Buyan-M class "Naro-Fominsk" claimed hit during last nights strike

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.

Ust-Luga oil terminal struck and burning after Ukrainian drone strikes tonight. Image 3 is as seen from the Estonian side.

Another SBS record yesterday at 801 personnel strikes, plus 2179 from the rest of the armed forces. At 0620 UTC we're already at 147 personnel strikes. The tally rises, the numbers march on, and the Russian manpower pool continues to be thoroughly breakfasted. All this, before I've even had my Weet-bix.

Weekend Ukraine map post for Sunday 8th November 2026 After a week away, we're back. Normal service will now resume. We've seen the substantial data leak from Russia's Rosstat. There is some particularly useful material within it, including records that independently corroborate previously reported events for which we had no supporting data, among them helicopter losses and ship sinkings. In broad terms, the data doesn't fundamentally change our existing estimates, but it does offer a fascinating insight into the scale of the reporting backlog. The lag is considerable, and the system appears to be struggling to keep pace. We can expect hundreds of thousands more records to be added over the coming year, and that's just accounting for events from this year. In the meantime, although map updates continued during our absence, there was a slight delay while travelling. You may have noticed a number of changes across the map: Orikhiv direction - We've returned much of the grey zone to blue following the failure of recent Russian attacks, as anticipated. West Donetsk, towards Velyka Novosilka - Minor adjustments as Ukrainian forces clear remaining Russian positions. Kupiansk direction - It's now a year since Gerasimov's claims about capturing Kupiansk helped lead thousands of Russian troops into a rather unfortunate situation upon which they were hoisted upon their own petard. As the map shows, the Russian position here has continued to deteriorate. Kostyantynivka: We've withdrawn some contested and red areas as Ukrainian forces clear further positions and Russian troops prove unable to consolidate their gains. This is against a backdrop of an already substantial grey zone in the area. Elsewhere, Ukrainian strikes have continued against significant targets, including the Saratov oil refinery and another attack on the Proton plant in Oryol. Hundreds of geolocations came in over the week, which can be viewed on the map and log (as it remains Open Source). Many thanks to the geolocators for continuing to work tirelessly.

Details at rosstat-leaks.com These are only deaths registered by Russian civil registries. The wounded, the missing and foreign mercenaries are not here It puts the actual death toll considerably higher than the 550k estimates what we had previously worked with.

British and Swedish drone operators getting in good practice with some of the finest Ukrainian drone operators. There's a few little easter eggs in there for the eagle eyed too.

October 2026 Recap Solid month from Ukrainian short range drones production and lethality improved by over 20% month on month during October, with the highest personnel strike records from both the Unmanned Systems and SBU Alpha recorded Ukrainian strikes on the VKS were significant during October, as they were in September. Ukrainian refinery strikes also continued, inflicting significant damage. Neptune missile strikes hit numerous targets, whilst Storm Shadow deliveries allowed further strikes on manufacturing facilities such as the Proton plant or Energiya plant. Russian strikes on Ukraine were focused on power, transport, shops and more with many civilians intentionally killed over the month. The Starlink disruption at the beginning of the month caused considerable uncertainty, though service was subsequently reported to have resumed. Its longer term implications remain to be seen. On the ground, October brought a rather different story from the one Moscow would have it's population believe. Ukrainian forces defeated Russian positions and recovered ground in several sectors, including near Mala Tokmachka, in the Kreminna direction after Operation Vivaldi, around Kupiansk in northeastern Kharkiv, and west of Siversk. And then there is Kostyantynivka. Contested it remains. We shall say no more. Looking towards November, winter will increasingly strip the landscape of its foliage, depriving infiltrators of the concealment upon which they have come to depend. Fewer places to hide mean more opportunities for drones to find their prey.

Doesn't seem to be at the airport itself
