The Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) said on Tuesday that it had prevented an attack with FPV drones planned by the Ukrainian Security Service, targeting a strategic defense enterprise in the Moscow Region.
The special operation to stop the terrorist attack was launched after receiving intelligence information about the delivery of a cargo with weapons through Slovakia, Poland and Belarus to the Moscow Region, organized by Kiev with the assistance of the special services of European states, the statement read.
A batch of Spanish ceramic tiles, inside of which 35 FPV drones set up in Kiev were camouflaged, was imported to Russia, the FSB said, adding that they were equipped with Canadian-made control systems that were resistant to electronic warfare, and with a warhead consisting of foreign-made explosives.
The FPV drones were placed in a hangar next to the defense enterprise, which was rented by a Russian citizen recruited by Kiev for money, the FSB said, adding that the tenant put up armed resistance and was killed during the detention.

Day: July 14, 2026
The ultimate geopolitical choke point: Russia’s Yamal gas intersection. Sitting 1,700 km from Ukraine, this vital hub is well within range of Kyiv’s newly proven 2,000 km long-range strike drones.
If Ukrainian drone commander Robert “Madyar” Brovdi turns his attention northward, the result wouldn’t just be a gas freeze—it would trigger a total collapse of the Russian power grid. Russia relies heavily on gas-fired generators to balance the massive output from its nuclear power plants. Knocking out the Yamal hub would cause a catastrophic black-start failure across the country.
With no power, no heating, and no industrial capacity, the Kremlin would face an existential domestic crisis. Is this the threat that finally forces Moscow to abandon its “SVO” and pull back? The clock is ticking on Russia’s energy heartland. #YamalHub #EnergySecurity #DroneWarfare #Madyar #UkraineWar #RussiaEnergy #Geopolitics

The Integrated Anti-Ballistic Missile Coalition (IAMC) is a multinational defense partnership established on July 13, 2026, by Ukraine and nine European nations to build a shared ballistic missile defense shield. [1, 2]
The coalition was officially formed during the Coalition of the Willing meetings in Paris. [2, 3]

United KingdomPrimary Focus and Goals
Shared Architecture: The coalition’s objective is to develop a comprehensive, interoperable missile defense network to protect Europe from ballistic threats.
The “FREYJA” Project: The flagship initiative of the coalition is a mass-producible, affordable anti-ballistic system. It is built around a Ukrainian-designed interceptor missile (from manufacturer Fire Point), which is designed to serve as a lower-cost alternative to the U.S.-made Patriot system.
Industrial Cooperation: The program brings together operational expertise, research institutions, and defense manufacturers from across the participating countries (including Thales, MBDA, Saab, Diehl Defence, and Eurosam) to scale up the production of critical defense components.

-Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський (@ZelenskyyUa)The reality in Ukraine right now is that sometimes we do not have the missiles needed to intercept ballistic missiles. That is why we launched a new Anti-Ballistic Missile Program that includes coordination across the political, governmental, and industrial dimensions and can deliver anti-ballistic weapons at scale: the system and the missiles for it.We named the program FREYJA, and today our Anti-Ballistic Missile Coalition held its first, inaugural meeting. Thank you, friends, for your support. It is important that European companies are also represented – specifically those that manufacture critical components for defense systems: Fire Point, Thales, Diehl Defence, Saab, Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace, Weibel, Leonardo, Sener, MBDA, Eurosam, Safran, and Destinus.
Each of us has important pieces. Ukraine has missiles, but they are only part of the system. Together, over the next 12 months, we can build this system at scale – FREYJA.
Joint press conference with the co-chairs of the Coalition of the Willing. (1/3)
