After a slow but continuous advance, the Russian army attacked Voltsk, Kupyansk, Bonliman, Seversk, Konstantinovka, Dimitrov, Rodinsik, Red Army City, Huli "cities of ten thousand people" such as Aible and Kuban all pose threats to varying degrees.

The above-mentioned portion of the "city of thousands" has been occupied mostly, and there are already soldiers under the city, while the other part is under intense siege, the lightest of which is gradually approaching.

The existing strength of the Ukrainian army can only ensure the defense of key areas, and it is unable to deploy heavy troops in the above-mentioned "cities of ten thousand people" at the same time to compete with the Russian army.

In this context, the Ukrainian army will have to find other methods to solve the problem, such as "replacing soldiers with water."

Recently, the Ukrainian army bombed the Belgorod Reservoir Dam in Russia, hoping to "release water" to stop the Russian army's offensive in Voltsk and other directions.

There is no controversy about this situation, as the actions of attacking the dam were acknowledged by the Ukrainian army itself.

Robert Brovdi, commander of the Ukrainian army's unmanned system unit (the founder of the famous "Hungarian Bird" drone unit), said in a sarcastic tone:

The Belgorod Reservoir cracked today (referring to the 26th). Since that "magic kick", the water level has dropped by 100cm.

The governor of Belgorod was chirping again-the dam, the dam, was hit by the Ukraine armed forces.

It is said that in the shelter near the village of Graffica (Note: Russian village on the bottom left of the dam), the "worms" (Note: Brovdi's contempt for the Russian army, etc.) were not very comfortable; and the locals, on the other hand, were happy to blossom: "We are now not a warhouse, it is a canal!

This strike was completed by pilots from the 1st Independent Center of the Unmanned Systems Force (adapted from the original 14th UAV Regiment); The code name of the operation is "Hold on the dam; Judging from the reconnaissance results of the" worms ", the dam still suffers a little.

It can be seen from Robert Brofdi's sarcastic and playful remarks that he enjoyed the act of hitting the dam very much and seemed to let out a sigh of anger.

Let us talk about the circumstances of this attack.

The Belgorod Reservoir Dam that was hit is located on the North Donets River southeast of the capital of the other state. The main part of the reservoir is about 10 kilometers long and about 1.5 kilometers to 3 kilometers wide.

The reservoir is about 12 kilometers south, on the border of Bergorod state of Russia and Harkov state of Ukraine.

The Ukrainian army bombed it on the 25th with the Hymas rocket cannon, which was subsequently subsidized by the drone forces, causing damage to it.

After the North Donetsk river enters Ukraine, it first flows southward, turns westward in the town of Pecenich (about 6,000 people before the war), then flows southwestward through Chuhuif (about 31,000 people before the war);

After flowing for some distance, the North Donets River generally flows southeast. After flowing through Balakleya (pre-war population of 26000) and Igium (pre-war population of about 45000), the Oskill River flows into it.

Since then, the North Donetsk river continues to flow between the well-known Redlemans (about 20,000 people before the war), Slavyansk (about 105,000 people before the war), and turns eastward to the equally well-known Seversky, as well as the township of Norton.

Netizens who have a basic understanding of the process of the Russia-Ukraine war should be familiar with the above-mentioned place names.

In the early days of the Russia-Ukraine War, the Russian army had advanced into the above-mentioned areas on a large scale, but after the Ukrainian army's counterattack in the autumn of 2022, the above-mentioned areas were all defeated by the Ukrainian army.

In May 2024, the newly formed northern cluster of the Russian army launched an attack on northern Kharkiv, controlling areas in both directions of Lipci and Vortask (but these two towns were not occupied by the Russian army).

The Ukrainian army had assembled heavy troops to launch a counterattack in this direction, but failed to push the Russian army back, and then turned to attack Kursk and succeeded.

After the outbreak of the Kuzhou battle, although the focus of the two armies of OU shifted to the past, the two armies of OU left their troops here to fight.

In recent times, the Russian army has accelerated its offensive in the direction of Volchsk, and crossed the Volchsk in the southern part of the city to occupy large areas (note: the Volchsk river here is the same name as the Volchsk river in Donetsk, and long before, the Russian and Ukrainian armies in Volchsk were in isolation control), the local Ukrainian forces gradually showed upward.

Volchsk was a pre-war "city of people" of more than 17,000 people, and although the city has been bombed into the ruins of the Marinka style, such a size of the city is not beneficial to the current public opinion of the Ukrainian army.

Therefore, the Ukrainian bombing of the Belgorod dam has influenced the existence of factors affecting and interfering with Russian operations in this war zone.

The 16th Army of the Ukrainian Army, which is in charge of operations in this direction, said that the attack made logistical difficulties for the Russian army, especially after crossing the North Don River (actually referring to the city of Voltsk crossing the Vovcha River, a tributary of the North Don River). River) troops have been isolated from the main force.

However, the operation of this "flooded seventh army" is actually very abstract. The main reasons are as follows:

First: The Voltask Urban area is not on the main stream of the North Donets River, but on both sides of its tributary Wofcha River. Its Urban area and river section are significantly higher than the main stream of the North Donets River in the west;

So the Ukrainian bombardment of the upper-water reservoir of the North River did not have a much greater impact on the battle in the Volchask district, and its impact was largely on the reservoir down to both sides of the riverway of the Russian-controlled areas.

In Russia, it is about 12 kilometers long; After leaving the border, the affected Russian occupied area is about 7 kilometers long. Of course, the straight-line distance meter is used here, and the actual river channel is longer.

Therefore, the settlements on both sides of the 20-kilometre riverway, such as the village of Grafiffka, called by the Ukrainian unmanned system forces commander, are the most directly affected, just a few hundred meters from the reservoir dam.

However, there is actually no need for the Russian army to station troops at this location. After all, it is already the rear area. If the water situation is large, it will actually have a greater impact on local civilians, especially the settlement directly below the reservoir.

Therefore, there is no possibility that the local people would still be called good, in fact, the areas near the border of other states were frequently shot by Ukrainians and had long been hated by the Ukrainians.

If we want to talk about the impact of the Ukrainian army's attack on military operations, it is nothing more than causing certain obstacles to Russian troops' exchanges across the North Don River, as well as affecting Russian troops' positions adjacent to the war zone and rivers. The water level impact of the River may be limited.

Second: Another reason why the Ukrainian army's operations are abstract is that the North Don River not only flows through Russian territory and Russian-occupied areas, but all 20 kilometers away from the reservoir are controlled by the Ukrainian army.

If the flow caused by the destruction of the reservoir is not large enough, it will not seriously affect the purpose of the Russian army; if the flow caused is too large, the influence on the downstream Ukrainian army is actually greater than the Russian army.

Of course, Robert Brovdi, commander of the Ukrainian unmanned systems force, may be thinking that when the upstream water has not yet ravaged the Ukrainian military-controlled area, it will flow into a larger reservoir.

The dam of this reservoir is located in the town of Pechenich. Its main part is more than 30 kilometers long, and its widest point is five or six kilometers.

The reservoir is very likely to be able to withstand the flow of the Bergorod reservoir, and it is not likely to have a greater impact on the downstream Ukrainian army.

But if the Ukrainian army bombed the Belgorod dam, would it not be affected if the Russian army also bombed the dam in the town of Pecenich, downstream of so many Ukrainian-controlled core towns?

So this is also the abstraction of this attack.

Of course, for most netizens, it is not going to study how the Norton River is exactly flowing, as long as you follow the public opinion's command stick; but after we have made these things clear, we will know what this action is exactly.
