⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦💡 @Rybar's Analysis: The State of #Ukraine's Energy System after 2 Months of Systematic Strikes⚡️

On 10 Oct, the RF Forces launched the first massive strike on #Ukraine's energy infrastructure. The state after two months of strikes.

♦️Where was the Hit?

At the end of Nov, a cumulative effect worked. Limited strikes in certain regions began to lead to nationwide blackouts.

The main target was the distribution grid rather than generation facilities. Three-phase 330/110 kV autotransformers and single-phase 750/330 kV autotransformers were knocked out in substations.

High-voltage circuit breakers, line disconnectors, current and voltage transformers were incidentally affected.

In some rare cases, general control stations (GCPs) and TPPs were hit.

♦️Was the Fire Attack really systemic?

Despite the seeming strangeness, the strikes can be roughly divided into five logically interrelated stages:

▪️ Stage 1: strikes on nodal high-voltage substations.
Ability to analyse the consequences for the entire system and the time taken to recover.

▪️ Stage 2: strikes on substations in major cities and the Ukrenergo building to limit dispatch control.
Temporary difficulties and introduction of rolling blackout schedules.

▪️ Stage 3: isolation of the three remaining NPPs from the country's power system.
The Khmelnitsky NPP and one unit of the Rivne NPP have been shut down in an emergency. The centre and west were left without power supply. Shutdown schedules have been tightened.

▪️ Stage 4: strikes on switchgear of large power plants and power plants themselves, repeated strikes on node substations.
Temporary collapse of the power system, acute shortage of electricity generation. Import of electricity from #Poland and #Romania. Constant unscheduled emergency outages.

▪️ Stage 5: methodical knocking out of the remaining substations and PPs that are pulling the power supply to consumers across the country.
It is continuing now. The results can be seen in the strikes on #Odessa, #Kiev and #Sumy. Similar things are happening in #Lvov and #Dnipropetrovsk regions.

♦️Okay, but everything can be restored, right?

Ukraine has run out of reserves, its own production in #Zaporozhye stopped long ago.

Despite the PR actions with the transfer of secondary equipment, no one can actually supply high-voltage autotransformers now (except for a few from #Lithuania and possibly #Bulgaria and #Romania).

Even if the European industry refocuses on #Ukraine's needs, the first unit deliveries will have to wait at least six months.

♦️So there is a complete collapse in #Ukraine right now?

Not exactly.

Measures are being taken now to protect the most important points. Barriers are being built at the surviving sites. Air defence is being built up.

♦️So the Power Grid is partially intact?

Alas, yes.

The restoration work is being carried out because of incomprehensible humanism on the part of the RF Forces. If the strikes were not on the power equipment, but on the control posts, there would be nothing to restore.

A strike on the control room with the destruction of the building would render the substation inoperable. In addition, #Ukraine needs to be deprived of the ability to generate electricity.

♦️What is the practical effect now?

The idea of moving the country to separate "islands" fed by the nearest power station is being discussed. The damage has reduced the manageability of the power system and is causing numerous accidents.

#Moldova has been affected, as the main PPs are in #Transnistria.

The option of importing electricity from #Europe and bringing in floating Turkish PPs is being considered.

🩸But the point of no return has already been passed?

Yes, the energy system is still capable of supplying critical industries and rail transport. But the further it goes, the more things go wrong.

That is why the strikes have to continue!

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ War Map and the Situation on the Fronts on the Evening of 14 Dec 2022; pub. 0:05⚡️

💥 Are the "Gerani" back? It's been a long time since the last kamikaze drone strikes, but today the pause was broken. It's been a hot morning in #Kiev, especially in the Shevchenkivsky district - "heroic" air defence shot down one of the drones, with debris damaging "two administrative buildings". Mopeds also visited #Zhytomyr, #Zaporozhye, #Dnipropetrovsk, #KrivoyRog and #Kharkov. Not as widespread as before, but there may be an explanation...

⚔️ Situation on the Fronts in the outgoing 24 Hours

♦️
#Svatovo - #Kremennaya Direction:

Militants in three assault groups attacked in the direction of #Ploshchanka and #Kremennaya #LPR, but were met by Russian army fire, also a column of AFU reserves was hit near #Stelmakhovka. In addition, our forces destroyed five Ukrainian SRGs in the areas of Chervonaya Dibrova #LPR and #Torskoye #DPR.

♦️#Donetsk Direction:

Our units have taken control of the main part of #Vodyanoye #DPR, the Ministry of Defence said. The main part of the settlement was captured during the Russian army's offensive. Up to 50 Ukrainian servicemen, one tank, three armoured fighting vehicles and four pickup trucks were destroyed.

