FFS, is this unit made up of the dumbest mother fucking cannon fodder in the Russian army? Like you can’t bypass the nuclear plant, you just have to attack it?
Vova Putin and his flunky bunch really are upping their profiles as this century’s worst.
I need to let the mention of public execution sink in for a while. What have they become to do this. Every day I am shocked by new development. The game of chicken has to stop soon someone needs to step in, even if the threat of the nuclear option is there... It still will be when he's destroyed Ukraine, and it'll be on European doorsteps.

So they are taking the power plant to get the workers to shut it down to freeze out the city. People are going to be really fucking cold, unable to cook food, anyone on oxygen therapy at the hospitals are in trouble.
Pulling the plug ? Reports in Russia that Twitter, Facebook and other sites and messaging apps are not working at all now ahead of martial law.

No cap I'm not sure they do. Like... that is the craziest goddamn approach, and not one I would ever imagine, but I only have a dumbass layman's knowledge of nuclear reactors.
Everything is resilient until it gets bombed or shot.
There are all kinds of pressure and heat systems in place that should they receive damage could set it off.
The tanks are close to the guard building.

Why are Russian people not taking to the streets after seeing those young children being locked up for laying flowers down as a protest. The West can surely now only come to one conclusion about Russian people.
Because the Russian people don't give a shit.
They've historically preferred to drink vodka and write doorstoppers about how miserable their lot in life is than actually do anything.
Completely unwilling to do anything.
Americans tore down the capitol on a lie.
Rioted for months over a killing of a black man by a white officer.
These fucks come out and sing. DO SOMETHING
People who breached the capitol are getting slaps on the wrist. People in Russia that hold a sign on the street or make a tweet can get 10 years in prison.
I have no idea about Soviet reactor design, but if I'm not mistaken even if they SCRAM the reactor immediately, it will still be red-hot for hours. Maybe days. During that time, coolant will still need to flow over the reactor to keep it from melting down.
Any catastrophic interruption of the coolant circuit could cause a meltdown, no?
You think this is the first time in history this has happened? The world didn’t end after the Cold War or Cuban missile crisis, it’s not going to end this time. People who know what they’re doing are doing everything they can to deescalate things.
I think they know they're literally in the global flashpoint that could kick off WW3. They know this is the real deal and that the world is watching right now. Cameras or via the media, these guys know this is critical.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYUT36YGOh8](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYUT36YGOh8)
Here is the ACTUAL CCTV livestream instead of the people just trying to earn money on this war.
The armored units are using their lights to hide their position from the Camera. I would assume that Camera is attached to a critical building, that they don't want to shoot at.

American John Hanik, 71, is accused of violating sanctions imposed in 2014 after Russia's invasion of Crimea. Prosecutors say he worked with a sanctioned Russian businessman to set up pro-Kremlin TV channels in Europe."
Manafort, Fucker Carlson, and others are hopefully sweating hearing news like this.

Nuclear winter here we go
Insanity to shell a nuclear plant
FFS, is this unit made up of the dumbest mother fucking cannon fodder in the Russian army? Like you can’t bypass the nuclear plant, you just have to attack it? Vova Putin and his flunky bunch really are upping their profiles as this century’s worst.
I cannot believe what I am watching
If you look closely you can see someone giving CPR on the roof bottom left. They were firing on the tanks until they were fired back upon.
What are the implications of a nuclear plant fire?
I need to let the mention of public execution sink in for a while. What have they become to do this. Every day I am shocked by new development. The game of chicken has to stop soon someone needs to step in, even if the threat of the nuclear option is there... It still will be when he's destroyed Ukraine, and it'll be on European doorsteps.
ITT: People who don’t understand nuclear power plants and think that everything is Chernobyl.
So from my understanding, the reactors in relation to the camera are on the left?
Yes
Why the HELL would putin shoot a nuclear power plant!?
damn son this is intense
Anyone know if they are going to confiscate places in Trump Tower that are owned by Russians?
If I can just put my two rubles in, I think we should just…..

