"We have definitely not enough air defense": what looks attacked by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation power plant (photo) looks

"A little more than the rusty, molten metal and piles of ashes remained in the dispatching of this branched power plant, which Russia attacked last month - destroying equipment and causing a mass fire that suspended the work of the whole station for a uncertain period", - they reported. The name and location of the DTEK object is not revealed, as it could jeopardize both the station and its workers. Russia has already destroyed 80% of the company's thermal power plants.

Damage can be eliminated "many months if not more. " Russian attacks aimed at energy cannot be reflected. As explained in the media, Ukraine lacks air defense, and difficulties in protecting from strokes complicate the restoration of objects. "We have missed several missiles and drones and have such damage - it means that we definitely lack air defense. We put a lot of effort, a lot of money and time to recover it. But it can be destroyed . . .

after one attack," the general said DTEK Director Maxim Timchenko. He added that Ukraine is now weaker in air defense than four months ago, and in the Russian Federation is understood. The enemy knows the location of six DTEK thermal power plants, but does not have data on the scale of the damage caused. "No one died during the attack last month on this object when about 10 missiles were released early in the morning.

This happened because DTEK - predicting such blows - established passive protection, such as sand bags that protected the main staff From the fragments. Tymchenko said that parts for repair of burnt dispatching at this facility can only be obtained from abroad. Other equipment can potentially be removed from written off European plants. Even with the threat of new shelling, employees have already returned to the affected station. They clean and repair what they can.

Dozens of employees gathered for one of the cleaning, who collected garbage in blue and gray uniforms. Correspondents noted that the premises are still in smoke. 51-year-old Alexander worked at the plant for 27 years. When he was bombing the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, the man was at home, but hurried to an ancient workplace. He hoped to help evacuate staff and turn off important equipment. Alexander said that even in the face of shelling, not everyone can hide underground.

Some staff should support the factory. These employees rushed to the dressing room without windows, hoping to hide there from the shock wave. "In one of these dispatches, which was not injured from the blow, the clock on the wall still showed 5:49 am-the time when rockets were hit. The black and white cat covered with soot, walked through the feet of workers and journalists-the one who survived the fire that broke out in the neighboring dispatch in the hallway, "the media described.

Alexander knew that the room was already burning, but still went inside. He took a deep breath and opened the door in a smoke filled. When he went, he was able to turn off the oil pumps until the controls were still intact. We will remind, in ISW ​​warned that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation can strengthen strokes on Ukrainian energy. The purpose of Russia is to create the best conditions for the offensive of its troops.