♦️#Ugledar Direction:

The AFU launched several attacks near #Pavlovka, #Novomayorskoye and #Neskuchnoye, but all enemy counterattacks were repulsed and the enemy was pushed back to its initial positions. Also in the area of #Novosyolka and #Prechistovk, a column with Nazi reserves was destroyed.

💡 Soviet and Russian air defences have proved that even forty-year-old SAMs such as the Buk-M1 can stand up to modern air forces. But there are more modern complexes, which can hardly even be called modernization, because it is a machine of another generation. And fortunately for us, we have such a system in our arsenal - Buk-M3, which showed itself perfectly in special operations. How? And what does "Bayraktars" have to do with it? Explains Readovka.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦💡 Massive Strike on #Ukraine's Infrastructure on 16 Dec 2022 - what is known by 12:00⚡️

The RF Armed Forces have launched another massive missile strike on targets across #Ukraine.

▪️ In Kiev, CHPP-5, CHPP-6 and Darnitskaya CHPP were hit again. The underground was stopped, electricity was partially lost and water supply stopped.

▪️ #Zaporozhye region was hit by at least 12 strikes, local authorities said. In occupied #Zaporozhye, electricity and water were partially lost.

The engine room of the #Dnipro HPP was hit.

▪️ In #Kharkov, ground transport and the metro have come to a complete halt. There are disruptions in mobile communications. Partially there is no light and water. 7 strikes have hit the regional centre and 3 in the region.

#Zalyutino 330kV substation and #Kharkov 330kV PS were most likely hit. The previous day, the RF struck at CHPP-5. However, CHPP-3, which supplies power to all industrial facilities, remained unharmed.

Judging by the reports of the strike in the #Chuguev district, the fire attack might have been on CHPP-2 Eskhar.

▪️ Light went out in #Poltava and the Poltava region. The #Kremenchuk 330kV PS is likely been hit again. The #Mirgorod 330kV PS is also suspected of being hit.

▪️ In #Dnipropetrovsk region, there were explosions in #Kamenskoye and the regional centre. #Prydniprovska TPP is likely been hit again - traffic on Yuzhny Bridge opposite the TPP is blocked. The Prometey 330kV PS in #Kamenskoye is suspected been hit.

Explosions also occurred in #Pavlograd (likely the 330kV Pavlograd PS). Boiler houses and water supply are suspended in the city.

In #KrivoyRog, locals reported an explosion. Water and light were lost in the city. We already wrote that the Krivoy Rog TPP was shut down 1 1/2 month ago. Therefore, it is likely that either the Kirovskaya 330kV or Yuzhnaya 330kV PS was hit. In terms of logic, the Kirovskaya 330kV PS is most likely been hit - it supplies the water supply system.

▪️ There was a blackout in the #Cherkasy region. This could have been caused by both, the Polanyi 330kV PS being hit and the entire 330kV line along the Dnipro River being de-energised.

▪️ In #Kirovograd region, the Ukrainka 330kV PS was most likely hit. Pumping stations are shut down and power is lost. Several railroad sections are de-energized.

But the fact that the entire oblast is switched off could indicate that the 330kV switchgear of the Southern Ukraine NPP is down.

▪️ There are strikes in #Nikolaev and the region. Locals report power outages.

▪️ There are explosions in the #Ternopil region. There is only one 330kV Ternopil PS in the entire region.

▪️ In #Vinnitsa, shocks were also recorded. The Vinnitsa 330kV PS may have been hit.

▪️ An infrastructure facility in the #Odessa region has been hit. Power is partially lost in the regional centre.

▪️ In #Zhytomyr region, the Lesnaya 330kV PS in Korosten is affected. The PS bypassed the #Chernobyl NPP switchyard and supplied power to #Kiev from the #Rivne and Khmelnytskyi NPPs.

▪️ In the #Volyn, #Lvov, #Rivne, #Sumy and #Kherson regions, emergency blackouts occurred.

This is a direct consequence of the strikes in other regions. The same #Sumy is dependent on #Kremenchuk and #Kiev. And due to strikes on the Lesnaya 330kV PS, the Rivne NPP reactors could have shut down.

🩸Although the missile strike cannot be called the most massive in recent months, the number of missiles fired and the geography of targets is still impressive.

This confirms the systematic nature of the firing.

A new story has emerged in the Ukrainian infofield. People in chat rooms convince each other that the power was cut off before the strikes in order to mislead the enemy. Some even write that PPs are stopped on purpose for the duration of the raid.

There is no practical sense to be gained from such measures. But the Ukrainians believe such fables and convinces one another that the strikes by the RF are ineffective.

And this is not the case!
