From: Transform Ukraine By Douglas Landro / October 7, 2025
A day when Russian provocations reached European airports, Ukrainian drones struck deep into Siberia, and the Kremlin’s psychological warfare campaign entered a dangerous new phase
The Story of One Unprecedented Day
On the 1,322nd day of Russia’s full-scale invasion, the war transformed before the world’s eyes. Mysterious drones circled Norwegian airports as Ukrainian strike drones reached 2,060 kilometers into Siberian Russia. Moscow’s intelligence services fabricated conspiracy theories about British false flags while Russian missiles struck a Ukrainian maternity hospital. The Kremlin was systematically probing European defenses, manufacturing fear, and laying psychological groundwork for what Western analysts called “Phase 0″—preparation for possible future conflict with NATO itself. From Oslo to Tyumen, from fabricated warnings to actual strikes, October 6 revealed a conflict no longer contained to Ukrainian battlefields but spreading across a theater stretching from the Baltic Sea to Siberia.
The Phantom Fleet: Drones Over Oslo
The unidentified aircraft appeared over Oslo’s Gardermoen International Airport sometime during the night of October 5 to 6. A pilot spotted them first—between three and five drones, their origins unknown, their purposes unclear. Norwegian authorities immediately delayed several plane landings and temporarily closed the airport, adding Oslo to a growing list of European capitals forced to shut down their aviation infrastructure due to mysterious aerial visitors.
The Norwegian Eastern Police District reported that a pilot and other unspecified actors spotted the drones. Norwegian law enforcement had not yet confirmed the possible sighting by the morning of October 6 and had not attributed the event to any specific actor. But the pattern was unmistakable. The drones appeared near critical infrastructure, authorities were forced to ground flights as a precaution, and no definitive answers emerged about who was responsible or what the drones were doing.
The psychological impact was precisely what someone intended. Every airport closure, every delayed flight, every anxious passenger scanning the skies reinforced a simple message: the war was no longer contained to Ukraine, and European civilians were no longer safe in their comfortable distance from the battlefield.
The Kremlin’s False Flag Theater
While mysterious drones circled European airports, Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) was busy constructing an alternative reality designed to confuse, deflect, and prepare the Russian population for potential escalation. On October 6, the SVR issued one of its most baroque conspiracy theories yet: the United Kingdom, they claimed, was planning for pro-Ukrainian Russians to attack a Ukrainian Navy ship or foreign civilian vessel in a European port, then blame Moscow while using Chinese-made underwater equipment to implicate Beijing in supporting Russian aggression.
