Orders decline" is laughable. The truth is this tank manufacturor has not and is not being paid.
The truth is that the decline is entirely among the civilian division of the company. There's been a complete collapse in orders of railway cars— which shows tremendous weakness in the Russian economy and is a huge problem for Russia, but it's a very different problem from the one implied in the tweet, which suggests a decline in orders of tanks. There is no decline in orders of tanks, nor would there be a decline in production of tanks.

ISW reports fighting going on still in Pokrovsk as Russian units try to reinforce their gains.
ISW 11/6/25

Key Takeaways
The Russian military command is reportedly augmenting its troop presence in the Pokrovsk direction, likely to consolidate the gains Russian forces initially secured through infiltration missions and advance further through the town.
Russian forces are intensifying their battlefield air interdiction (BAI) campaign against Ukrainian railway infrastructure, seeking to disrupt Ukrainian rear logistics hubs to erode frontline forces and eventually facilitate frontline gains.
NATO General Secretary Mark Rutte noted on November 5 how the term “hybrid warfare” inaccurately describes Russia’s intensified attacks and malign actions against NATO — in line with ISW’s ongoing assessment. Authorities reported an unidentified drone incursion near the Hannover airport in Germany on the evening of November 5. Russian President Vladimir Putin continues to emphasize the multiethnic and multireligious nature of the Russian Federation and reject efforts by Russian ultranationalists to frame Russia as an exclusively Orthodox Christian and ethnically Russian nation.
The Kremlin continues to spread narratives about alleged Western provocations to create the appearance of external and internal enemies who aim to undermine the Russian state.
Russia continues to develop its modernization and refurbishment programs of older, lower quality tanks, likely for the battlefield in Ukraine where Russia’s tank use is limited. Russian forces advanced in northern Kharkiv Oblast, in the Kostyantynivka-Druzhkivka tactical area, and near Siversk and Pokrovsk.

Ukraine secures 25-year deal for regular US gas supplies
Artur Kryzhnyi — 7 November, 19:28
Ukraine has signed a memorandum with the Greek company Atlantic-see LNG Trade on regular deliveries of US liquefied natural gas (LNG) through Greece's gas terminals.
Source: Serhii Koretskyi, CEO of Naftogaz Group, Ukraine's largest national oil and gas company
Quote: "The agreement provides for regular supplies of US gas to Ukraine via Greece's gas terminals and the Vertical Corridor."
Details: Koretskyi said the partnership is expected to continue until 2050.
He believes the memorandum will secure stable LNG supplies for Ukraine and integrate its infrastructure into the European logistics route.
In addition, the arrangement will set up a sustainable system for the supply and storage of American gas.
Background: It was reported that President Volodymyr Zelenskyy planned to ask for gas supplies and air defence systems during his meeting with US President Donald Trump on 17 October.

Meanwhile for over a decade, Orban has blocked building a pipeline from the Adriatic to Hungary.

Yet Hungary is not fully dependant on Russian oil, they can be easily supplied through the Adriatic Adria-Friendship pipeline.
So why insist on Russian crude? Putin and his puppet TACO will do anything to avoid Orban losing the election in April. Plus the money. Orban gets no commission on crude delivered via the Adriatic.

Hungary’s largest oil and gas company MOL said Friday [Nov. 9] it could source most of its crude from outside Russia if flows through the Druzhba pipeline were disrupted, in what was described as a shift from the previous stance that Russian supplies could not be avoided.
“Should the crude flows via the Druzhba pipeline drop significantly, MOL can increase its utilization of the Adriatic pipeline and supply [about] 80% of its landlocked refineries’ intake,” the company said in its third-quarter earnings report.
The Adriatic pipeline enables Hungary to import crude by sea and then sends that oil inland by pipeline to refineries across Central and Eastern Europe. Bloomberg described the statement as a “pivot” from months of messaging by Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and MOL that Hungary’s refineries were fully dependent on Russian crude.

