❗️The Atlantic reports that Ukrainian officials developed a secret operation dubbed M&Ms that envisioned sending as many as 1,000 cheap, autonomous AI-guided drones a night toward airports in and around Moscow. The stated aim was to force Moscow's airspace to remain closed to civilian flights for an extended period and increase pressure on Russia's elites.Zelensky reportedly expressed serious concerns that drones could hit civilian aircraft or cause casualties among passengers, crews or airport staff, but allowed preparations to continue for several months. The report says planning was halted in July after Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov, described as the operation's mastermind, was dismissed. An official in Zelensky's office denied the plan existed, calling the report "total nonsense."
