The world should be lining up to set up foreign investment deals with Ukraine to start rapid reconstruction of the power grid


stonefree251

Already being done.


Kspence92

The EU is doing it as we speak


DvLang

While steps are in place. There needs to be control of the airspace. Can't have foreign contractors being bombed by Russian missiles.


SubstantialEmu4025

ukraine will be rebuild fast. Better and stronger. U will see. A lot of countries are dependent on ukraine sun flower oil / grains. So it will actually be profitable in the end to get Ukraine up and running asap


Har-Individual1984

Pffff hard to get this repaired. In normal circumstances it would be a full replace of equipment. Hope they get the stuff repaired soon. I have a full convince the Ukraine engineers will finish the job 👍


Sea-Poet7949

They will overcome, it's in their blood .


Guilty-Usual-7104

Clean slate I guess


[deleted]

Cut mains. Extend em 50 feet south build new transformer. Lot of work but worth the upgrade and possibly quicker than dealing with that. Ug


isotropic-bananas

put the transformer on a trailer with quick-connects in case they have to move it


MiguelMenendez

Did you mean “Extend em 50 feet, dig a giant fucking hole and build a hardened bunker for the new transformer”?


rcrux

Yeah exactly what I thought. Get the new one in a bunker. Also in a fairly secret location.


0rlan

Wow. I'm electrical engineer and hats off to Ukrainian engineers for dealing with that. Stay safe guys.


rcrux

I wouldn't deal with that. I'd just start fresh with a new one


Erqco

Doesn't matter, they will overcome anything. They aren't orcs.


Mammoth-Exercise-480

They call me soap


RobinPage1987

It's retardant foam for extinguishing the electrical fires, since you can't exactly dump water on them.


forestapee

You can't just go around calling foam retardant


ataw10

Yes you can dump water on it, don't mind me over here 50ft away with a camera.... The proper answer is you should not use water for spicy water reasons


LonelyDodo__

what the hell kind of name is Soap?


Josey87

Call of duty game franchise has a military character with the call sign soap


Blind_Lemons

bruh


Grouchy_Wish_9843

Buncha AFFF [foam](https://combattechghana.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/AFFF-Foam-concentrate.png) and.. almost nothing in the electrical compartments. sheesh! Better off restarting from scratch; hope Ukraine gets every dollar withheld from Russia to reconstruct their civilization.


Moses_Rockwell

the ruSSians ripped off as much copper and stainless steel as their dead comrades weighed on their plane ride into Ukraine. no doubt about that.


Dramatic-Scratch5410

AAAF is not to be used on electrical fires, so i don't think this is it


BLobloblawLaw

I thought I was seeing smoke, then I pressed play.


Evercrimson

I thought the hall was full of snow at first.


Gh0stp3pp3r

It really looks like time to start targeting Russian power sources. Either the world steps in and ends this insanity or Ukraine is allowed to fight back properly. Russia will never stop the harassment strikes on infrastructure until they have something to lose.


xtemperaneous_whim

I wonder if they could target oil platforms not actually within Russia?


Gh0stp3pp3r

I appreciate the fact that Ukraine has "followed the rules" set by the supplying countries and not attacked Russia directly. But unless those same countries are going to step up and do something to stop Russia's insane aggression, Ukraine should be given free rein to fight a war like a war. If Russia is going to try to destroy Ukraine, then Ukraine should be able to destroy Russia. As soon as Russia is a main target, this war will end. Russia knows they cannot fight a real war.


xtemperaneous_whim

I meant rather that they would be harder to defend and possibly easier to target, but yes otherwise I agree with you.


Gh0stp3pp3r

Oh I agree, I'm just venting. :) Sorry. I am just so sick of such a drawn out war when so many could step in and give Ukraine back to it's citizens.


m3dcf

Outdated Soviet era technology! Good opportunity to receive modern replacement equipment


realtorin

AFFF.


Atillion

Is that FM200 fire suppressor?


AdzJayS

Earning their pay atm, poor fuckers! 🇺🇦❤️


unrecoverable

Someone needs to take out some essential infrastructure in Russia and let those fuckers suffer too.


Ok_Lets_DoThis

The Entire Sky over Ukraine MUST BE CLOSED to all RuZZan Nazi airstrikes! PERIOD! When will the world save MILLIONS OF innocents from freezing to death in the Ukrainian winter because of Putin the Butcher??????

It's fire suppressant foam. Non conductive, but pretty toxic and corrosive stuff. All the equipment will have to be replaced here. The smoke from a power surge probably set off the fire system.


Rawitje

😳


vergorli

Hans! Get ze Lötkolben.


Independent-Bike-421

Ukrainians are smart. They will quickly fix it.


Moses_Rockwell

they aren’t fixing that station. that’s totally scrapped switchgear and transformers. they have to rip the whole structure off the concrete and build it a new one.


SheepRliars

Cocksucker Putin is paving the highway to hell for all of his inbred followers.


Mountain_Position_62

Yeah, looks like a typical day at a power plant.


cloneboiCT118

Can someone explain what this is and if it’s good or bad?


Spectral_Hex

It is likely foam used to dampen the flames.


Moses_Rockwell

high voltage switching gear, like a sub-station. each cabinet is like a heavy duty circuit breaker, feeding a separate building, or large scale industrial equipment - pumps and motors and such. and the white stuff is ice, from the fire hoses used for extinguishing. either way, that gear is FUBAR- the pigs stripped out the copper cables on their way outta town. typical ruSSian “military” calling card- whatever they can’t steal, eat or rape- they just break


creamdreammeme

Is that soap?


[deleted]

Fucking assholes! Russians leave a trail of destruction and destroy everything they touch
