Thank you. Lots of video online about removing barrage dams yet the Putinistas think that a stout Soviet era dam was flimsy enough to succumb to a few artillery shells.
Stalin and the Soviets loved making steel and pouring concrete. Yearly stats of their output was a good measure of how the USSR economy was growing stronger.
USSR poured concrete to build their brutalist (an architectural term) apartment blocks. And they certainly poured more than enough concrete into the Kakhovka Dam. The Soviets were concrete + rebar experts.
