USF Units Strike Another 12 Russian Shadow Fleet Vessels in the Black Sea.

Units of the Unmanned Systems Forces (USF) of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have struck another 12 vessels belonging to Russia’s shadow fleet in the Black Sea.

Commander of the USF, Major Robert “Madyar” Brovdi, announced the development on Friday, 17 July, via his Telegram channel.

According to him, Ukrainian drones targeted nine cargo ships, one oil tanker, one LNG carrier, and one tugboat during the latest operation.

Overall, since the launch of Operation “MoLoCHKa”, 159 enemy vessels have been struck in the Azov and Black Seas.

At the same time, Brovdi noted that USF operators deliberately avoid breaching the hulls of Russian shadow fleet tankers in order to prevent oil spills and environmental pollution.
