Ukraine eyed a 1,000-drone swarm to paralyze Moscow airports
According to The Atlantic, Ukraine allegedly drafted a plan codenamed 'M&Ms' to deploy up to 1,000 autonomous drones in a single night to overwhelm Moscow’s four major airports, disrupt air travel and pressure Russia toward negotiations; the drones would autonomously identify targets, and the operation was reportedly halted after Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov resigned, though Kyiv denies the operation’s existence and says Ukraine’s goal is to trigger temporary emergency air-traffic restrictions rather than shut airports; the plan’s viability remains unclear.
