All airports in the Russian capital have been closed.
On the evening of November 12, Moscow was attacked by a record number of drones. Due to the massive attack, all four airports in the Russian capital were closed, leading to flight delays.
This was reported by the Russian publication MSK1.RU.
Information has surfaced online that the Russian capital was subjected to a record-breaking drone attack.
Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin stated that in less than an hour, air defense forces allegedly shot down 46 drones flying toward the city.
Subsequently, the total number of drones reportedly destroyed rose to 51, and a drone threat alert was declared in the Moscow region.
Amid the drone attack, operations were restricted at all four major Moscow airports—Vnukovo, Domodedovo, Sheremetyevo, and Zhukovsky.
Vnukovo Airport was the first to switch to special operating procedures, and similar restrictions were subsequently introduced at the others.
According to the online departure board, flight delays have begun at the airports.
The most challenging situation is at Vnukovo, where about a dozen incoming flights are delayed, resulting in a continuous string of delays on the departure board.
At Sheremetyevo, delays are being reported for about two dozen flights, mostly on arrival, though the majority of flights are operating on schedule.
Meanwhile, only a few isolated delays are being reported at Domodedovo, and there are no schedule issues at Zhukovsky Airport so far.
It should be noted that this is not the first time such disruptions to Russian air traffic have been caused by drone attacks.
In particular, on the evening of November 2, a drone attack paralyzed all four of Moscow’s airports, and two of them were completely closed to incoming and outgoing flights at that time.
At that time, Russian air defense forces reportedly shot down 46 UAVs in a matter of hours.
An even more widespread disruption occurred in late October.
On October 29, more than 460 flights in Russia were delayed or canceled due to a record-breaking drone attack, the effects of which were felt simultaneously at airports in Moscow and St. Petersburg.
