NEW🧵on the NOVA KAKHOVKA DAM:
(1/10)

In the last months there have been many complot theories, threats & mainly FALSE accusations (both sides 🇺🇦/🇷🇺) about the possible destructing of it.

Let's provide the basics & further elaborate different perspectives.⤵️

#NovaKakhovkaDam
(2/10)

WHAT IS IT?

➡️The total water volume is 18.2 km³.
➡️It is used for many different applications, such as: supplying hydroelectric stations, Irrigation Systems/farms, Industrial plants...
➡️Another important function is the provision of the North Crimean Canal with water. ImageImageImageImage
(3/10)

WHERE IS IT?

➡️Located in the #Kherson oblast.
➡️Situated on the #Dnipro river, as the biggest & last dam out of the 6 on the Dnipro reservoir system.
➡️Geolocation: 46°46′34.12″N 33°22′17.44″E ImageImageImage
(4/10)

THE NORTHERN CRIMEA CANAL:

➡️It was mainly built in the '60-'70s & has been providing 85% of Crimea's water.
➡️#Ukraine it shut down in 2014 after the Russian annexation of Crimea.
➡️However, the flow of water was restored in 2022 during the #Russian invasion. ImageImageImage

RUSSIAN DEPENDENCE ON WATER:

➡️As stated earlier in a study (2017), 85% water in #Crimea comes from this canal (~from the Nova Kakhovka dam)

"But the other 15%?"
➡️Brought in by trucks/trains from the KerchBridge & land connection, which are now unavailable (partial) ImageImage
(6/10)

BUT IT IS RUSSIA!

➡️Correct, they don't have the best reputation for making calculated decisions when it comes to #Ukraine, but this would mean the literal death of their "cherished" peninsula.

➡️But what about the Oskil river? This hadn't many drawbacks for #Russia... Image

WHAT IF?

➡️Aren't we all curious about possible scenario's & how things could have happened?
➡️The possible flood area of this destruction was mapped in this youtube video. I've added a reference photo above, for better comparison. 👌() Image
(8/10)

CURRENT SITUATION:

➡️After the recent #Russian withdrawal out of the #Kherson region, things have definitely shifted in favor of the #Ukranians.
➡️However there was some damage reported, probably as collateral damage when the bridges were blown up by 🇷🇺.

FUTURE PROSPECTS?

➡️Nothing is clear about the future, definitely not when #Putin is involved.
➡️The dam stays in artillery range for the #Russians, so they can always resort to it as a last, final option.
➡️However you see it, the sooner this war stops, the better. ✌️ Image

NEW 🧵on 🇷🇺 Missile attacks:

(1/6)

In the recent months we have seen the 🇷🇺 signature move: MISSILE ATTACKS on major cities & infrastructure.

Most of the missiles are launched from strategic bombers (& a smaller part from ships)
➡️An important military airbase is #Engels-2:
(2/6)
ENGELS-2, WHERE IS IT?

➡️Located deep into #Russia and unreachable for any counteroffensive actions.
➡️Distances to 🇺🇦 cities range from 750 km up to 1250 km.
➡️I've drawn some examples on the map below:

WHAT IS STATIONED THERE?

➡️It was historically home to the 22nd Guards Heavy Bomber Aviation Division, but in 2009 this was reformed.
➡️Now it is the operating airbase for the 184th & 121st Guards Heavy Bomber Aviation Regiment
