Choking down wells because of lack of sales is one thing but if wells are completely shut in they will have to be reworked to flow again after sanding up due lack of flow. Because of Covid shutdowns, the US lost over 2 million barrels per day forever due cost to rework stripper wells vs revenue.

One would hope Ukraine has abandoned myrnohrad because if not they would appear well and truly fricked now

What we have learned so far:
The age of tanks and heavy artillery is coming to an end, drones are the new weapon of choice.
Russia is a complete paper tiger, and basically almost all their weapons are shite.
Chinese aren’t very good fighters either.
Despite all the shite on here the Ukrainians are good fighters and resourceful mfers.
Some missile systems and weapons are bad arse and performing much better than we thought. Some are not.
This war is Putin’s Folley. It may bury him but it definitely hasn’t made them stronger.
This war can go on forever.
No one is using nukes

Explosions were heard in the town of Volgorechensk in Russia's Kostroma Oblast overnight following a drone strike on the Kostroma Power Station, the third largest thermal power station in Russia.

The Kostroma Power Station is located on the right bank of the Volga River in the town of Volgorechensk, about 350 kilometres from Moscow. Its total installed capacity is around 3,600 MW, making it one of the key plants in Russia's energy system.
The facility consists of several power units ranging from 300 to 1,200 megawatts and its chimney, over 320 metres tall, is among the highest in Europe.

Our numbers this month, and a few words about mapping the war in Ukraine currently.
The trend of Russians gaining roughly 400-500 km2 per month continues. Last month, most of the land was lost in the Dnipropetrovsk-Eastern Zaporizhzhia direction. Even though the Russians advanced, they did it in a less operationally significant area.
In some areas, the developments on the front are increasingly difficult to map, as the frontline isn't actually a coherent defensive line anymore. The gray zone is expanding in all directions.
Singular geolocations of Russians in a certain place, even if they're waving flags, doesn't automatically mean that the area is under their control. Satellite images may not help as much as they previously did, and the information space is filled with conflicting narratives, even from milbloggers with claimed contacts to the front.
Sometimes even soldiers on the ground may not have the best understanding of every new development in each village, especially outside their area of responsibility. It's understandable, as often keeping track of small situational details may not be relevant to their job. Acquiring comprehensive information from the front depends a lot on who you're talking to.
The Pokrovsk-Dobropillia-direction and Kupiansk are examples of the most difficult areas from a mapping point of view. Troops are often mixed in the gray zone and small groups can still hold singular positions behind the assessed level of Russian control.
This means we can still track trends effectively and provide a proper map of the general situation. However, precisely stating who controls which microdistrict in a large urban battle, for example, is generally not possible. This is, of course, the issue with every other map project too.

These birds are extremely lucky to be still breathing and able to contact their government. When said government sees that they will have to pay off their contracts to the Russians to get them out, the extraction process will slow down substantially. Which Minister will allow this amount to be deducted from his/her budget? In the ANC, budgeted funds don't belong to the Ministry, they belong to the Minister.

Drones have a place but in this war are poor man's artillery and poor man's air power.

Interesting development as it looks like Ukraine forces are pushing back some in Pokrovsk. Might be a little too late but the fight for the city doesn't seem to be over yet.

Russia apparently hit an awards ceremony for elite Ukrainian soldiers and drone operators with an Iskander. A Ukrainian soldier thinks they were betrayed by someone who gave up the location of the ceremony. Thankfully it hit about 15 minutes before it started, so it wasn't as bad as it could have been. Everyone was kind of off to the side at the time, still a few casualties.

Someone should let them know that Pokrovsk isn't important, I don't think they've gotten the info from TigerDroppings High Command.

Yea, I mean its position is important based on where it sits but that's about it.
Posted on 11/6/25 at 10:37 am to VolSquatch
It had a great deal of importance over year ago, but much less today. Over the last year it has been important as a graveyard for Russians

It WAS a logistical supply hub, but is no longer the case.
