Month: July 2026

In his morning summary today, Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces (USF) Commander Robert “Magyar” Brovdi laid out the objectives of the ongoing campaign against Russian shadow fleet vessels in the Sea of Azov and Black Sea (see link).

Overnight strikes added 11 vessels to the operation:

• 5 oil tankers
• 5 dry cargo vessels
• 1 tugboat

Cumulative total for the current operation now stands at 116 vessels struck.

+11⚓️🔥 on the night of July 14. In just 9 days, USF Birds have hunted down 116 vessels in the Sea of Azov as part of Operation “MoLoCHKa”: 5 oil tankers, 5 dry cargo vessels, and 1 tugboat.

The shadow fleet is wasting away – and it should disappear as a species.

A lot of people don’t fully understand what’s happening around this naval battle. Where did all these tankers come from? What’s their mission? And why are the USF Birds hammering them without sinking them, instead turning them into ghost ships drifting at sea? I’ll find the time and record a video explaining it all.

For now, here’s the short version: PARALYZING russia’s feeder fleet – the small and medium 140-meter flat-bottomed “courier” tankers with a deadweight of around 7,000 tons – effectively cripples a major component of russia’s shadow fleet. It prevents the export of its “black gold” from river-port oil transshipment bases and loading terminals through the Volga–Don Canal and the Sea of Azov to large tankers. Those larger tankers can’t reach the oil terminals or ports because of their draft, so they’re forced to load offshore in the Black Sea from these courier tankers, each of them taking on cargo delivered by 12–15 of these little water shuttles.

Burning these worm-camels of the sea – along with the tugboats that keep dragging them around after they’ve been hit – also limits deliveries of scarce gasoline to Crimea through the shallow bottleneck of the Sea of Azov. That leaves road and rail tankers as the primary supply route – a far more dangerous option, since both remain under the fire control of the Freedom-Loving Ukrainian Bird, whether they move on asphalt or rails.

That turned into quite a sentence, but the curious ones will figure it out. I’ll explain the rest more clearly in another video soon. Promise.

Back to work, gentlemen! We’ve got a hell of a lot to do.

We will stand.
Moscow will fall, MoLoChKa⚓️is in action.
Crimea will be fed back up and rebuilt.
