you imagine how many lives these terrorist attacks could have taken?

And how many lives were not taken by terrorist attacks that did not happen?
You know the story about how a certain unmarried girl went to the basement for beer, saw an axe and started to mourn her unborn child? It's exactly about you and your brothers in mind, who constantly whine about any reason, and if there is no reason, they make one up.

Three smart heads

...So one day the daughter went down to the basement for beer for supper, started pouring beer into a jug, and then she took a look at the ceiling. And what did she see – an axe stuck in a beam. It had probably been there for a long time, but she hadn’t noticed it before. And so the daughter began to think: “It’s not a good sign that this axe is sticking out here! When we get married, we’ll have a son. He’ll grow up big, go down to the cellar for beer, like I’m doing now, and the axe will suddenly fall on his head and kill him. What grief that will be!”
The girl put the candle and the jug on the floor, sat down on the bench and began to sob.

By the way, this is a very real cognitive distortion, which psychologists call catastrophizing.

Well, okay, they can’t answer you, so you answer, what would you do?

[Paranoid62]

Quote: matwey

Answer me, what would you do?

Exactly what I do now: I would delegate the right to choose a reaction to people who are more informed than me and have the ability to respond. Unlike me. It's simple.

[matwey]

Got it, that is, like everyone else, we can't answer the question we asked ourselves. And excuses are all unnecessary.

[Paranoid62]

Quote: matwey

we can't answer the question we asked ourselves

I didn't ask you a question. And I asked a clarifying question to an entity that was dissatisfied with what was happening, trying to find out from it, the entity, what it, the entity, would like in essence. To not be dissatisfied. Nothing more.

And you shouldn't troll me, it can get pretty unpleasant

[matwey]

God forbid I troll you. I just wondered about this too. There was a case a long time ago (not related to the SVO), and you probably heard about it too. A Russian guy hit and killed an Uzbek in an elevator because he wanted to rape a minor. In the end, the man got a prison sentence. But just like that, because there was no fact of rape. You just had to stand there and watch when he used it and then hit him. The same thing about the nuclear power plant.

[Paranoid62]

Quote: matwey

The same thing applies to nuclear power plants.

Absolutely not. There are specially appointed people who are responsible for the country's reaction to external stimuli. They decide how, when and where to respond.

And there are entities that, in essence, are nothing. But at the same time, they joyfully shake the pipe and drive the wave, although in reality nothing changes from this. Well, for the better, for sure.

This is the model of what is happening. Is something wrong?

And what would you personally suggest, I wonder?

You know the rule yourself - "If you criticize, then suggest", but here it's all zero. After August 18, when the first strike on the NPP took place, the Russian Aerospace Forces showered Ukraine with hundreds of Geraniums, missiles and FABs, and the man keeps twiddling his thumbs - "we don't give in to provocations". So they asked him what effective method he could suggest.

Punish so that there is no desire to do such things again. Impunity breeds permissiveness. We tolerated the oil refineries for a long time, the president's words..., and what do we have in the end, a fuel crisis in some places, rising prices, and if we tolerate it, it may spread to the whole country, thank God there are no problems with fuel in the Kremlin garage.

[Paranoid62]

Quote from ARIONkrsk

Punish in such a way that there is no desire to do it again

The question, in fact, was - how exactly It is proposed to punish. Read the thread, everything is written there.

Why should we think about this? There are generals whose backs hurt from medals because of their achievements, and other officials who receive millions in salaries. Due to the nature of their positions, they should think about this, but they won’t read or take our comments into account.

[Boycott]

It has been suggested many times to reset at least one 750 kV substation. Then warn that the other 6 (if sclerosis does not change) are also in sight. But this proposal is constantly downvoted, without giving reasons. It is probably scary that it can be implemented.

There are many options, from cutting off from the outside world by disabling substations to using hazelnut directly on reactor installations. There are a couple dozen more between these two.

What is the provocation? Has following the party line already become a provocation? We are told not to give in to provocations. So I am asking whether to follow in the same spirit or not? Or will there be new inputs? And you accuse me of some kind of provocations.

[Piramidon]

What is the provocation?

A question with a hint of a catch. It can be understood in any way. You should have asked it in more detail, what exactly you meant.

[Vladislav_V]

What did Maxim want to raise his rating? But he got it in full It happens.

[Sky strike fighter]

I don't care about the rating. I ask questions that interest many, but for these questions I am somehow being made guilty. You see, I have to answer for someone the question, what do you suggest doing? Like, don't criticize, tell me what to do. Something like, don't tell me how to live, but help me financially.

