Speaking of armor use. Unusually high number today. Something must have happened.

Since the recent leak, some have "learned" that Russian KIA numbers exceed half a million. I'd like to point out that our team has provided accurate calculations and loss estimates, using direct sources and access to Russian data. Here our estimates from early 2025 and 2026

Ukraine's 🇺🇦 large scale strike campaign against Russian 🇷🇺 oil refineries continues

Last night, Ukraine struck Volgograd oil refinery, the 10th in 2 weeks. Drones also hit the Samara oil pumping station for the second time.

Compared to previous campaigns, it seems many drones manage to get through.

The UAV developer 🇷🇺pro-war Telegram channel suggests that, as a protective measure against radio-controlled VBIED, vehicles should be equipped with electronic warfare systems that operate on the same frequencies used for the devices' remote control.

🌐 GUR: Russia is trying to accelerate the deployment of the low-orbit satellite communication system “Rassvet”.

❗️So far, Russia has launched 30 satellites into orbit in two batches - on March 23 and July 19, 2026. Two devices have already left orbit.

🔺 Of the 30 satellites, 26 have taken a stable position at an altitude of about 500–520 km. None have reached the planned altitude of 800 km. The remaining devices continue maneuvers to rise to the target orbit.

🔺 By the end of 2026, Russia planned to increase the group to 47–48 satellites. In 2027, it expects to launch another 240 devices to provide coverage of 94% of the territory of Russia with a data transfer speed of up to 150 Mbps. By 2031, the group should grow to 408, and by 2035 to 924 satellites.

Soyuz-2.1b rockets from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome are used for launches.

🔺 In 2027, the occupiers plan to develop four more terminal modifications — “Earth”, “Mini”, “Prime” and “Water”. In 2028, they are to present the aviation terminal “Air”.

🔍 The main executor of the project is LLC “Bureau 1440”, which is part of “IX Holding”. At least 46 Russian and three Belarusian companies are involved in the production cooperation. 22 enterprises, including “Bureau 1440”, are not under sanctions.

A new type of improvised 🇺🇦mine, disguised as a tree branch, has been reported. It's constructed from a water hose containing a plastic explosive charge and magnetic initiator, making it highly effective, dangerous, and difficult to detect in the field.

Drivers watched the drones fly at Russia's bridge

"One already hit the bridge, now this one will," a man on Russia's R-280 highway said on 8 November. Half a minute later, a fireball rose over the Mius River crossing.

Based on today's (so far) stats, besides what looks like areinforced-company-sizede mechanized assault, the Russian offensive effort might have dropped off (reduced overall numbers, but a reversed KIA:WIA ratio compared to past several days when WIA were more common than KIA).

🔥🔱Five separate days of successful Ukrainian Neptune strikes on Russian targets in the past 30 days: October 15, 29 and 31, and November 7 and 13.

That is the highest 30-day frequency for Neptune missiles during the war

The latest attack hit three drone-related sites in Rostov-on-Don: Ionos’s production facility and storage site, and Aero-Hit’s service center. ~240km from the frontline.

In his view, even if such operations are not "clean," they would serve as a kind of "message" to the adversary.
