Ukrainian special forces hit 12 more vessels from Russia's shadow fleet
Between August 1 and 8, operators from the 414th Madyar’s Birds Brigade, the 20th K-2 Brigade, and the 413th Raid Regiment struck another 12 vessels from the remaining shadow fleet in the Black and Azov Seas, the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ Unmanned Systems Forces said on Saturday.
In the past week, Ukrainian Unmanned Systems Forces (USF) have conducted strikes on 12 Russian vessels in both the Black and Azov Seas, according to USF Commander Robert "Madyar" Brovdi. These strikes were carried out as part of Operation MoLoChKa, which commenced on July 6. Overall, Ukrainian drones have targeted 218 Russian vessels since the operation's inception, with 134 vessels struck in the Sea of Azov and 84 in the Black Sea.
The primary objective of Operation MoLoChKa is to disrupt Russia's maritime logistics and vessels comprising its shadow fleet, which Moscow utilizes to transport oil and cargo while evading international restrictions. Additionally, USF units reported striking 102 Russian military targets within 48 hours, encompassing energy infrastructure, warehouses, radar systems, and vessels associated with Russia's shadow fleet.
