Russian passengers left stranded as airspace closes | Break the Fake https://video.echelon.pl/videos/watch/26d80da8-54e7-4875-9891-4e50513526f0 Russia’s supposedly impenetrable air defenses are facing another test as Ukrainian drone threats disrupt aviation across the country. For the second night in a row, airports in Moscow and St. Petersburg have faced widespread flight restrictions, leaving passengers stranded and airlines scrambling to cope. More than 370 flights were delayed or canceled at Moscow’s airports, while St. Petersburg’s Pulkovo Airport also suspended operations. Some passengers spent the night on airport floors as aircraft circled overhead, were diverted, or burned through precious fuel. All this comes as Russia continues to present itself as a military superpower while facing a growing fuel crisis of its own. Officials have cited safety concerns but have not clearly explained the cause of the disruptions. Meanwhile, Russian passengers are discovering that even a routine flight can turn into an overnight ordeal when the war reaches the country's skies. Join Jonasz Rewiński in a new episode of Break the Fake to see how drone threats are disrupting Russian air travel and why the country’s aviation system keeps paying the price.
