Attempts are being made - what will happen if Russia destroys the Kyiv HPP?

This was stated on the air of Ukrainian Radio by hydrologist, Doctor of Geographical Sciences Viktor Vishnevsky. According to him, the length of the pressure front is 42 km, the height of the dam is 30 m, and at the base, it is 100 m, meaning this is a colossal structure that is "unreal to destroy even with ten missiles." "The Kyiv HPP is a 42 km earthen dam and a 300 m concrete spillway – the most vulnerable part of the dam. This is the power plant itself. All hydraulic structures were built during the Soviet era according to the construction standards of that time. The enemy knows the technical features of the dam and has long been trying to strike it. The enemy knows the weak points. And it is not the earthen dam, but the electrical equipment. The Russians have struck DniproHPP-1, DniproHPP-2, and the Kremenchuk HPP. So they have considerable experience in causing damage. However, they will not attempt to destroy the Kyiv HPP because it is unrealistic," the hydrologist explained. To support his words, the expert cited the example that during World War II, the Soviet army, while retreating, blew up the DniproHPP dam and used 20 tons of explosives planted from the inside. Even as a result of such an explosion, the hydraulic structure was not completely destroyed, the expert noted.
