@@leoyoman The most dangerous part of a minefield is its concentration of mines, and the fact that the enemy knows where it is and you don't. Now, the concentration is no longer even because they've been disturbed and moved, and the Russians no longer know where they exactly are - meaning they don't know safe corridors to move and respond to attacks through. As well, some are buried, some are flipped, some have gone off when the flooding took place. Obviously we wouldn't know until an attack took place, but facing a disturbed minefield is better than a dense designed minefield. And yes, they might not be able to run heavy equipment and heavier vehicles across the river and muddy approaches right now, but with entrenchments and defenses damaged by the flood they might be able to push forward with attacks by infantry and lighter vehicles.

Why Russian blow up their own dam? Let me think. They Didn't Maybe after they also somehow blow up their own pipeline base from your so called media( until resently, because now they backtrack it)which more correctly it's called propaganda. They thought mmm. let's blow also our dam. If you are so delusional to not only believe that Russian did it but also pushing this narrative. Then just say that you want to believe that Russian did, so you can feel good about yourself because of your brainwashing and lack of thinking. Let me help you think. Let's see who gains from this. First the dam was in control of Russian which means no reason for destroying it. Second, which is funny! Ukrainians themselves say in a article Washington post ( also in different channels)about how happy they were that they managed to HIT! this same dam with Himars missile some months ago because this will put in dangers the Russians troops in Kerson region which until then was under Russian control. And which they choose to leave for this exact reason. Third. Crimea was supply water from this dam and always has been a subject of concern for the Russian of how valnerable It is if something happened. As it did. Fourth, before the destruction of this dam Ukraine had close the flood gates of dams higher up few days ago. Then as the dam was destroyed these close higher up dams open fully the flood gates to do, as much damage as possible. There are videos of these by Ukrainians civilians. Fifth. The side which has the lower elevation and which most of the damage will have happened( as it did) is the Russian control one. ( how strange) Sixth. Many of the defense positions of Russian in kerson were flooded which mean less pressure on Ukrainian in the other side of the river making the "ground" more easily for future offense actions in the Russian direction. Seventh. Also in the Zaphorizia region now that the water level ( region before the dam) is lower or has dry up Russian hadn't build many fortifications there because of the river that existed and which now opens the door for offense in the Russian region or in the best case putting pressure and changing the available troops for the Russians. (even though motorized vehicle can't cross for some time Ukraine already started probing with troops). Eighth. As the Ukrainians offensive didn't and doesn't have accomplished anything it was and is very beneficial and that's why they destroyed it. From putting more pressure on Russia to more funding and weapons and no bearing the responsibility of blowing it up. Everything is in favor of Ukraine and disadvantage of Russia but somehow you want me to believe that the Russian did. It? If you still can't see the truth, you need to see a doctor. And be prepared for many more provocations and" accidents "as the Ukraine will continue to be unhindered because of the west double standards.

Also the area flooded was south of the river(Ukraine had the higher ground) which is Russian controlled and mostly Russian nationals. Or finally that the destruction hurts Russia more and that Russian soldiers were washed away meaning they weren't prepared for the explosion. Non of these things were mentioned in this projected theory.

The dam's collapse was a result of mismanagement and neglect, not an act of war. The dam's failure was likely due to overtopping and hydrodynamic scour, a phenomenon where fast-flowing water digs out a hole in front of an obstruction. This could have been caused by the constant use of the southernmost sluice gate and spillway, leading to the formation of a scour hole that eventually undermined the dam. The dam was also overtopping, meaning water was flowing over its top, a situation that should never occur and could have contributed to the dam's collapse. It's suggested that Russian forces may have been using the southernmost spillway to avoid getting close to Ukrainian territory and risk getting shot. However, the dam's collapse did not provide any strategic military advantage to Russia. In fact, it led to the destruction of Russian trenches along the Dnieper River and affected the water supply for Crimea, as the North Crimea Canal, which provides drinking water and irrigation to a province roughly the size of Massachusetts, is above the dam. With the water levels in the reservoir lower once the flood subsides, it's going to be harder to move water. The collapse was likely due to negligence and incompetence, possibly because competent Ukrainian operators were fired, killed, or fled, and replacements appointed by Russia didn't know how to operate the dam properly. Regardless of the cause, it's argued that Russia is responsible for the dam's collapse because it was in control of the territory at the time. I do not say I am pro Russian, nor that I agree with the things that are happening in Ukraine. But an explosion big enough to blow up a dam would have been measurable on seismic measuring stations across Europe, but only the Norwegians say that one of their stations picked up "something", but even they did not come out with this information as they had nothing to base this of. PLEASE RealLifeLore, I love your channel, but read more into it before you make claims. You have no proof of the Russian army actually using explosions to blow up the dam. They might have deliberately mismanaged the dam, but honestly, it looks more like this is further proof of the complete mismanagement of the Russian army.

