Russia’s ‘Doomsday Radio’ crackles into life after ‘Spiderweb’ blitz – as Putin weighs options for terrifying revenge

RUSSIA’S mysterious doomsday radio station called “The Buzzer” burst into action after Ukraine’s daring Operation Spiderweb blitz.

A furious Vladimir Putin reportedly plans a frightening retaliation after Kyiv successfully destroyed over 40 Russian aircraft in a large-scale drone assault.

In the wake of the heavy losses, Russia’s sinister doomsday radio burst into activity, spewing out codewords. 

Utilized by the KGB during the peak of the Cold War, the UVB-76 radio station has been emitting a consistent buzz since the late 1970s, supposedly to transmit secret military communications.

But its activity is known to increase following major military or political events.

Among the cryptic words it uttered in Russian were Duck, Walrus, Meadow, Bee-eater, and Fun.

While one knows what these eerie signals indicate, speculations are that they are linked to secret military operations or even nuclear protocols.

UVB-76 transmits on the frequency 4625 kHz and is characterised by an eerie sound that buzzes 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

It has been active this year previously after Putin’s telephone calls with Donald Trump. 

A furious Putin is now expected to attack Ukraine in a revenge blitz.

Just hours after Kyiv’s audacious mass drone strike, Moscow launched, Russia launched a wave of retaliatory strikes overnight.

The lethal attacks overnight claimed the lives of five individuals in Zaporizhzhia, left six injured in Sumy, and resulted in additional casualties in the northeastern region of Kharkiv, as reported by Ukrainian officials.

It comes as Russian and Urkainian delegations are set to meet today in Istanbul for a second round of peace talks.
