Daily Ukraine map thread for Wednesday 11th November 2026
A rather unfortunate day for the Russian military, with Ukrainian drones making themselves thoroughly unwelcome at Ust-Luga oil terminal. Damage is reported, and whilst Russian air defence appears to have been active, its identification and targeting arrangements were seemingly somewhat less successful. The result, according to claims, was the loss of two Ka-52 attack helicopters and one Mi-8 including crews.
Meanwhile, the SBU claim to have struck the Naro-Fominsk, a Buyan-M class corvette operating in the Baltic. If confirmed, another rather embarrassing addition to Russia's naval difficulties.
The Omsk refinery also received considerable attention from Ukrainian drones today, with multiple strikes reported across the facility.
A quieter picture on the frontline. The Unmanned Systems Forces recorded their lowest daily tally by some distance, with the weather evidently having a substantial say in proceedings. That said, even a poor day by recent standards remains a rather considerable number of strikes.

@haynesdeborah A thousand here, a thousand there, what's another million to the man in the chair?
We have a little site that maps the Unmanned Systems losses if that's any use to you (from their live killboard) https://t.co/evFoIC35pl

The Insider's latest investigation is a rather useful reminder of what happens to those who decide to become useful to Russian intelligence. John Mark Dougan spent years doing the Kremlin's dirty work, building disinformation networks, manufacturing stories and serving the GRU and FSB. Now he's an exhausted, underpaid nuisance, complaining that his Russian patrons have largely discarded him.
No word from Russian milblogger Romanov either, following his reported arrest in Crimea for reporting a simple harmless fact about buses. One wonders how many others are suddenly reconsidering their career choices.
For the propagandists and assorted 'analysts' who've accepted the Russian shilling - take a good look at yourself and your future. The Russian state does not tolerate loose ends. It has a long history of dealing ruthlessly with perceived liabilities, including its own people. You should have absolutely no confidence that distance, nationality or a change of allegiance will protect you.
You know who you are. You have a life ahead of you. We're not here to judge you for wanting out. Our DMs or Signal are open if you've got yourself into the shit.
After The Insider story on John Mark Dougan, he is now turning against his former bosses in the Kremlin, probably in order to relocate back to the US. In his own country, he's a wanted fugitive and has also been sanctioned by the EU.
I expect him to land in Russian prison or at the front line.
