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

Situation note

  • Last 7 days: 90 geolocated images, about 99 once late geolocations arrive; down 39% on the previous 7 days.
  • Tomorrow (Fri, Nov 6, 2026): about 18 images expected, between 1 and 29 on an ordinary day.
  • Most likely sectors within 7 days: Slovyansk (Ukraine) (64 %), Kyiv (Ukraine) (61 %), Kostyantynivka (Ukraine) (54 %).
  • Most filmed units this week: 3rd Special Operations Detachment (10), Hornets of the 3rd Special Operations Regiment (10), Special Operations Center "East" (10).
  • Most seen equipment this week: Fixed Wing OWAD (One Way Attack Drone) (17), FPV (First Person View) OWAD (One Way Attack Drone) (14), Semi-Truck (6).
  • Footage comes first from “X account (OSINT, individual)” accounts (90 % of main sources), ahead of “Telegram channel (blogger, aggregator)” (4 %).
  • Reliability measured over 24 past days: 7 of the 10 sectors announced were filmed within 7 days, against 4 for the “same as yesterday” rule. 42 % 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.