Although it’s tempting to blame Russia for blowing the dam, there is no evidence of directed explosion causing the destruction. The explosions that heard people were detonated Russian mines that were washed away by water current from the already destroyed dam. There are satellite pictures from Maxar showing continuous destruction of the dam parts over the course of several days. Russians are still responsible for its destruction due to negligence and lack of monitoring and repairs, but they likely didn’t directly blow it up.

7:43. Note, the railway bridge is what ran on top of the dam. The road bridge ran alongside the dam. 8:56. You left out that HIMARS strikes were used to severely damage the road and rail link across the dam. There was a choke point where both ran close together over the locks in the dam. That was the point targeted as it wouldn't damage the dam itself. It took several attacks to achieve their goal, but it worked. Also, the main Ukrainian attack came from the north of the pocket, not the west.

Certainly not as an excuse for the inexcusable blowing up the dam, but there may have been at least one other motive for letting the water levels rise. Supplying Crimea with as much water as possible befor it would be cut off once again.

Hello I have been watching your channel for a long time now (about a year) and I'd first like to thank you, through KZfaq alone you have given me a history class that I desperately need, I don't want this to be about the school system but I would like to mention this injustice. I graduated highschool in 2022 with 33 college credits and in my entire education we never learned about the events past WW2, This has led me to not understand a lot of political issues contextually until I started watching you. So thank you for all you do and I will be getting nebula shortly soley because of you. However I was wondering if on your nebula you make analysis videos of modern issues in Real time, ie since yt is more restrictive this wasn't able to come out till 3 weeks after the event. Now I don't mean to say make content quicker I was just wondering if it's part of your service?

At the start of the video he says that it was for sure Russia that destroyed the dam and that he will give the reasons soon. He did explain all of the consequences for both sides but he let people to make up their own mind on whether this was Russia, Ukraine or an accident. The bias here is not really strong, it's rather minimal and kept to a minimum.

Yes, snorkles are an option. And though Idk how common this is, there's technically no reason a tank cannot bring enough O2 tanks inside it to make the distance accross a river. They aren't going to cross oceans but a river should be possible.

​@@alexanderx33 Tank snorkeling is indeed somewhat common, and contrary to popular belief, it is not only used in Russia, but also in some NATO countries such as Germany. As long as the water isn't too deep and the bottom has enough traction, it does work out, but I bet the crew would be shitting their pants if they had to go across a wide piece of flooded land, far wider than what they have ever seen in training, especially as their may be obstacles at the bottom which could stop or even damage the tank as I wouldn't expect the driver to have enough visibility to avoid anything before it's too late.

One of the worst parts of this crime is that the Russians purposefully obstructed the evacuation of people affected by the dam explosion. Boats on which rescuers were evacuating people were shelled with artillery. International volunteers were prohibited from entering the affected territory. When they themselves began to evacuate people, they sent them thousands of kilometers to the territory of Russia to filtration camps, and those who refused to go to these camps were literally left on the roofs of their houses in the middle of the flood.

I don't know if it would be considered ecocide since the dam was a man made structure. Blowing it returned the river to its natural state. You could argue that the building of dams destroys a lot of the natural environment.

@@jv-man3698 I Totally agree that damns in all cases when the environment is not considered when they are built (which is bascially all of them) are harmful and do destroy nature. However, you cannot say that the burst of so many tonnes of water canned up behind they dam was natural for the flora and fauna engulfed in it afterwards. Both due to it being too much water flowing in the same time, damaging the wildlife and habitats it engulfed, but also acclimated and adapted new ecosystems (and man-made agriculture and forestry forests) was no ready to all of a sudden have this level of water cramed into it. So yes, the damage of nature CAUSED by the dams eruption is definetly ecocide, however, building damns without considering how to avoid negative effects on ecoystems surronding it, is also ecocide.