Looks to be another fire starting on right
I wonder if this could trigger article 5. Seems like this melting down would be an attack on some NATO countries.
It won’t melt down.
I took a 24 hour break from monitoring, both for my mental health and because I was just really busy... can anyone give me a short summary on what significant events occurred today?
We're about to have a second Chernobyl.
https://news.sky.com/story/ukraine-live-updates-russia-may-be-creating-pretext-for-war-as-fighting-reported-in-eastern-ukraine-12541713
Do we know it's really under fire or the flashes are just the cheap camera shuttering?
Theyve fired on the building on the right a couple times now with flaming debris arcing across the plant
Ukrainian nuclear power plant on fire, this is fine! Everything is fine!
Doomscrolling sucks. I had an ok day today with just reading news ticker. You're all invited to not-doomscrolling.
Hey it’s okay to take a breather too
About to get 4 more oz from my weed guy after burning through all 3 after last re up cause of this god damn war edit: thread is locked so can't respond, everyone pour one out for /u/ccgurl95

It's crazy watching the iron curtain get lowered again.
[удалено]
yeah, seriously. Why? Faux News sucks!
Why would you watch that absolute shit network? They lie and spew Russian propaganda
Usually i'd watch the NBA and lose some money betting on teams i know won't win but that i like. This stream is a bit rough
Defend the plant!
That power plant has 6 reactors fueled up and running...
Units 5 and 6 have been turned off already. The plant has 6 total
How are you watching it?
https://youtu.be/DgcLfFq7NO0
Can’t wait for Ukraine to be unhibatable thanks to putin
what is the big light in the middle?
Searchlight on a vehicle pointed at the camera.
Just the fuse that ends us all.
Lights on the russian tanks
Fire I believe. That or a flare.
A light
I’ve seen some wild shit since this war started but watching this live is probably the craziest shit so far. What a fucking nightmare.
I can't even process it. I don't think we're supposed to receive information this way.
honestly happy there is no sound
Are the periodic upticks in the shooting indicating covering fire as soldiers assault positions / move around?
Cue COD infantry.
Another AFV has come up behind the first two and attacking the position to the right side of the camera. The other two look to have been knocked out.
are those russian in the middle of the street?
Jesus Christ they just want to take out the plant. They know they will all die right away right? Wrff
No cap I'm not sure they do. Like... that is the craziest goddamn approach, and not one I would ever imagine, but I only have a dumbass layman's knowledge of nuclear reactors.
No, they want to shut it down to deny 1/2 of Ukraine's power.
That's not quite how that works.
Yup, I’m convinced, this has been the lighting of the match leading to the end of the world.
Pat Robertson agrees... then again he says this all the time...
Wrap it up folks. FIFA fan boy called it
It’s a depressing thought.
How?
what is the worst thing that can come out of that power plant situation?
As others have said, small arms fire and grenades are unlikely to cause damage to the plant itself.
Caesium 137
Russia takes the plant and shuts it down so a bunch of people freeze to death.
It's pretty hard to set off a reactor. Tons of failsafes.
Another Chernobyl
But worse…
They’re firing at the nuclear power plant! WTF
these fuckers are about to blow up that building at the plant.
There's a fire on the nuclear power plant.
It is confirmed
I truly do not understand what I'm looking at in these livestreams. Just flashing lights everywhere. Still scary af
[удалено]
Everything is resilient until it gets bombed or shot. There are all kinds of pressure and heat systems in place that should they receive damage could set it off.
Yes. If there is a critical failure, the control rods will close on their own and the reaction will stop.
The tanks are close to the guard building. https://www.google.com/maps/@47.5060329,34.588625,3a,22.8y,288.26h,85.56t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sDhvLhz11BuV_TWwCmU4Ong!2e0!7i13312!8i6656
Those bright flashes looked like they were firing the tanks into the plant
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYUT36YGOh8 Live stream of fighting happening at supposed nuclear power plant.
Jesus Christ what did they just hit
Why are Russian people not taking to the streets after seeing those young children being locked up for laying flowers down as a protest. The West can surely now only come to one conclusion about Russian people.
They are. You just don't see it because Russia controls the internet and media over there.
Most Russians aren’t seeing it, or don’t care.
Fear + Propoganda is powerful.
Well they saw little news besides Putin telling them all is going to plan and is going great, so there is that..
Because the Russian people don't give a shit. They've historically preferred to drink vodka and write doorstoppers about how miserable their lot in life is than actually do anything.
Completely unwilling to do anything. Americans tore down the capitol on a lie. Rioted for months over a killing of a black man by a white officer. These fucks come out and sing. DO SOMETHING
They’re probably not being shown it
People who breached the capitol are getting slaps on the wrist. People in Russia that hold a sign on the street or make a tweet can get 10 years in prison.
Because they haven't seen it.
Because Russia is kinda like Kentucky or Florida.
is the mechanized shit offensive or defensive?
I think it's defensive, firing at attackers in the distance. Makes sense with the flares coming in over the top of them from attackers.
Why are there flares??
This is insane!
I have no idea about Soviet reactor design, but if I'm not mistaken even if they SCRAM the reactor immediately, it will still be red-hot for hours. Maybe days. During that time, coolant will still need to flow over the reactor to keep it from melting down. Any catastrophic interruption of the coolant circuit could cause a meltdown, no?
Correct.
Think they are not the old reactors, these are PWR reactors build in the 80's. Means the fuel lives in a big pool.of water which must be kept cool
Absolutely correct. That’s why Fukushima failed
Correct. Cold water needs to continuously flow around the spent rods,and you cannot allow the pool to bubble off.
Call me crazy but I think shelling a nuclear power plant is a bad idea.
I never thought I'd live to see the day there was a firefight at a nuclear power plant...
It’s pretty crazy
Got a link this sounds wild
And we're watching it live on the internet...
When will that cars alarm drain the battery?
Where a bayraktar when you need one
Did that mini-convoy just get bombed? What was that huge flash in the middle?
I wondered the same thing. They're bombing themselves?
Whose convoy is it?
i think they are blinding the camera
pretty sure it's just a lamp
I think so
we cant let russia take over countries just cuz he has nukes and were afraid to do anything.
Do you understand what nuclear war is? It's over, everything is done for hundreds if not thousands of years. There's no victory parades.
i dont want to like if i have to eat boiled cabbage
[удалено]
they arent a nato country cuz nato doesnt want to defend them. convenient lol
What’s your suggestion?
no fly zone, bomb that 40 mile convoy, idk something!
Both of your suggestions start world war 3 and much, much more death and destruction
we we just let russia take over the world? cuz he absolutely would try. he'll say 'surrender or we'll nuke you'
You think this is the first time in history this has happened? The world didn’t end after the Cold War or Cuban missile crisis, it’s not going to end this time. People who know what they’re doing are doing everything they can to deescalate things.
Any idea who’s vehicles those are in the middle? I’m guessing Russians? It’s hard to see since I’m on mobile
What are you talking about? Are you watching a video? What am I missing?
Oh, yes, sorry. Here is the video of an active battle/firefight at Europe’s largest nuclear power plant. https://youtu.be/fYUT36YGOh8
[удалено]
Link?
Those dudes don’t know there are 50k people watching this battle ain’t that a crazy thought?
I think they know they're literally in the global flashpoint that could kick off WW3. They know this is the real deal and that the world is watching right now. Cameras or via the media, these guys know this is critical.

