@IMSiegfried Maybe have a memory longer than your average fish, eh Glowie? : The Washington Post reported in December 2022, (Ukrainian Commander) "Kovalchuk considered flooding the river. The Ukrainians, he said, even conducted a test strike with a HIMARS launcher on one of the floodgates at the Nova Kakhovka dam, making three holes in the metal to see if the Dnieper’s water could be raised enough to stymie Russian crossings but not flood nearby villages. The test was a success, Kovalchuk said, but the step remained a last resort."

@AlexSwanson-rw7cv Having a good memory can help the thinking process too, Al: The Washington Post reported in December 2022, (Ukrainian Commander) "Kovalchuk considered flooding the river.

Bullshit. The Smoking Gun has previously fired three of its chambers. (Ukrainian Commander) Kovalchuk considered flooding the river," the Washington Post reported. "The Ukrainians, he said, even conducted a test strike with a HIMARS launcher on one of the floodgates at the Nova Kakhovka dam, making three holes in the metal to see if the Dnieper’s water could be raised enough to stymie Russian crossings but not flood nearby villages. The test was a success, Kovalchuk said, but the step remained a last resort."

More likely: "(Ukrainian Commander) Kovalchuk considered flooding the river," the Washington Post reported. "The Ukrainians, he said, even conducted a test strike with a HIMARS launcher on one of the floodgates at the Nova Kakhovka dam, making three holes in the metal to see if the Dnieper’s water could be raised enough to stymie Russian crossings but not flood nearby villages.

@pascal9055 Pay attention now, Pascal: "(Ukrainian Commander) Kovalchuk considered flooding the river," the Washington Post reported.

@mycatspethooman5590 It sure seems to have been planned...by Ukraine: "(Ukrainian Commander) Kovalchuk considered flooding the river," the Washington Post reported. "The Ukrainians, he said, even conducted a test strike with a HIMARS launcher on one of the floodgates at the Nova Kakhovka dam, making three holes in the metal to see if the Dnieper’s water could be raised enough to stymie Russian crossings but not flood nearby villages.

🤔Cela semble bien avoir été planifié... par l'Ukraine: « (Le commandant ukrainien) Kovalchuk a envisagé d'inonder la rivière », a rapporté le Washington Post. Les Ukrainiens, a-t-il dit, ont même mené une frappe d'essai avec un lanceur HIMARS sur l'une des vannes du barrage de Nova Kakhovka, faisant trois trous dans le métal pour voir si l'eau du Dniepr pouvait être suffisamment élevée pour bloquer les passages russes mais pas inonder les villages voisins. Le test a été un succès, a déclaré Kovalchuk, mais l'étape est restée un dernier recours.🙄😬 L'Ukraine va avoir du mal à se venger d'elle-même

@Vuosta "When they are hopefully gonna kick the Russians out of Ukraine." I don't think the Ukraine commanders rely on "hope" for their tactical decisions. Ask Ukrainian Major-General Andriy Trokhymovych Kovalchuk why the Ukrainians decided destroyed the dam.

@sylviahutchison5203 Then why was Ukrainian Major-General Andriy Trokhymovych Kovalchuk planning and testing destroying the dam? Why did he say the test was successful?
