In summer and autumn 2026, Commander of the Unmanned Systems Forces Robert Brovdi runs several named campaigns simultaneously—each with a separate name, separate counter, and separate target logic. Naming here is not cosmetic: the campaign name is a concise message about what is being hit and why, designed to be retold by media and repeated by the channel's readers.
USF naval drone campaign against rf's "shadow fleet" in the Azov and Black Seas. The Commander publicly decoded the name as "MOscow Will Fall Through Crimea." The 300th caught watercraft (post №2838, 22.09.2026) breaks down into 134 vessels in the Azov Sea and 166 in the Black Sea. "Azov stands completely shut, together with the Kerch Strait"—the Commander's wording (post №2811, 12.09.2026) on the state of the Azov vector of the campaign.

Open "MoLOCHKa"Energy blockade of occupied Crimea: 330/220/110 kV substations in Kerch, Feodosia, Yevpatoria and the "Kuban–Crimea" energy bridge node. On 28.08.2026 the campaign opened a new branch "East-Vyo" in occupied Luhansk region. The channel's count moved throughout September: 374 (09.09, post №2805) → 412 (22.09, post №2841) → 456 as of 03.10.2026 (post №2872). Energy vector of the broader campaign "Cutting Off Crimea".

Open "Crimea-Circuit Breaker"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"Systemic USF hunt for rf air defense—S-400, Tor, Pantsir, radar. Clears corridors for deep strikes of other campaigns: fewer air-defense on route—cheaper subsequent strikes. The 300 milestone (post №2829, 19.09.2026, after 261 days from operation start) breaks down into 162 SAM systems, 124 radar complexes and 14 EW complexes; the jubilee 300th destroyed was a Buk-M3 SAM near settlement Ukrainka, TOT Zaporizhzhia region.

Open "PPOpad"Umbrella multi-domain campaign combining energy blockade, fuel blockade, and logistical lockdown of the peninsula into one doctrine. Three components as of 02.11.2026 (latest disclosed values): 300 vessels of "MoLoChKa" (post №2838, 22.09.2026), 456 energy nodes of the "Crimea-switch" (post №2872, 03.10.2026), 307 air-defense elements of "PPOpad" (post №2863, 30.09.2026)—three separate, non-summed data series (see "Cutting Off Crimea").

Open "Cutting Off Crimea"Geographic expansion of the "Crimea Circuit Breaker off" energy pressure to occupied Luhansk region. First declared targets — Luhansk TPP "Shchastia" and "Alchevsk" substation. Targets of this direction are included in the overall "Crimea Circuit Breaker" count (456 as of 03.10.2026, post No. 2872), the channel does not maintain a separate number for "East-Vyo". Posts No. 2805 and No. 2872 confirm this practice: Luhansk targets (Luhansk TPP "Shchastia" 09.09, "Peremoha" substation near Prokholadne 04.10) appear in the same summaries as Crimean and Zaporizhzhia nodes, without a separate "East-Vyo" counter.

Open section "East-Vyo"Unlike "MoLOCHKa," "PPOpad," or "Crimea Circuit-Breaker," deep strikes are not a separate named operation with its own title, but a direction of action: strikes on Russia's fuel, energy, and port infrastructure deep into its territory. According to post №2850 (26.09.2026), September delivered 30 targets—oil refineries in Ilsky, Perm, Novoshakhtinsk, Voronezh, Ufa (twice), Kuybyshev, and other Russian cities—by strikes of Magyar's Birds from 1st USF Operational Center jointly with 414th and 412th USF Brigades and 413th USF Regiment and partners from SBU, HUR, and SOF. Per the theses of The Telegraph interview (post №2856, 28.09.2026): 95% of USF efforts are at the tactical battlefield level, 5% are deep strikes (Deep Strike) and medium-range strikes (MiddleStrike); this direction delivers three effects—undermines Russia's war financing, its weapons production, and rear morale.

Open "Deep Strikes"As of 02.11.2026 in October, a new counter value was disclosed only for "Crimea Circuit Breaker off" — 456 energy nodes on 03.10.2026 (post No. 2872). For the remaining campaigns and figures there are no October values; the table shows the latest disclosed, each with date and post.

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.

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.

The summary post on September (No. 2863, 01.10.2026, together with campaign infographics) maintains the same division into three named campaigns — "MoLOCHKa", "PPOpad", "Crimea Circuit Breaker off" — and adds the September delta to each: "Wild Berry" as of September remains outside this monthly summary (due to foreign interviews, not its own cumulative counter), and "Cutting Off Crimea" remains the umbrella framework without its own number. The latest disclosed values of the three campaigns (as of 02.11.2026): 300 vessels of "MoLOCHKa" (22.09, post No. 2838), 456 energy nodes of "Crimea Circuit Breaker" (03.10, post No. 2872), 307 air defense elements of "PPOpad" (30.09, post No. 2863) — three separate, non-aggregated data series of one doctrine. To these the channel adds a fourth, unnamed direction — deep strikes on fuel and energy infrastructure of russia (30 targets in September, post No. 2850): unlike the three campaigns above, this is not a separate operation with its own name, but a target category of larger scale (details — on the "Deep Strikes" page). Naming here too remains not a measure of where the most strikes occur, but a measure of what story the channel wants retold.
