Ukrainian power grid will be down a long time.
They need 59 High Voltage transformers, most of which take up to 2 years to custom build.
USA and EU outsourced all this to China. So after 2 years you get a transformer weighing 200 tons, it is shipped by boat from China another 6 months. To a port in the EU with the crane capacity to lift it onto a special rail car, to be hauled to Ukraine. To be off loaded and installed if they have mobile cranes and the trucks to off load and haul to site.
Then do they have the expertise. Most of this hardware in Ukraine was build by the old USSR.
On Saturday the Russians sent another 80 missiles and are now targeting the actual power stations and turbines.
Some of the missiles, some new kind of missile, the American satellites did not see them enter Ukraine. NATO satellites and radar did not see them. It took US and NATO experts 5 hrs to figure out they had been hit by a Russian missile that they could not detect.