Did you know how many Shahed launch sites Russia has? Three? Five? In reality — over 26, but 95% of all attacks come from just 16 main hubs stretching from Crimea to Smolensk. Each site functions as part of a coordinated “Shahed belt” designed to cover every direction of Ukrainian airspace.
- Primorsko-Akhtarsk (Krasnodar region) — main southern hub. Fixed launch rails, drone shelters, warehouses for hundreds of Shaheds. Over 300 waves recorded. After Ukraine’s August 2025 strike that caused a 10 km smoke column, it was rebuilt within a month.
- Chauda (Crimea) — coastal range near Feodosia. Launch time to southern Ukraine: 40–60 minutes. Over 160 launches logged. SBU strikes caused fires and explosions, forcing Russians to hide PUs in ravines and forest lines.
- Kacha (west Crimea) — new site (since September 2025). Mobile launchers for up to 14 drones simultaneously. Targets Odesa and Mykolaiv. OSINT shows reinforced pads and camouflaged shelters.
- Orel (Tsymbulovo field, Oryol region) — “droneport” for central and western strikes. Connected directly to the Yelabuga factory (5,000+ drones/month). Satellite images show ~100 Shaheds parked in August 2025.
- Bryansk (Bryansk region) — mobile and fixed PUs just 35 km from Ukraine. Underground bunkers for warheads; fast deployment. New reinforced shelters appeared in September 2025.
- Kursk (Khalino airfield) — 100 km from the front line. Equipped with launch rails, warehouses, and logistics. Damaged by Ukrainian strikes, partially restored.
- Millerovo (Rostov region) — eastern coordination center. Over 100 drone PUs, often launching jointly with Primorsko-Akhtarsk. After Ukrainian strikes on logistics, output dropped 30%.
- Donetsk (occupied Donbas) — once held over 1,000 drones. On Nov 4, 2025, Ukraine’s SSO destroyed key facilities in a precision raid. Remaining assets moved to Berdyansk.
- Yeysk (Krasnodar) — both training and combat hub. 20–30 Shaheds launched weekly. Damaged in July 2025 by a strike on hangars.
- Hvardiyske (Crimea) — covers central and southern directions. In June 2025, 107 drones launched in a single night toward Zaporizhzhia.
- Berdyansk (occupied Zaporizhzhia) — now main front-line base after Donetsk losses. 50+ launches monthly. OSINT shows expansion in October.
- Shakhty (Rostov region) — new site since October 2025 with fixed pads and underground depots. First waves targeted Kharkiv.
- Shatalovo (Smolensk) — northern long-range hub. March 2025: 172 drones launched toward Kyiv and Chernihiv; later restored after being hit.
- Syescha (Bryansk) — training site with 30–40 weekly launches.
- Navlya (Bryansk) — 75 km from Ukraine. Three underground warhead bunkers, heavy logistics. Active since October 2025.
- Azovskaya (Oryol) — mobile launch sites in fields, supporting Orel operations. Secondary sites (˜4% of total) rely on mobile truck-based launchers, including Tsymbulovo field camp (100 drones), Soltsy test range (Novgorod), Ivanovo-Severny droneport, M6 highway near Morshansk, and Krasne forest near Simferopol.
Satellite data shows 11 new sites under construction along the border — including Asovitsa in Bryansk (35 km from Ukraine) and expanded facilities at Tsymbulovo.
Every new launch site adds pressure — and every expansion is one more reason for the world to lift restrictions on deep strikes.

Russia is continuing their efforts to take Pokrovsk by shoring up their logistics and bringing in reinforcements to supplement the initial invaders.
quote] Key Takeaways
Russian forces continue to advance in the Pokrovsk direction and are reportedly extending logistics to southern Pokrovsk. Layoffs at Russia’s primary tank manufacturer, Uralvagonzavod (UVZ), indicate that Russia may be struggling to balance civilian and defense industrial needs as economic restrictions increasingly degrade Russia’s economic performance.
The Ukrainian defense industrial base (DIB) continues efforts to develop local arms production and export capabilities.
European authorities continue to report unidentified drone incursions into NATO airspace.
Russian forces advanced in the Kostyantynivka-Druzhkivka tactical area and near Lyman, Pokrovsk, Novopavlivka, and Hulyaipole.[/quote]

Surely all Ukrainians have withdrawn from Myrnohrad. You would hope for their sake because there is no longer any way out. For all intents and purposes, the year-long battle for the Pokrovsk agglomeration has now all but come to a close.
