The Security Service of Ukraine announced that it had struck 300 vessels belonging to Russia's shadow fleet in the Black and Azov Seas

On September 22, Robert “Madyar” Brovdi, commander of a unit of the Unmanned Systems Forces, Brovdi stated that as part of Operation “MoLoChka,” the Ukrainian military has disabled 300 vessels of the Russian shadow fleet over the course of 11 weeks.

 

According to him, the operation has been ongoing since July 6. In the Black Sea, as Brovdi noted, 166 vessels were struck, and another 134 in the Sea of Azov.

“The ‘300th Fleet’—a suitcase without a handle and a drain on the meager budget,” Madyar wrote.

He also stated that a de facto blockade is in place in the Sea of Azov and the Kerch Strait, while in the northern and northeastern parts of the Black Sea, Russian vessels are attempting to continue their movement.

Brovdi posted the message on September 22 and noted that a video of the operation is available in a pinned comment.

Earlier, Madyar had warned of a possible intensification of Russian attacks and a new mobilization.

Madyar also reported 15 strikes by Ukrainian drones on Wildberries facilities in Russia.

In addition, Madyar outlined five steps to protect the Baltic states from a possible Russian offensive.

Earlier, Madyar reported that thousands of vehicles had been destroyed on the R-280 highway.
