This is an update for October 27th. #ukrdailyupdate

If you would like to view the map: map.ukrdailyupdate.com

This will probably be short, not much happened.
In the Kupyansk/Svatove area, Ukraine performed a few minor attacks and both sides fired some artillery. Ukrainian artillery focused on the northern side, Russian on the southern side.
Of note in this area, Popivka (near Svatove, too small to have a name at this level of zoom) has taken heavy damage from Ukrainian (and Russian) shelling. Locals fled the town, and report large Russian losses. Several dozen dead.
In the Siversk area, Russia tried to break through the Ukrainian lines near Bilohorivka. They failed to do so.
Russia attacked all the standard areas in the Bakhmut area.
Russia attacked west from Donetsk. Especially Nevelske (I drew white box around it), which is a very small town. The town has been completely destroyed by artillery.
In the south, Ukraine attacked Kostyantynivka and Pyatykhatky without any changes.

No attack anywhere today, Ukrainian or Russian, had any notable success to my knowledge.

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.
