Russia’s Pulkovo Airport In CHAOS As Ukrainian Drone Threat Looms | 7,000 Stranded In Mass Shutdown

Panic and paralysis gripped St. Petersburg’s Pulkovo Airport as a massive drone threat grounded flights and triggered Russia’s largest aviation disruption this year. Over 7,000 passengers were stranded after Moscow shut down the skies over northern Russia in response to what officials described as a coordinated Ukrainian drone assault. The result: more than 100 delayed flights, 30 canceled, and a bizarre traffic jam of planes unable to take off or land. Social media was flooded with footage showing anxious travelers, packed terminals, and idle aircraft lining the tarmac. The Kremlin has not confirmed whether any drones were intercepted or hit specific targets, but the lockdown has added pressure on Russia’s internal defense systems. The incident raises serious questions about the vulnerability of key infrastructure even far from the front lines, and could mark a turning point in Ukraine’s drone warfare strategy deep into Russian airspace. #PulkovoAirport #RussiaDroneAttack #UkraineDrones #FlightChaos #StPetersburgAirport #RussianAirspace #DroneWarfare #RussiaUkraineWar #FlightsGrounded #TravelDisruption #DroneThreatRussia #PutinAirSecurity #PulkovoShutDown #MoscowOrdersLockdown #RussianDefense #AirTrafficJam #UkraineStrikesDeep #StPetersburgCrisis #ZelenskyDroneStrike #RussiaCrisis ~HT.410~ED.420~
