"Over the past nine days, Ukraine has launched a sustained drone campaign against Russian shipping in the Sea of Azov, opening a new front in its effort to "isolate Crimea" and disruptMoscow's military logistics and export routes.
The operation, led by Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces and dubbed "MoLoChKa" by its commander, Robert "Madyar" Brovdi, targets Russian military and commercial vessels. Oil tankers linked to Russia's so-called shadow fleet, dry cargo vessels, ferries, and tugboats operating along one of Russia's key maritime corridors have been hit. As of July 14, Brovdi said Ukrainian drones had attacked 116 vessels.
Early signs suggest the campaign is already affecting Russian maritime traffic, according to shipping data and analysts tracking activity in the region." KI
