no I don't want to attacks the Power planet , my target will be distribution nodes which are separate from Power planetsLet alone there are 3 Nuclear Power Plant you can't use missile to bring down, it was hardened for missile strike, and the only way you can bring it down is by airstrike, and if you DO bring it down, the Kharkiv Nuclear Power Plant would most certainly bring nuclear fallout to Moscow. It's merely 400 miles away.
Following the reactor explosion, which killed two engineers and severely burned two more, a massive emergency operation to put out the fire, stabilize the reactor, and clean up the ejected radioactive material began. During the immediate emergency response, 237 workers were hospitalized, of which 134 exhibited symptoms of acute radiation syndrome. Among those hospitalized, 28 died within the following three months, all of whom were hospitalized for ARS. In the following 10 years, 14 more workers (9 who had been hospitalized with ARS) died of various causes mostly unrelated to radiation exposure.
Chernobyl's health effects to the general population are uncertain. An excess of 15 childhood thyroid cancer deaths were documented as of 2011.[9][10] A United Nations committee found that to date fewer than 100 deaths have resulted from the fallout.[11] Determining the total eventual number of exposure related deaths is uncertain based on the linear no-threshold model, a contested statistical model.[12][13] Model predictions of the eventual total death toll in the coming decades vary. The most widely cited studies by the World Health Organization predict an eventual 4,000 fatalities in Ukraine, Belarus and Russia.
Although it is difficult to compare releases between the Chernobyl accident and a deliberate air burst nuclear detonation, it has still been estimated that about four hundred times more radioactive material was released from Chernobyl than by the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki together. However, the Chernobyl accident only released about one hundredth to one thousandth of the total amount of radioactivity released during nuclear weapons testing at the height of the Cold War; the wide estimate being due to the different abundances of isotopes released.
no one talking about Powe planet , each power grid have nodes that distribute power , regulate the flow of electricity and voltage and balance it , if you take several out all the power grid go offline . they are not as big as a powerplanet , they wont look much at first glance but they are essential to a power grid and without them you can't have a functioning grid. from outside they may look like it
but in each of them there is a control room like this
bock that room out and i like to see how that grid can continue working
you say russia don't have 415 missile to keep all that grid offline for a month ?
Again, you are not just talking about 1 part of the battlefield, you are talking the entire battlefield, in this case, your target will multiply, you no longer just need 400 some missile to take it down for month, you will need multiple thousand of missile to take down the redundant system, they are using those missiles to attack targets that must be attacked with drones more than that now they can use their Gran-2 to do the attack 6-7 for each node is more than enough
the infrastructure we are talking about is very sensitive in nature , you disable part of it then all of it is useless till you fix that part
the question id for how longThen what? Again, do you think Ukraine cannot fight off grid?
Most combat equipment Ukraine use are can either run on Dry Battery, Car Battery and Generator, and most form did not use battery at all.
the number of targets are limited in all ukraine something between 10-15 of them . and russia even don't need attack those in area under its controlAgain, you are not just talking about 1 part of the battlefield, you are talking the entire battlefield, in this case, your target will multiply, you no longer just need 400 some missile to take it down for month, you will need multiple thousand of missile to take down the redundant system
there we many sane solution that Russia did not do and it bite them latter . just think the cost of the armor and other equipment Russia lost due to prolongation of war ,As I said, if Russia really think this is a cost effective solution, they would have done so already, military don't fight with grid power, yes, it means no hot water in the field when you shower, but that does not negate your combat power a bit.
the factory and industry that maintain those devices don't work on battery , you think how long Ukrainian tolerate living without electricity and water for areas that their previous president said if Ukraine want to become a modern country must like cancer cut away from it's body ?Seeing the Ukrainian war are almost entirely ground war, tell me which component of ground war have to rely on the grid to fight? Even when we fight in Iraq, we fought off grid. From the comm hub in the commander tank to the communication device and my targeting computer, they don't run on grids. Do you think somehow Russia taken Ukraine Military Off grid (If they had not done so already) would change anything? I mean would High Command TOC not function? Would the communication device like ICOM not function? Or the night vision goggle Ukrainian soldier using is not going to function??

Again, what factory are in Ukraine right now? Most, if not all weapon Ukrainian use are Western Weapon, there are few tanks and artillery guns that are still soviet stock but even those ammo come from the west. You are not talking about economy, here, where you need power to make stuff to earn money.the factory and industry that maintain those devices don't work on battery , you think how long Ukrainian tolerate living without electricity and water for areas that their previous president said if Ukraine want to become a modern country must like cancer cut away from it's body ?
How long? How long does the supplies of dry battery, car battery and gas for generator last?
Again, do you think Russian Missile stock last longer? Or Ukrainian battery stock??
The 17 node I quote already excluded Russian occupied area.
Again, it won't shorten the war, I mean, it's not like Ukrainian General in the Headquarter of their field camp holding a cable and wonder where are the socket he is going to plug that in. ALL WAR ARE FOUGHT OFF GRID now. It makes absolutely no different if you attack the civilian power grid.

You are talking about how supply work in a battlefield. Everything from uniform to Bullet to artillery shell can be come from EU, as long as you have trucks and railway that bring stuff across the border from Poland and Romania, the war effort continues. And railway runs on diesel and truck runs on petrol or diesel. Taking power grid out does not mean Ukraine will stop receiving munition from the West. As long as the factory in EU keep turning out weaponry to replenish the stock, what ever happened in Ukraine does not really matter. Or you still think Ukrainian Factory still making tanks and artillery or even shell right now??
Well, most Ukrainian vehicle repair are done on the field, when I was in Ukraine, I saw how their recovery works.btw It's still very surprising how much industry Ukraine still have working. Of course not talking names of the plants.
I didn't expect it to be real to setup a war economy in this day, but they did.
Their armour recovery is very remarkable, and they are puting back into action vehicles which would've been a write off because they have huge pool of industrial workers.
They had an Australian MRAP which had its wheel blown off twice, and both times repaired.
Russian armour recovery, on the other hand, is limited to moving damaged vehicles to a giant scrapyard near the border with Ukraine.
Ukraine has a lot of industry.
