Sheremetyevo International Airport

Civilian flights at all four of Moscow's main airports were suspended this afternoon amid a Ukrainian drone raid on Russian capital.

Restrictions on arriving and departing flights of Sheremetyevo, Domodedovo, Nukovo, and Zhukovsky airports were announced by Russian civil aviation authority Rosaviatia at 2.05 p.m. local time.

According to Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin, 17 drones were shot down while heading toward the city in the afternoon.

Meanwhile, explosions were reported.

On the night of the 13th, Vnukovo was closed for 8 hours and 51 minutes.

The following night, Vnukovo, Domodedovo and Zhukovsky shot for 8 hours and 39, and Sheremetyevo for 7 hours.

The longest simultaneous closure for all four since, well, at least the start of the war.

The Atlantic quoted two sources saying that the operation against Russian airports is only the beginning.

And then last night, it was also Moscow again.

Moscow is Sheremetyevo Airport.

All terminals are packed with stranded passengers.

People are sleeping in the most unexpected places, in cafes, children's play areas, making makeshift beds on the floor and trying to get comfortable in chairs.

Some passengers had to sleep in terminals.

Then on Sunday evening, all Moscow airports, including Sheremetyevo, Domodedovo, and Vnukovo again had to halt flights for a second time and grounded traffic as authorities scrambled over at least twelve Ukrainian drones that have been targeting the Russian capital.

Now into Ukraine and on Saturday in Zaporizhzhia, twenty people were killed by glide bombs.

The United Nations in Ukraine says it was one of many intense attacks carried out by the Russian armed forces across Ukraine in recent days.

Below them, Moscow is shut.

All four airports, Sheremetyevo, Vnukovo, Domodedovo, Zhukovsky, are closed.

Air defence firing over the southern... ...drifting above the tower blocks.

And the planes that carry the most important cargo that the Russian state possesses are stacked in holding patterns over a capital that they cannot land in.

I have shared video.

probably three weeks ago, where a Russian was stating, my two buddies who own businesses were trying to get on a plane and leave from Sheremetyevo, and they were rejected, not because they didn't have the documents to go abroad, but because they were not allowed to leave.

It's just the little signals are there.

And the biggest signal is...
