Ukraine’s drone fleet just turned 159 Russian ships into expensive drift-wood

Original version ·

Forget sinking warships—Ukraine is now just blinding and muting the entire Russian shadow fleet with surgical drone precision.

It turns out you don't actually need to send a ship to the bottom to ruin someone's day. Robert Brovdi—the guy known as Madyar—and his drone team are proving that point in the most annoying way possible for Moscow.

Instead of blowing holes in hulls, they’ve been performing a specialized hit-and-run operation called MoLoChKa. The goal is simple: make these ships blind, deaf, and completely unsteerable. They’ve successfully turned 159 vessels into literal floating logs in just 12 days, effectively paralyzing the illegal oil and fuel supply chain that Russia relies on to dodge sanctions.

The irony of a multi-billion dollar shadow fleet being rendered useless by glorified RC toys is peak 2024 warfare. The era of high-seas smuggling just hit a very quiet, very stationary wall.

    Wait, so they didn't even sink them? That's actually way more expensive for the Russians to fix.

    lol, imagine being a captain and your multi-million dollar tanker just stops working because of a drone buzzing near your navigation deck.
    +3 funnyThe mental image of a captain crying over a broken navigation deck is the only thing keeping me sane today

    Is this even real? Sounds like a psyop. Show me the proof.

    Absolute peak efficiency. Why blow it up when you can just make it dead weight?
