An update for October 26th. #ukrdailyupdate

If you would like to view the map: map.ukrdailyupdate.com
In the Kupyansk area, Ukraine is attacking Kuzemivka (1). However, to my knowledge, their attacks to date have failed.
However, Ukraine has “advanced to” Dzherelne (2). I am not entirely sure what this means. Maybe Ukraine is actively attacking, possibly the town is contested, or perhaps it is liberated. Regardless, Russia seems rather upset about Ukraine being near this town.
The Kreminna area needs to be clarified. Russia claims to attack to the west, and perhaps they are, but Ukraine also appears to be advancing east, especially in the direction of Chervonopopivka.
Russia is attacking all over the Bakhmut area without success.
North of Bakhmut, they are attacking Bilohorivka (3), Soledar (4), and Bakhmutske (5).
They are attacking Bakhmut itself (6,7).
South of Bakhmut, they are attacking Ivanhrad and Opytne (8), Andriivka (9), and Kurdyumivka (10).
Russia is actively attacking in several directions in the general Donetsk area.
East of Avdiivka, they are attacking Kamyanka (11).
Around Pisky, they are attacking Vodyane (12), Pervomaiske (13), and Nevelske (14). I do not have anything to say about these attacks today, but I hope to say more tomorrow.
To the west of Donetsk, Russia is attacking Krasnohorivka (15), Marinka (16), and Novomykhailivka (17).

Due to the terrain, Russia cannot launch a strong attack on Krasnohorivka until they capture Pervomaiske and Nevelske.
Marinka is practically impossible to attack at this point due to 8 years of heavy shelling.

They have had little to no success attacking Novomykhailivka over the past several months.
Earlier today, I made a thread about Russian soldiers seizing houses and school buildings around Zaporizhzhia and Luhansk.
Here is an example of what happens when you don't maintain your artillery barrel.
And here is a thread about the situation around Svatove.

The American people said “we don’t like inflation!” and had a choice between two presidents.

Option A said their goal was to attack the source of inflation so the economic conditions that lead to rapid rise in costs wont happen again.

Option B said their plan was to increase inflation by at least 50%.

And America voted for option B.
You have to understand the consequences of your actions here. You had one political movement that wanted to shift focus away from corporations and onto the people. You may not have liked everything about the current state of that movement, but the movement existed.
And while it existed, you could have used your votes to influence it, and push it into the direction you liked. Maybe you like x and y but not z. You could influence that.

But instead, you voted for oligarchy.

Sources like warspotting and lostwar withhold losses from their counts when they are not clearly identifiable. Ukraine has pivoted to using heavy bomber drones to destroy vehicles, and posts tremendous numbers of losses per day using this method.
Due to thermals and top down view these losses are only very rarely counted. And when they are counted, it can be many months later when alternate footage appears.
In short, there is not a drop in documented losses, but the methodology used by the loss aggregators is highly conservative and struggles to deal with the types of footage available at the moment. And as a result will lag behind reality.

Kurt Company says they have killed 51 and wounded 57 Russians this month. These guys are situated near Kurdyumivka, and are repelling Russian assaults across the Severskyi Donets canal. I have personally seen about 25 of those 51 killed on video, and I've geolocated around 15. Image

Ukrainian positions in this area are very well designed, which contribute substantially to their ability to defend. We've seen Ukrainian defenses in other areas, often superior positions, with vastly inferior design and construction fall within minutes or hours.
The main difference you see here is that their firing positions are *above ground* with *interlocking fields of fire* and *trench systems that allow defenders to rapidly displace*. Image

btw, a huge fraction of the damage we see done every day is not done by fpv drones, it is done by drone dropped bombs. In particular, the heavy bombers like vampire, kazhan, and nemesis. The r18 is getting increasingly popular. And we see more avengers but those are very rare.
avenger is a fixed wing bomber that carriers, i think, 5.5kg payload. most commonly the loadout is either 2-4 medium sized bombs or like 5-8 smaller bombs that it drops as a carpet bombing type thing. It is hard to aim because it is a level bomber. A dive bomber would be better
A dive bomber dropping 5kg bombs would be pretty awesome, to be honest.
