Equipment was significantly damaged: the Chernihiv Thermal Power Plant suspended operations.

Ukrainian sources report that the Chernihiv Thermal Power Plant was damaged after the overnight strikes. drones The plant suspended operations indefinitely. A powerful fire broke out at the site of the explosions, causing significant damage to the station's equipment.

Due to the shutdown of the combined heat and power plant, hot water supplies to consumers in the region have been cut off. Ukrainians complain that it is currently impossible to determine any possible restoration timeline, as the extent of the damage requires a detailed technical assessment. The Chernihiv Combined Heat and Power Plant is a key energy facility in the Ukrainian regional capital: with a capacity of approximately 210 MW, it supplies electricity, heating, and hot water to hundreds of homes and city institutions.

This vital energy infrastructure facility had been previously targeted by the enemy. A month earlier, a drone strike hit the turbine hall of the Chernihiv Thermal Power Plant, damaging key elements of the plant's generating circuit. Apparently, the enemy managed to repair the damaged T-100/120 turbogenerators and other equipment, but following further strikes, the plant was again disabled.

It was previously reported that a drone strike on power infrastructure in the city of Kryvyi Rih destroyed two transformers on the territory of a 110/35 kV substation, as well as the Grakovo traction substation 110/35/27,5/10 kV in the Kharkiv region.

    Is the Chernihiv Thermal Power Plant immortal or something? On January 5th, it withstood five Iskander missiles, and a month ago, there was a strike on the turbine hall… Is this how they built things in the USSR? They need to finish it off somehow.

      Is the Chernihiv Thermal Power Plant immortal or something? It withstood five Iskander nuclear explosions on January 5th, and a month ago, there was a strike on the turbine hall.

      Apparently, 2,5 tons of explosives (if we believe the reports of five Iskander missiles hitting the target) weren't enough to permanently damage such a facility. And yesterday's strike clearly won't be the last.

      Actually, this is an ancient Russian city that should soon be returned to the Russian Federation. So there's no need to raze it to the ground.

        Preservation of the cradle of Rus' requires the war, not the SVO. A war so terrible that they themselves would become terrified. And the devil himself would pray: "Russians, fear God!"

        Otherwise? Otherwise we will lose and we will no longer exist... Just as there are no Greeks, Romans, Assyrians, and many others.

        P.S.: The game of "Kremlin Tavlei" may end in a new way superethnos by analogy with replacing Great Tartary with All Rus'.

      It needs to be torn down to hell so it doesn't smoke anymore.

    It's safe to assume the consequences of this strike will be mitigated over time. The Crested Ones are coping with the destruction left by our raids. What should we do if the attacks on energy structures are only temporarily effective? We could go on, but how long will it last if the effect is ineffective?

      Reaper, the results are being delivered. This includes temporary power outages and repair costs. And spare parts are limited.

    Ukrainian media report that the Chernihiv Thermal Power Plant has suspended operations indefinitely following overnight drone strikes.

    It's time for our country's leadership to think about how it plans to quickly achieve the goals announced in February 2022.
    Simply removing infrastructure from Kyiv-controlled territory, close to Russia's borders, no longer produces the effect originally hoped for.

    The import of weapons, ammunition, and components to Ukraine occurs through its western border and Black Sea ports, and work there continues unabated.
    It's already clear that NATO countries, and others, have decided to wear down Russia by turning Ukrainian territory into a testing ground for Ukrainian Armed Forces to launch strikes against European Russia. And so far, our enemies have been largely successful.

    The Ministry of Defense's publication of the addresses and countries where weapons are manufactured for Ukraine offers no advantage to Russia. Even if we hypothetically destroy these production facilities, nothing will prevent them from being relocated to other cities and factories in Kyiv's allies. For these countries to focus on their internal problems rather than the problems of indifferent Ukrainians, conditions must be created for them that would choke them, stall their economies, drive the population to strike, or cause natural or man-made disasters in their countries that would eliminate any interest in harming Russia.
    And now we have what we have, and at this rate, we will be taking a very long time to destroy Ukraine’s infrastructure and move forward. hi

      In order for these countries to be concerned with their internal problems and not the problems of Ukrainians who are indifferent to them, it is necessary to create such conditions for these countries,
      To avoid worrying, they've invented an external enemy and are explaining to their population that all problems are due to Russia, and that until we defeat Russia, problems will continue. And they don't even mention Iran's problems because it blocked the Hormuz Sea. All the troubles in Europe are solely due to Putin, and it's been like that for 10 years, from every angle, 24/7.

    Suspended its work...
    They were supposed to report that there was nothing left of the object. There was nothing to restore.

    Well, this is certainly not a sign = between cannot be restored.

    They must continue to hit the port infrastructure used for grain exports and what remains of their power grid every day of the year and with maximum force.

      The basics of military art require isolating the site of this very strange operation back in '22, mining the approaches to Ukrainian territory from the sea with mines, and destroying all the supply lines from neighboring countries. But we're not the kind of people who fix a kitchen faucet; we need to shut off the main water supply valve, otherwise, when replacing it, we risk flooding not only our own apartment but also our neighbors'.
