It's obviously fake: the house is intact!

Before blowing the dam, the Russians kept the gates closed to raise the water level as high as possible
Where there is smoke there is fire
What 2 metres? No difference...Dip is interesting as well
I mean if you wanted to plant some explosives, having a lower water level would be handy!
I have been keeping an open mind on who did it. I want to avoid assuming it was Russia just because Ukraine said it was. But that looks like fairly compelling evidence. Lower the level to plant explosives. Then fill it to the top and let rip.Before blowing the dam, the Russians kept the gates closed to raise the water level as high as possible

And should people then have a say in it?
I've seen nothing but pure propaganda in the press to date. Are people being given the chance of an informed choice in their support of escalation?

I’ve no idea of it was coincidence or not but you’re going to need a lot more explosives to blow a dam than a pipe. A huge amount more. Good luck carrying that.Interesting, when I was reading it this morning it was Wall to wall coverage of the dastardly Russians having blown it up......in the absolute lack of information whatsoever.
Now BBC is finally adding that the Russians are accusing Ukraine of doing it. The propaganda is insane.
It wouldn't surprise me that the Russians did it, the Ukrainians did it, a third party did it or that there was accumulated damage. But hearing everyone bleat like sheep within 10 seconds of it happening is just depressing.
Also wasn't Russia meant to have destroyed oil pipes under a dangerous sea with divers. Why would they need to lower water by a couple of metres?

Not to mention the amplifying effect of water to any explosive. That the whole reason why Upkeep(bouncing bomb) worked. It slid down the dam wall and exploded against it. Instead of needing a 10,000Kg bomb upkeep was just over 4200Kg and had greater effect. Drop the water level 2m to make it easier to fit the explosives. Fill it up again to maximises the effects.. simples.2 metres drop is a ridiculously huge volume of water in a dam that size.
If someone knows the surface area, you can calculate that easily.
For reference, one cubic metre of water is 1 metric tonne. The dnieper has a flow rate of about 1500 cubic m per second. That is a LOT of water- the Taff (my local river) is about 4 cu m per second.
Water supply in Crimea is already fooked
The taps are either mud or nothing, in town of Kerch they complain the taps are completely dry
Better get used to no water, or you, go back to Russia
Perhaps they're "shaping the"... internal political landscape to justify any eventual retreat from Crimea. Ie "those naughty Ukrainians stopped the water supply so we left on humanitarian grounds."I must confess that I don't really see the point in destroying the dam. It may well stop the Ukrainian advance, but unless it destroyed a lot of vehicles and people, then all it does is delay the inevitable. This is a card the Russians can only play once. It's not like they can blow it up for a second time.