[Vladislav_V]

Well, you are a military man, aren't you? And here the name of the site kind of hints at it. What do they do with alarmists and provocateurs?

[Sky strike fighter]

So asking relevant questions is the same as being an alarmist? And who aren't alarmists, those who don't give a damn about everything?

Is a refrigeration station a ventilation and air conditioning system? The VSU is in a really bad state.

If there was a need to specifically write about background radiation, then they came to the right place.

[tralflot1832]

I lived in Murmansk, and on bus route 19 we had a "celebrity" who always announced the background radiation level in the morning. Sometimes it was increased by 0,01 percent. Don't talk nonsense, even if a crow fell on a reactor, they always announce the background radiation level. Unless of course the reactor is military

[Aken]

It makes sense to report deviations, not norms. However, for an official, the norm is already an achievement.

This is a standard phrase in a nuclear power plant incident report.

[Piramidon]

Quote from Aken

Always, in any incidents at nuclear facilities, they write about the radiation background. Even if the roof fell on a warehouse with shovels.

Even if the roof of the warehouse with shovels fell in there.

It came to mind. I went to the toilet. And? The radiation background is normal. And this is the most important thing!

[Huarabey]

The cooling station at the nuclear power plant cools the water that cools the reactor. The temperature of this water must not exceed a certain value.

[tralflot1832]

The temperature of the water for cooling the reactors is provided by cooling towers that discharge water after cooling the reactors into a circulation pool. Refrigeration units do not participate in this process.

[Huarabey]

They seem to participate. Cooling towers can't always cope. The water temperature there shouldn't exceed 12 degrees.

[alexoff]

I can imagine the outcry in the West if our drone had flown to the Rivne NPP. And for us - well, there was no second Chernobyl, so everything is fine, we continue to negotiate with Trump

And I would launch a drone with a "wooden" warhead at the Rivne NPP in response. Maybe they'll get the hint?

[Volunteer Marek]

And, in a nightmare such a thing could not be seen three years ago. And, now - nothing, we got used to it. We endure further.

A typical fuel power plant.
The structure is very complex.
If he gets out of line, the enemy will have problems.

[taiga2018]

For how long, one wonders, and when will we finally strike the Ukrainian nuclear power plants? But we only need to wait for the wind to blow in the direction we need in order to kill two birds with one stone, and deprive Ukraine of electricity and cover Poland with radiation.

The ENEMY, with the hands of his useful fools, is ready to throw the world into a global catastrophe!!!
This is, as it were, an abnormality of a psychological nature, practically a diagnosis... THEY HAVE GONE COMPLETELY CRAZY!

[Wratch]

And where is the invitation for Grossi? Let him come, sigh, express concern. And the response... hmm, well, Kyiv is still intact, the railway bridges are also in order, take your pick! Of course, the nuclear power plant shouldn't be touched, but the energy structure in the surrounding area should be multiplied by zero.

[al3x]

The drone was neutralized in the area of ​​the POWER UNIT, having slightly damaged something not particularly important in the heart of the NPP?! Oh wow. I kind of understand, hhhhhhh, their fault, provocation, terrorist attack and all that 100%. But, in fact, this is the same vague "target hit", and the degree of damage is insignificant. I'm not trying to teach anyone to do their job, but damn, this is a NPP. There should be a "hedgehog" of various air defense systems there so that not a single crow could fly by unnoticed.

[alexoff]

But, in fact, this is the same vague “target hit”, and the degree of damage is insignificant.

Well, this is in our country, from the series - if they kill you, then come.

[PVV66]

The average person is perplexed... Are these "red lines" or another color? Do we really not have plans to respond to such terrorist attacks? Our representative to the UN would come forward and say that 404 struck an operating NPP, and in response Russia is destroying the entire infrastructure around Ukrainian NPPs. And let them run around, shutting down their units in an emergency. And the cherry on the cake, the "Oreshnik" strike on the SBU and GUR.

[K_4]

Well, if there were a government with steel balls, the entire government quarter in Kyiv would be ablaze, and right in the daytime. The infrastructure around their nuclear power plant would be multiplied by zero, and the drones would hum all day long. But we have Leopold and paws.

[Dutchman Michel]

And just recently it was said that an entire drone manufacturing plant was destroyed. And earlier, the operator training school was calibrated

[Poplar]

I would like to ask our foreign comrades (commentators on VO): what are they writing and saying about this incident in the West? Are they silent? Or is the West just happy about it? How are double standards doing there? If Russia had hit the Khokhlak NPP, there would probably have been an outcry to the skies.
