Russia continued their large-scale Geran-2/4/5 drone attacks against Ukraine over the last 72 hours, using over 1,000 drones and S8000 Banderol cruise missiles to strike hundreds of targets across Ukraine.

The heaviest attacks were carried out on Kharkiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Kyiv, and Vinnytsia Oblasts. Compared to previous days, the strikes focused more heavily on Cherkasy and Kirovohrad Oblasts, and there was an increase in intensity on Zhytomyr and Rivne Oblasts.

The primary targets were, once again, electrical substations, thermal power plants, warehouses, and railway infrastructure. Some port infrastructure in Odesa Oblast and bridges in Zaporizhzhia City were also hit, while more tactical-level targets were struck closer to the frontline.

Note: Not every explosion necessarily represents an impact, as some can be mixed up as interceptions, although the vast majority of these locations did experience direct strikes. Additionally, this report will not have accounted for every single targeted location, and it's expected that there is a large number of other areas hit that aren't listed here.

Apologies for the delay, I've run the numbers for the October 2026 Military Vehicle losses.

As always, Russian losses have been taken from UkraineWarSpotting, whilst Ukrainian losses are from LostArmour.

I only include destroyed and captured, so no damaged ones, unclear footage or lack of aftermath. I've updated the September statistics as usual, with there only being a couple of additions to the losses in some categories for both sides (nothing significant).

Bloomberg reports that Ukraine will remain vulnerable to Russian ballistic missile attacks for at least another year, as they are not expected to receive any significant amount of Patriot PAC-2/3 interceptor missiles during this time.

Ukraine is expected to receive their next large batch from Germany in 2027, and another from Poland in 2028.

Ballistic missile launches from Yemen to Riyadh

The Ukrainian Parliament has advanced new legislation that would create the Space Forces as a new branch of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

This would involve the development of space technologies, including defending against threats from space, such as Russia's Oreshnik IRBM. A national early-warning system to detect Russian missile launchers was also proposed as, which could involve Ukraine's own satellites.

This comes as Ukraine has reportedly been testing it's own exo-atmospheric interception systems, and is in the aftermath of the October Starshield/Starlink restrictions.

Two Iranian Air Force fighter jets are currently conducting a patrol near the western border with Iraq.

This is the second patrol to be carried out in this area so far today.

Saudi Arabia claims one ballistic missile was shot down near Riyadh

Ansarallah claims to have shot down a Saudi CH-4 reconnaissance drone over the Al-Jawf Governorate of Yemen.

This is reportedly the fourth drone of this type to be intercepted since the new war began.

DTEK reports that Russia carried out 128 attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure in the last week.

I don't think you're the one who was dodging the bullet, you Redditor from hell 🤣🤣

Russian fibre-optic FPV drone strike on a train at the Sumy Railway Station.

Russia continued their large-scale Geran-2/4/5 drone attacks against Ukraine over the last 24 hours, using over 250 drones and S8000 Banderol cruise missiles to strike dozens of targets across Ukraine.

The targeted regions were similar to previous nights, with the heaviest attacks being carried out on Vinnytsia, Dnipropetrovsk, and Kyiv Oblasts. Some smaller attacks targeted Odesa, Zaporizhzhia, Poltava, and Kharkiv Oblasts.

The sheer number of posts with a similar format that are suddenly being made blindly regurgitating the Ukrainian government claims on Russian casualties makes me wonder if this is a coordinated propaganda campaign to mask other issues.

This all seems extremely unnatural, even for the pro-Ukraine info space.

Bloomberg reports that a recent U.S. intelligence assessment found that Iran is still producing around 50 ballistic missiles per month, despite months of U.S. and Israeli airstrikes.

This is half of what Iran was able to produce pre-war, and contradicts U.S. Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth's recent claims that 80% of Iran’s industrial base has been destroyed. Iran also still has a separate stockpile of components that can be used to assemble additional ballistic missiles.

This comes as the IRGC unveiled a new underground "missile city", containing new cruise missile variants, hypersonic ballistic missiles, and other related equipment.
