"Kanada hat Elon Musk gerade gesagt: Wir ziehen weiter. Die kanadische Regierung stellt klar: „Von Starlink werden wir uns diversifizieren, gar keine Frage.“ Und sie untermauert das mit echtem Geld. Kanada baut sein eigenes Satellitennetzwerk, Telesat Lightspeed. Das bedeutet 225 Satelliten, die in Montreal gebaut werden, und ein Militärvertrag über 2,3 Milliarden kanadische Dollar, um die arktische Kommunikation in kanadischen Händen zu halten. Der Dienst startet 2028. Warum? Weil die Lebensader einer Nation niemals von den Stimmungsschwankungen eines einzelnen Milliardärs abhängen sollte.“
Drone pilots from Ukraine's SIGNUM Battalion are operating on the Lyman axis. The unit says Russian troops are placing mannequins resembling personnel to try to deceive drone operators, but experienced Ukrainian crews are identifying the decoys. #Ukraine
❗️The 🇺🇦1st Azov Corps (@azov_media) published footage of Russian assault routes in the Dobropillia direction — dozens of dead 🇷🇺Russian soldiers can be seen along just one of them.
Die Intensität der russischen Angriffe im Gebiet Kramatorsk hat deutlich nachgelassen: Im Oktober sank die Anzahl der Angriffe auf 0,3 pro Tag, verglichen mit 3 im August.
🇺🇦🔥 THE SOVIET STOCKPILES ARE RUNNING OUT. WHAT COMES NEXT?
OSINT researcher Jompy continues to monitor Russia's armored vehicle reserves using satellite imagery. And the picture is becoming increasingly interesting.
Several hundred T-72A hulls, a few dozen T-80UD tanks, and possibly some T-62s still remain at storage facilities. But this is no longer the "endless Soviet stockpile" that Russia was once believed to possess.
According to Jompy's estimates, once these reserves are exhausted, Russia will have to rely primarily on newly manufactured T-90M tanks — approximately 200–250 vehicles per year. Previously, a substantial portion of battlefield losses was replaced not through new production, but by retrieving, repairing, and modernizing vehicles from storage.
The situation is similar with infantry fighting vehicles and older armored personnel carriers. Several hundred hulls remain in storage, but fewer and fewer vehicles are suitable for rapid restoration and deployment. In the researcher's assessment, reactivating BRDMs, MT-LBus, or T-64s is unlikely to make much practical sense anymore.
The T-80 situation is particularly revealing. Russia discussed restarting serial production several years ago, but full-scale manufacturing has never resumed. Instead, old vehicles continue to be pulled from storage for modernization. According to satellite imagery, approximately 203 T-80s remained at one facility in May, compared with 253 just three months earlier.
Jompy also offers an interesting theory: Russia's reluctance to restart T-80 production may be connected not only to technological difficulties but also to competition within its defense industry — particularly Uralvagonzavod's desire to maintain its monopoly on manufacturing new tanks.
Ultimately, Russia is gradually transitioning from "pulling equipment out of storage" to "manufacturing replacements from scratch."
And this is where the mathematics of war becomes much simpler.
SOVIET STOCKPILES ARE NOT INFINITE.
Manufacturing a new tank requires significantly more time, resources, and industrial capacity than retrieving a vehicle that has spent 40 years sitting outdoors and sending it away for repairs.
Russia can continue producing tanks. But replacing battlefield losses will become an increasingly difficult industrial challenge as its Soviet inheritance disappears.
Fighters from the SIGNUM battalion took out Russians while they were on the move in a pickup truck. They say people can "burn out" at work—but our drone operators know a bit more about that, and they have the video proof to show for it🔥 #signum#fpvdrone#warinukraine🇺🇦 #зсу
Ukrainian defenders have all but eliminated the russian salient northeast of Lyman. The foreign invaders are isolated at Ivanivka and elsewhere are pushed back to and across the Zherebets' River.
General Keith Kellogg:
„Ich würde jede einzelne dieser verdammten Raffinerien, die Russland heute hat, niederbrennen. Alle ausschalten. Es ist ein militärisches Ziel.“
BREAKING | 🇺🇦🇷🇺‼️ Ukrainian forces have reportedly liberated the village of Fedorivka and advanced inside Komar on the Velyka Novosilka front in Donetsk Oblast.
According to Ukrainian battlefield reports, Ukrainian troops have regained control of Fedorivka while making additional territorial gains in Komar. The developments suggest further Ukrainian progress along this sector, although the exact extent of the advances has not been independently verified.
the liberation of Fedorivka and advances in Komar would represent another tactical success for Ukraine, increasing pressure on Russian defensive positions around Velyka Novosilka. Sustaining these gains could complicate Russian efforts to stabilize the front and force Moscow to commit additional reserves.

‼️ MORE THAN 60 RUSSIAN DRONES AND NINE JET-POWERED UAVS REPORTEDLY IN UKRAINIAN AIRSPACE
More than 60 Russian Geran-2/ Gerbera-2 drones, along with ~9 Geran-5 missiles and jet-powered Geran-4 drones, are currently flying over Ukraine, according to monitoring channels.

Ukraine has slowed Russian battlefield advances to a footpace in 2026 and has grown the already staggering human cost of the Russian advance.
Ukraine has retaken significant territory from Russia in 2026, and at the theater level has nearly zeroed out Russian gains for the year. ISW has observed evidence to assess that Russian forces have only made a net gain of about 100 square kilometers thus far in 2026 thanks to Ukrainian counteroffensives, which have liberated at least 1,046 square kilometers, for example. The daily Russian net rate of advance in 2026 is so far less than a square kilometer per day — literal footpace. Russia’s summer offensive has failed. Russia’s fall offensive is likely to fail as well.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has failed to accomplish any of his stated war aims in Ukraine to date. Putin did not force the Ukrainian government to capitulate, nor did he destroy the Ukrainian military. Russia is nowhere close to taking the rest of the Donetsk region, including the Fortress Belt – one of Putin’s stated war aims.
Ukraine has forced the Kremlin to confront dilemmas inside of Russia that would have been unthinkable not long ago. Ukraine’s deep strike campaign has triggered fuel shortages in Russia, degrading at least 30 percent of its refining capacity, and forced Moscow to choose which infrastructure to protect with air defense assets. Ukrainian advances and strikes are challenging Putin’s promises of Russia’s economic stability, security, and greatness.
Ukraine’s 2026 battlefield progress is not transient or accidental — it is a result of Ukraine’s maturing warfighting capabilities and military transformation that occurred over 2025 and 2026. Ukraine has significantly grown its intermediate-range and deep-strike campaigns, expanded military production, matured operational art concepts, and is increasingly focused on the long-term warfighting strategy. Ukraine is working on its ballistic missile program, which, if successful, will put key Russian defense industrial and military infrastructure at even greater risk.
