Crimea’s Grid Gets a Sudden Midnight Update Thanks to Ukraine’s Drones

Original version ·

Our drone operators just went on a massive Crimea road trip, and now nine electrical substations have permanently left the chat.

The newly minted Unmanned Systems Forces of Ukraine had a very busy night. They decided to test their range and hit 48 targets deep behind enemy lines.

The highlight of this night-time field trip? Nine electrical substations in occupied Crimea were abruptly disconnected from the matrix. No warnings, no polite customer service calls—just a sudden, massive blackout courtesy of flying Ukrainian engineering.

It turns out that building an entire military branch dedicated purely to drones is starting to pay off in the most satisfying, spark-flying way possible.

Air conditioning in July is overrated anyway.
