?????????? Russian Armed Forces strikes on Ukraine's energy system - Rybar's analysis

On the morning of October 10, Russian Armed Forces began massive missile strikes throughout Ukraine. In addition to the headquarters and control points of the AFU, SBU and National Guard being hit, Ukrainian energy infrastructure facilities were subjected to systemic strikes.

Neither nuclear power plants nor hydroelectric power plants were struck - and there is no need for that in the current case. Our map shows all significant substations and TPPs with thermal power plants, as well as 330kV high-voltage lines on the territory of Ukraine.

Some of the objects (as well as lines with 750kV substations) were intentionally omitted - otherwise the map would be extremely overcrowded. We focused on the 330kV lines - they were the first to be hit during the strikes.

?? The Rybar team has now been able to confirm the following strikes:

?? Kyiv: Massive hits on TPP-3, TPP-5, substation 110 Vokzalna, Darnytska TPP.

But no strikes confirmed on the Brovary and Sivirna substations, or Kyiv TPP-6. Either they were not included in the list of objects to be hit, or the Ukrainian air defense systems partially worked.

?? Rivne: Rivne 330 kV substation - hitting the facility caused overloading of 110 kV substations and loss of electricity in the city.

?? Khmelnytsky: Khmelnytsky 330/110 kV substation - since there is no power in the whole city, only the 330 kV substation could have been hit, which provoked disconnection of the Rakove, Stara, Termoplast, Ozirna, Dubove substations and the Grechany traction substation.

?? Ternopil: Ternopil 330/110/35 kV substation - no power in the whole city. It feeds: 110 kV Zahreblya, Ternopil support station, Halyts'ka, Promyslova, Plotycha, ZBV.

?? Sumy: 330kV Konotop substation - the hit caused power outages in the entire region.

?? Kharkiv: in the entire city there is no light, water, communications, and the subway stopped.

This could mean a simultaneous shutdown of substations Zalyutino, Kharkiv, Loseve, as well as Kharkiv TPP-5, Zmiiv TPP, Chuhuiv TPP-2. But due to the lack of communication in the region, it is not yet possible to confirm that all facilities were disabled.

?? Kryvyi Rih: Kryvyi Rih TPP, one of the largest in Ukraine.

?? Zhytomyr: Zhytomyr 330/110 kV substation

?? Lviv: Lviv TPP-1

?? Ivano-Frankivsk: Burshtyn TPP

?? Vinnytsia: delayed trains reported, which may be an indication of the failure of individual traction substations. But there is no data about this in open sources.

?? The strikes caused shock among the Ukrainian population. The outage of certain key structures of the Ukrainian power grid caused an overload of the entire power system: the nuclear power plants could not cope with the load.

Those who gave the order for a massive fire attack should consider that all of this damage can still be repaired. If the purpose of the strike was to cause a short-term shock - well, it worked.

But if the goal is to overload the power system of Ukraine for a prolonged panic among the population, to lower the AFU's morale and psychological state and win on the battlefield, then such actions would need to be repeated.

?? It is necessary to break the 750kV switchgear at nuclear power plants, responding with symmetrically to what was done against Zaporizhia NPP. Particular attention should be paid to Khmelnytsky NPP - it has a direct power line to Poland.

?? Putin: At the suggestion of the RF Ministry of Defense, and according to the plan of the General Staff, a massive strike was conducted with high-precision long-range weapons on Ukrainian energy, military administration and communications facilities.

??Putin: In case of continued attempts to carry out terrorist attacks on Russian territory, the response will be harsh and correspond to the level of threat.

So are you going to ignore the celebration of civilians getting bombed? Oh, and Putin is a murderous thug who orders people killed all the time for simply opposing him. Zelensky is defending his country against a foreign invader. You can't see the difference?

so did you not understand my whole post was about not censoring the poli board, they dont need moderation, just like this board doesnt.

i agree with eveyrthing you stated above...how the frick did you garner that i didnt because i said dont bring your liberal censorship bullshite over here?

to be clear we agree 100% about putin and russia being a failed terrorist state. Pretty agee with everything about putin and 99.99% of the shite about this war period.

my point was just because we agree about the war, dont feel emboldened that you bring bullshite like censorship over here. most of the poli board is full of low iq tards who work construction and think they are the smart ones. I can agree on the america first principles or anti-war principles but a couple post above your original post i stated why that isnt possible, mainly because europe and the rest of nato is full of pussies and its better to spend the money now and not lose americans and defeat russia rather than try and deal with them when they are invading poland.

Sounds reasonable. Is there any reason why this is not reasonable?

The reasons it is unreasonable are the same reasons why there is a war in the first place.

Russia wants the Ukraine government removed and the territory to be under Russian control.

I agree. Let people show themselves. Don’t protect them from their own words, thoughts, ideas.

Russian news media sure as heck is celebrating.

It should be moderated because it is an embarrassment to the LSU brand that is tightly connected to this website. One of these days there will be a news article done on this site that will feature the Poli Board. Think of how close that was before Chicken nuked the Elections 2020 board.

And my comment really touches upon the hypocrisy of how some posters can go over there, post an opposing point of view, and find themselves banned while the low iq idiots scream profanities and death wishes.

Actually, only the Nuke threat

According to my understanding of the Budapest Memorandum the only firm thing that has to happen by the US UK and Russia is in the event of nuclear threat to Ukraine. Those nations are supposed to raise it up at the UN security council. So I think that is why Russia hasn't been direct in its threats is because it would have to bring itself up to the council

You are so dishonest. I never once said a word about the civilian deaths. Again, please post a link to where I did, or frick straight off.

I hope they wait for Russia to repair the bridge then hit it again and again. I hope no civilians die in the process.
