On the night of July 18, the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ unmanned aerial vehicle systems destroyed 13 more vessels of the Russian shadow fleet in the Black and Azov Seas.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This was reported by<\/a> the commander of the SBS Robert Brovdi (Madyar).<\/p>\n

According to him, the damaged vessels included eight dry cargo ships, a tanker, a gas tanker, a tugboat, and two floating cranes.<\/p>\n

Brovdi noted that as part of Operation MoLoChKa, which ran from July 6 to 18, the Unmanned Systems Forces have already destroyed 172 vessels of the Russian shadow fleet. Of these, 118 were in the Sea of Azov and 54 in the Black Sea.<\/p>\n

The commander emphasized that the goal of the operation is to disrupt the logistics of transporting oil, fuel, and other cargo that Russia transports in violation of international sanctions.<\/p>\n

“The goal remains unchanged: stopping the supply of oil, fuel, and cargo in defiance of sanctions. We will turn every self-propelled vessel into a drifting barge, blind and deaf. The goal is not to pollute the waters with oil spills, so no breaches,” Brovdi noted.<\/p>\n

\n

As a reminder, Commander of the Unmanned Systems Forces Robert (“Magyar”) Brovdi reported that 28 Russian shadow fleet vessels were struck in the Sea of Azov overnight on July 11.<\/a><\/p>\n

As reported, on the night of July 14, units of the Unmanned Systems Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine struck 11 Russian vessels in the Sea of Azov.<\/a><\/p>\n
