Aeroporturile din Rusia au fost închise de 993 de ori într-o singură lună în urma amenințărilor cu drone ucrainene, cel mai grav bilanț de la începutul invaziei

Russian airports experienced significant disruptions in August due to drone threats, leading to numerous temporary closures. A total of 993 closures were reported at 32 airports, including major cities like Moscow and St. Petersburg. The summer months saw a total of 2,182 closures, surpassing the total for the entire year of 2025. The closures are initiated under the 'Kover' protocol, a defense mechanism against aerial threats. Ukrainian President Zelensky warned that Russian airspace is increasingly unsafe for civil aviation. The impact extends to ground transport, with a notable decrease in passenger numbers on key routes. Analysts suggest these disruptions contribute to broader economic pressures on Russia.
