Basically, everything flies towards Odessa, both from Crimea and other directions.

The "Typical Odessa" Telegram channel has been reporting incoming flights since last night. Air raid sirens have been sounded several times, the latest at 08:40 AM.

Meanwhile, the Russian FSB has thwarted another attempt by Ukrainian Nazis to carry out a terrorist attack using drones imported into Russia:

MOSCOW, July 14. /TASS/. The FSB thwarted a massive drone attack on a strategic facility in a residential area in the Moscow region. This was reported by the FSB Public Relations Center (PRC).

"During countermeasures against Ukrainian special services, a terrorist attack planned by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) against a strategic enterprise located in a residential area of ​​the Moscow region was prevented. The attack involved the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) smuggled into Russia," the Center for Public Relations stated. "The special operation to prevent the terrorist attack was initiated by intelligence information regarding the delivery of a cargo containing weapons along the route Bratislava (Slovakia) - Siedlce (Poland) - Brest (Belarus) - Moscow region, organized by the SBU with the assistance of European intelligence services," the Center for Public Relations added.

The plan was to remotely launch 35 FPV drones, equipped with Canadian-made electronic warfare-resistant control systems, from a rented hangar located next to the facility. "After the enemy launched the drones, all terrorist weapons were destroyed by the FSB special forces accompanying the operation. The operation was carried out under conditions of guaranteed security for the target, as well as for civilians and military personnel," the FSB emphasized.

Those bastards – they wanted to attack the strategists' base. Engels and Ukrainka are the main bases for inter-theater maneuvers...

Here are the bastards

That's exactly it, these bastards are using teenagers to the fullest extent to carry out their plans.

MOSCOW, July 14. /TASS/. The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) recruited teenagers aged 13-16 to carry out specific tasks while preparing a massive drone attack on a business in the Moscow region. This was reported by the Public Relations Center (PRC) of the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB).

"The SBU's involvement in certain tasks, specifically activating illegally acquired SIM cards used to control drones, is noteworthy," the Center for Public Security noted.

This isn't the first time children have been used in combat... I remember during the Paraguayan War of 1864, López conscripted children as young as 14. Since Paraguay was cut off from the sea and had no military-industrial complex, the children were given wooden guns—"so they'd be taken seriously." Their primary weapon was a machete. During battle, their main task was to stand in close formation, and when the cavalry attempted to attack, they were to be shot down with smoothbore cannons loaded with shards of broken pots instead of grapeshot.
This same Lopez is still considered a national hero in Paraguay...

I don't know what they were planning, but after yesterday's supposed 1000 UAVs, it turns out there weren't any at all today. Are they hoarding? Or what?

[nobody75]

They're developing new tactics. The old ones didn't bring victory. Previously, they operated like Kovpak—attacking weakly defended targets. Now there are practically none of those left. I think they'll switch to open terror against civilians.

Who cares about you? Flights to the Rostov region have been flying since yesterday evening, and they're still going strong. So no one's saving anything up.

Yuzhny Port should cease operating; it's Ukraine's main export port. You can't shovel much bulk cargo, especially iron ore concentrate. Grain and coal need to burn well, especially coal—they'll be a pain to extinguish. And extinguishing grain with water is a real challenge.

Andrey, interesting news from Chernomorsk.

Kernel, one of Ukraine's largest sunflower oil and grain exporters, announced the suspension of operations at its Chornomorsk terminal following massive Russian attacks on the night of July 12.

Loading and unloading equipment, terminal infrastructure and power lines, grain silos and sunflower oil tanks were damaged.

Alexander, the Russian port statistics for the first half of 2026 are in. Now the Brovdi fans will be howling. How come? The Baltic is in decline, not just from drone strikes, but mainly from severe ice conditions. They even had to remove a nuclear icebreaker from the Northern Sea Route and send it to the Gulf of Finland.

I got downvoted a week ago for this suggestion. I would like to believe that they will start systematically attacking the ports until the result is irreversible.

The Russian Ministry of Defense provided specific details regarding the attacked facilities in Kyiv.

It is reported that the Russian Armed Forces struck the Kyiv assembly and components plant "Radioizmeritel", which supplies components for the Neptune-MD missiles.

In the Odessa region, at the Yuzhny port, facilities used for unloading fuel and lubricants and seven storage tanks were damaged.
Also in the port of Yuzhny, on the territory of the container terminal, a dry cargo ship carrying military cargo was damaged during unloading.

Since 1917, Russia has been used by the Americans to destroy their European competitors. First, under the banner of world revolution. Then, to provoke and during WWII. Then, to destroy the Western colonial empires. Now, during the Second World War, we are destroying Russian industry in Ukraine, while the Americans are strangling all of Eurasia with sanctions.
We need to destroy the Banderites and seize their property! Kill Zelensky and Co.: we won't have to destroy thousands of factories and ruin a million mobile phones on LBS.

Zelena doesn't need to beg the Patriots from the owners, but rather extra-large capacity diapers for the Ukrainians.

The ports of Odessa, Nikolaev, and Izmail are subject to complete destruction... the entire port infrastructure on the coast of Sumer must be razed to the ground... unacceptable conditions must be created for anyone wishing to enter this contaminated territory.

It's much cheaper and safer to flood a couple of "troughs" in the fairway. Here in VO, we've been working on this for a while, so I'm not exactly original.

[the same doctor]

Are Zelensky and Budanov alive? Aren't the Ukrainians asking for peace? So we're aiming in the wrong direction again.
