MOSCOW, April 7 (Reuters) - Ukraine attacked the Russian-held Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant on Sunday, including a strike on the dome of the plant's sixth power unit that caused no damage, the plant's Russian-installed administration said in a statement. Earlier, the administration reported a drone attack that damaged a truck parked near the station's canteen, Russian state news agency TASS reported, citing the plant authorities.

It’s obvious what Z and the maniacs in DC want to do. The plan is to damage the facility and to irradiate the Russian horde gathered in the area, ready to start the offensive. The U S and NATO will contaminate half of Europe if necessary to keep this going.

Pure fantasy. Ukraine has far better targets for their drones.

No one is surprised to see the Neocons giving Ukraine the GREEN LIGHT to attack nuclear targets, considering how badly Ukraine is doing on the battlefield.

No damage?

You cannot see internal cracks that weaken that containment vessel. It is designed to handle high pressure in the event of a reactor malfunction.

In other news, Gen. Syrski is sending troops from Zaporozhia to reinforce the line at Chasiv Yar where the Russians are threatening to break through.

A drone hitting the Zaporozhia NPP was likely just a reminder of what ‘might’ happen if the Russians try to take advantage of that move.

The UkraNazis are acting like cornered rats. They might end up poisoning themselves with radioactive fallout. Not to mention a chunk of the land of former Ukraine.

Those domes are engineered to withstand a commercial airliner crashing into them. Drones won’t even leave a scratch.

In Soviet era technical “experts” you trust! That’s Rich! I’ve seen you can’t even trust state of the art American and Japanese experts when it comes to this stuff.

If you think a hundred or so pounds of explosives will damage those domes you’re even more delusional than I thought.

Better check your facts, there. The Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant was built by the Russkies. You remember them, the Chernobyl guys?

They didn’t use the extreme containment technology that the US does.

It’s a completely different reactor design.

Who said a hundred pounds anyway? It could be a hundred, it could be 500, it could be 5000 pounds. You have absolutely no idea what NATO is capable of putting on that target. Good God, one Karine Jean Pierre is enough. We don’t need FR’s administration shillomatic pushing globohomo rainbows and unicorns around here too.

“Who said a hundred pounds anyway? It could be a hundred, it could be 500, it could be 5000 pounds.”

No drone I’m aware of can carry a 5,000 pound payload.

“ You have absolutely no idea what NATO is capable of putting on that target.”

NATO isn’t bombing them. Ukraine is.
