Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces have struck another 12 vessels linked to Russia's shadow fleet in the Black and Azov Seas as part of the MoLoChKa operation.

Major Robert Brovdi, call sign “Madyar”, commander of the Unmanned Systems Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, reported this.

Between 1 and 8 August, the Unmanned Systems Forces successfully engaged 12 vessels. In one episode, a Russian Pantsir-S1 anti-aircraft missile and gun system fired three guided missiles at a Ukrainian drone. Despite this, Ukrainian troops managed to strike the shadow fleet vessel.

In total, since the start of the “MoLoChKa” operation on 6 July, Ukrainian forces have successfully engaged 218 vessels — 134 of them in the Sea of Azov and 84 in the Black Sea.

Madyar stressed that the “MoLoChKa” operation will not end once the 221-vessel mark is reached and will continue thereafter.

As ArmyInform reported earlier, over the past two days the Unmanned Systems Forces struck 102 enemy targets.
