Ground footage forecast

Where footage will likely be geolocated tomorrow and the following days, based on the last 4 weeks. With reliability measured on past days, filmed units and posting accounts.

Tomorrow · Nov 6 3 days · Nov 6 → Nov 8 7 days · Nov 6 → Nov 12

Situation note

  • Last 7 days: 6 geolocated images, about 7 once late geolocations arrive; stable on the previous 7 days.
  • Tomorrow (Fri, Nov 6, 2026): about 1 images expected, between 0 and 3 on an ordinary day.
  • Most likely sectors within 7 days: Addis Ababa (Ethiopia) (15 %), Kubinka-60 (Russian Federation) (15 %), Sali (Sudan) (15 %).
  • Most filmed units this week: Sudan Armed Forces (2), FANO (1), Malian Armed Forces (FAMa) (1).
  • Most seen equipment this week: Pick-up (1), (Multi-Purpose) Bomber UAV (1).
  • Reliability measured over 24 past days: 1 of the 10 sectors announced were filmed within 7 days, against 0 for the “same as yesterday” rule. 88 % of images fall in a sector with no image in the previous 4 weeks: nothing can announce those.

This forecasts footage, not fighting: what GeoConfirmed volunteers will geolocate, based on what they already have. A sector without network or witnesses stays silent, and no past figure announces a new offensive.
