The aim was reportedly not so much to physically destroy the airports as to disrupt civilian air traffic to and from Moscow for an extended period. The planners hoped this would put additional pressure on Russian elites and eventually push them to demand that Vladimir Putin negotiate. According to one source, up to 1,000 drones per night could have been needed to overwhelm Russian air defences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The operation was reportedly codenamed M&amp;Ms and envisaged the use of cheap, largely identical drones capable of identifying targets autonomously without continuous operator control. According to two <em>Atlantic<\/em> sources, Ukrainian developers were working on an autonomous navigation system based on <em>map matching<\/em>. The drones would compare images captured by their cameras during flight with preloaded maps and target imagery, allowing them to operate even amid Russian electronic warfare interference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The plan reportedly raised serious concerns over the risk of hitting civilian aircraft and people. According to the publication\u2019s sources, Zelenskyy allowed preparations to continue but the project was halted in July following the dismissal of then-Defence Minister Mykhailo Fedorov, whom <em>The Atlantic<\/em> describes as one of its architects. One source said the operation could technically be revived in around three months. However, a representative of the President\u2019s Office denied that such a plan existed, calling the report \u201ctotal nonsense\u201d, while <em>The Atlantic<\/em>\u2019s sources remain anonymous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/national-security\/2026\/08\/ukraine-moscow-airports-ai-drones\/688337\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Read more<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SSU and National Police foil assassination attempt against defence company executive in Kyiv region<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Security Service of Ukraine\u2019s counterintelligence unit and the National Police foiled a Russian intelligence-backed terrorist attack in Kyiv region. The operation prevented the assassination of the head of one of Ukraine\u2019s defence companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the SBU, Russia\u2019s Federal Security Service was behind the plot. The attackers planned to kill the executive using an explosive device attached under the driver\u2019s seat of his car. SBU counterintelligence and the National Police discovered, removed and defused the bomb in advance.