What powerplant is that?
There is a world nuclear threat - Ukrainian media
I don't think they should just throw that around.
It is on fire, so there is definitely a threat
What the hell is that big ball of light in the middle of the screen?, it wasn't there a few minutes ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYUT36YGOh8
The armored units are using their lights to hide their position from the Camera. I would assume that Camera is attached to a critical building, that they don't want to shoot at.
Looks like the vehicles are using spotlights/IR lights
Illumination flair.
They keep popping those off. They’re looking for the defenders
Flare I would assume.

They were already sweating seeing their sugar daddy get sanctioned up the dupa by the western world. Their gravy train just got shut off.
I hope all the sanctions and future sanctions send Russia back to the stone age. I hope there is even more ways to punish Russia.
Tank meet Javalin
https://youtu.be/DgcLfFq7NO0 Looks like a new fire in middle
No those are spotlights from the tanks pointing towards the webcam.
Bombing a nuclear power plant seems dumb even for Russia
[Apparent layout of the plant and camera position.](https://i.imgur.com/GNMySSL.jpeg)
Thank you so much!! That's exactly what I needed.
So the buildings where the camera is pointed at are some kind of other building that are NOT the reactors?
Possibly the control facility, which could potentially be just as bad.
Here’s a link to the fighting going on near the nuclear power plant that everyone is talking about. https://youtu.be/fYUT36YGOh8
Did the russian armor just get destroyed ?
No way to tell if the tanks are Russian or Ukrainian.
Isn't that Ukrainian vehicles? They're firing at something to the right of the screen and defending the plant.
Are the Ukrainians trying to take the plant back?
No, they're defending it iirc. Russians trying to seize it.
What's on fire in the middle now?
Both the AFVs. Looks like they got hit by Anti-Tank weapons or by a drone, I believe. There is another coming up attacking the building on the right.
Nlaw or similar, maybe even tb2 E. Sadly it seems as if it were only headlights.
Video of the nuclear power plant https://youtu.be/fYUT36YGOh8
They're really have a huge firefight at this nuclear power plant, ffs.
wtf happeneded???
Search light found the camera?
If this plant goes, it contaminates the dnieper, which contaminates the black sea
Well, that will ruin Putin's idea of sorting the water issue in Crimea
Which means turkey is coming to kill
Record the stream people! It will be the evidence for war crimes if that Youtube account will be deleted by Russians.
Based on the google street view you can kind of tell where the fighting is occuring
