USF Campaigns

In summer 2026 Commander of the Unmanned Systems Forces Robert Brovdi conducts several named campaigns simultaneously — each with a separate name, separate counter, and separate target logic. Naming here is not cosmetic: a campaign name is a concise message about what and why is being struck, designed to be retold by media and repeated by channel readers.

Campaign statuses and figures — as of 10.09.2026 (source: official Telegram channel of USF Commander, summary post about summer of three campaigns No. 2782 dated 01.09.2026).

"MoLoCHKa"

Ongoing
Launch: 06.07.2026 · ongoing indefinitely
260vessels from 06.07 (as of 31.08.2026)
54 vessels in August 2026

USF maritime drone campaign against rf's "shadow fleet" in the Azov and Black Seas. The Commander publicly deciphered the name as "MOscow Will Fall Through Crimea". One of three confirmed vectors to which the summary post of 01.09.2026 reduced the entire summer.

349energy nodes since 06.07.2026 (post #2782)
168 in August 2026

Energy blockade of occupied Crimea: 330/220/110 kV substations in Kerch, Feodosia, Yevpatoria and the energy bridge hub "Kuban–Crimea". On 28.08.2026 the campaign opened a new "East-Vyo" branch in occupied Luhansk region. Energy vector of the broader campaign "Cutting Off Crimea".

Open "Crimea-Circuit Breaker"

"Wild Berry"

Ongoing
Start: July 2026 · 24.08 expanded to Ozon
24Wildberries warehouses destroyed (28.08.2026, according to the Commander)
+3 Ozon warehouses (24.08.2026)

Strikes on logistics hubs of the Wildberries marketplace involved in rf military logistics. On 24.08.2026 the campaign was first expanded to a second marketplace — Ozon. The Commander's channel calls it the "twin sister" of maritime "MoLOCHKa": one hits at sea, the other — at warehouses.

Open "Wild Berry"

"PPOpad"

Ongoing
Start: hunting ongoing since early 2026
263air defense elements since early 2026 (as of 01.09.2026)
33 in August 2026

Systematic USF hunting of rf air defense — S-400, Tor, Pantsir, radar. Clears corridors for deep strikes of other campaigns: less air defense on the route — cheaper subsequent strikes. On 01.09.2026 the channel itself elevated "PPOpad" to the level of "MoLOCHKa" and "Crimea-Circuit Breaker".

Open "PPOpad"

"Cutting Off Crimea"

Indefinite
Start: from June 2026
3pressure vectors

Umbrella multi-domain campaign that combines energy blockade, fuel blockade and logistics lockdown of the peninsula into one doctrine. Three components together: 260 vessels, 349 power nodes, 263 air defense elements — three separate, non-cumulative data series (see "Cutting Off Crimea").

Open "Cutting Off Crimea"

"East-Vyo"

Ongoing
Start: 28.08.2026 · branch of "Crimea-Circuit Breaker"
no separate counter

Geographic expansion of the energy pressure of "Crimean Circuit Breaker off" to occupied Luhansk region. First declared targets — Luhansk TPP "Shchastia" and "Alchevsk" substation. Targets of this direction are included in the overall count of "Crimea-Circuit Breaker" (349), the channel does not keep a separate number for "East-Vyo".

Logic of named campaigns

Operation names are standard military practice: an unnamed war does not make headlines. But the USF Commander's approach goes one step further — the name does not describe the campaign from outside, it carries the thesis inside itself. "MoLOCHKa" is deciphered as "MOscow Will Fall Through Crimea": the acronym is not a label, but a forecast of the war's outcome compressed into four letters. Whoever repeats the campaign name (journalist, reader, ally) involuntarily repeats the thesis embedded inside.

These campaigns do not exist separately from one another in the channel's communication—they are reported together, in one summary, by the same message. In the sitrep of 30.07.2026, the Commander names three at once in one paragraph: "PPOpad continues", "MoLOChKa⚓️ +4 tankers", "Crimean circuit breaker off also in tone"—three named campaigns, three separate counters, one report for one day.

"Twins"—a name as a system, not a coincidence

The Commander's channel directly calls "Wild Berry" and "MoLOChKa" "twins": one campaign strikes the shadow fleet at sea, the other—logistical hubs of Wildberries on land, both—against one class of targets: infrastructure that feeds russia's war with money and cargo. When two campaigns are named as a pair, not simply listed, this signals a system of pressure along several directions simultaneously—not a series of random strikes, but a coordinated doctrine.

Sources: Telegram, TG 2676 (30.07)

The summary post of 01.09.2026 reduced the entire summer to three named campaigns—"MoLOChKa", "PPOpad", "Crimean circuit breaker off"—thereby officially confirming: in the channel's communication, "Wild Berry" as of September exists separately (through foreign interviews, not its own cumulative counter in the monthly summary), and "Cutting off Crimea" remains an umbrella frame without its own number. Three confirmed campaigns together: 260 vessels of "MoLOChKa", 349 energy nodes of "Crimean circuit breaker", 263 air defense elements of "PPOpad"—three separate, non-summed data series of one doctrine. Naming here again remains not a measure of where the most strikes occur, but a measure of which story the channel wants retold.
