      Did they attack it, or did fighting just happen around it? Because from all the ink the media spent on reporting about it, I don’t remember them actually saying it was targeted.

        If you truly believe that Russian commanders never considered the Ukrainian nuclear reactor a military target after the fact that they gladly bomb schools and civilian shelters that never contained anything with military value, we can be allowed to call you a sweet summer child.

      No. Russia did not send UAVs to damage a nuclear plant. Russia captured the plant as a strategic position to hold and control. Once your troops are stationed there, you have a vested interest in maintaining the integrity of the reactor. Ukraine’s attack was an attack on a nuclear plant with zero intention to hold and control it.

        Parts of a drone 100m from the plant.

        In no way provides proof of an attack aimed to damage the plant.

        Unless you are trying to claim russia walked in without firing a weapon. Atm you do not have the info to make that comparison.

        Taking posesston requires survailance and potential removal of guarding forces. Drone can be used for both.

          LOL, drones can be used for occupation? Really? Foolish mental acrobatics so you don’t have to deal with reality.

          Sending a drone, likely a kamikaze drone, at a nuclear power plant is not a valid military operation.

          What Russia did, quite clearly, was captured and secure a plant. What Ukraine did, based on the evidence, is chuck an explosive at a plant.
