Basically it says ...
1) There's proof (satellite images) that the outflow of the dam was
not regulated by the Russians since mid-Nov 2022 (when they damaged the dam by a huge explosion)
2) The dam started to disintegrate on June 2 (probably as a result of record high water levels combined with criminal negligence by the Russians), with damage increasing on June 5
In addidtion, it's
3) showing night-time IR footage (night june 5/6, 02:46 AM) which indicates a large failure of the dam, but turbine building still intact (see 13:10 in the video linked before)
4) and the hypothesis that detonations heard actually were mines laid previously and detonating now as a result of being swept away and colliding with the collapsing dam
Hopefully everyone here now is aware that the
nighttime explosion videos linked everywhere are not from June 5/6 2023, but from Nov 2022 (when Russian retreated from the right bank and blew up the road above the dam).
S
It is apparent that the original explosion was in November, which was done by the Russians, and the destruction of the dam has occurred due to the consequential damage and negligence of the occupiers, Russia is still the owner of the disaster, the act was the deliberate blasts. The progressive failure of the dam over the preceding week went unnoticed by the occupiers.
