The most humbling direct conversation I have had since Feb 24 was with @AKamyshin this summer trying to deliver assistance to Ukraine with @UkrainesGrains project.
I failed 🇺🇦spearheading a project larger than one person can do.
When will Ukrainian & American influencers listen?
When @officejjsmart, @GregoryOnRoad & myself tried to provide an alternative @Twitter Space to the #WalterReport, Alexander Kamyshin was first on my list for guests… to highlight the challenges & successes @Ukrzaliznytsia was having this summer.

Time constraints didn’t allow😕 ImageImage
Who’s no longer at the #WalterReport?

The same person that blocked me from talking and amplifying Ukrainian energy sector and their needs since April - Walter Lehk!

Who’s still advocating and amplifying Ukraine’s energy sector, their challenges and needs?

Me
When I was deciding whether to hop on a plane to go to Europe and Ukraine (to help best I could), I was being gaslight & doxxed for not amplifying ‘Ukrainian Voices’ to the satisfaction of supposed ‘Voices of Ukraine’.

Guess who’s no longer around?

Alona

And who is?

Me
Why operate behind anonymous handle?

Who I am & how good/crappy my personal life is, matters not.

It won’t move the needle in 🇺🇦’s favor.

It won’t restore the power grid in 🇺🇦

It won’t change the fact I’m just an average 🇺🇸helping 🇺🇦with knowledge/intel others don’t supply.

Good example of why generators are not a sustainable option…

4x the energy content needs to be sent to Ukraine, then 75% is wasted as heat that can’t even be used producing 25% as electricity.

Need to restore/protect grid and import electricity directly from PL.
Excluding the Hungarian 750kV connection as #Orban is a dick, there is the PL 750kV.

This should be 2,000 MW import capacity.

Repair & protect with everything available.

Replaces need for 400,000 five (5) kW generators like in the photo.
This should help explain how valuable & critical the large substation transformers are Russia is destroying.

If transformers were a navy asset, they are like a battleship. Protect at all costs even though they only do 1 one thing, but are irreplaceable in that role.

What French Nuclear Power Plants doing?
😂
An entire year offline on a 40-year plant, that's 2.5% lost in lifetime capacity factor. French NPPs are no American NPPs on CF, but gonna hurt those ivory tower gen tech stats.

If you're in the industry, you'd know French NPPs were used against EU wind & solar deployments.
So, while 🇺🇦 NPPs were being occupied; cut off from the grid; heroically trying to produce energy for a country at war; & sell electricity into the EU electric market in crisis, most nuclear advocates were screaming over a few NPPs slated to be closed in 🇩🇪&🦗🦗on🇫🇷 NPPs offline.

In the event I was unclear about my #NAFOfellas digital resource request, here is a good example of something that works.🙏

🇷🇺⚡️substations are not going to🔥themselves and Ukraine needs our help.

Belgorad⚡️Substation🔥are cool to watch, but they have no impact on 🇷🇺logistics of death upon Ukrainians.

🇺🇦needs more help on this front & Russian Bridges knows where.

Maybe a #NAFOfellas with digital skills could help with a snazzy media resource highlighting⚡️HVTs in 🇷🇺?

🙏
This is not a media resource, and it sucks. It is just data and intel that makes it into the right hands in 🇺🇦, but not in 🇷🇺or🇧🇾.

But don't think it doesn't make it into unfriendly hands from 🇷🇺, hence why it doesn't include intel inside UA.

But it needs to reach friends in🇷🇺
This @SkyNews report comes 7mo after I came to Twitter to highlight🇷🇺attacks on🇺🇦energy infrastructure & grid.

🇺🇦⚡️Sparkies have been heroic since FEB24, but there has been no movement in🇷🇺to counteract & disable their ⚡️grid & by extension 🇷🇺🛤️logistics

Yet, the EU & @ENTSO_E is still artificially limiting the amount of electricity Ukraine could export (to make needed revenues) because why?

Apparently, ~60% of French NPPs offline is more "secure" than the 🇺🇦 grid🤦

There's more than 3,000 MW capacity from UA or $1.5million/hr!
I shit you not, over the past decade French Nuclear was professed to be the answer to Europe & the world’s energy challenges.

Over 35,000 MW is offline & this is the highest CO2/MWH I’ve even seen the French grid (normally it is bright Green like Nordic countries).
Imports are flooding into France currently.

NG prices are one thing, even though EU does not generate a lot of electricity with NG, but >35 GW offline in 🇫🇷 is huge.

FYI that is 10x 🇩🇪NPP closures that everyone blames for high prices. 🤦🏼‍♂️

What have we here?

🧵HIMARS firing solutions on the behemoth, brick sh!thouse "pontoon" bridge the Russians are building at the Antonovsky bridge in Kherson.

Why do they matter?

Because the Orcs are "tucking it" under the bridge upstream & UA🚀trajectory will mean everything.
Let's close in (noting range for all is around 70km except 5 is slightly over this).

Note the strike angles 85 to 60 to 40 to 10 to -25 degrees (as we go counterclockwise).

Adding a representative "pontoon" in red that is a barge 15 meters wide (~1/2 bridge deck)

/2
Here's a view looking along the Antonovsky to see the firing angles & the behemoth "pontoon" bridge.

Note only the line from the right has an unobstructed trajectory on the "Russian Beast", all others do not.

There is no ballistic (high arcing trajectory) factored in.
