Russia Is Losing Control All Across the Front

Drone fundraiser for the 52nd: https://dzygaspaw.com/preston-stewart-for-forge?project=Preston%20for%20FORGERussia just tried an armored assault into one of the most heavily defended areas of the front and as expected, it looks like most of them died. In fact this attack gives us a pretty good look at where the grey zone is along the front and what that actually means.

Unmanned Ground Vehicles have taken center stage in Ukraine. We’ve seen UGVs hauling supplies to the front and evacuating the wounded but they’re even being used in more and more offensive capacities as well.Today we're talking with three members of the Ukrainian 93rd Mechanized Brigade. Taras is from the 3rd battalion and Mike and Andrii are with Alter Ego, their dedicated UGV battalion. This interview is part of a fundraiser through Ukraine Aid Operations and Brave Selections where we’re supporting the entire 93rd Brigade. You can learn more about those campaigns at the links below.https://ukraineaidops.org/blogs/fundraising-campaigns/preston-x-uaohttps://artwine.com/Substack: https://prestonstew.substack.com/Store: https://prestonstew.shop/Defense Tech News:https://www.defensetechnews.io/https://www.youtube.com/@DefenseTechnologyNewsContact: [email protected] Learn more about your ad choices.

See if your SSN is for sale right now: https://cloaked.com/prestonstewart My sponsor, Cloaked, will tell you for free in 2 seconds.Russian casualties in Ukraine are spiking because they’re tripling the number of attacks in some areas. It’s not rocket science. There’s a Ukrainian drone wall that is spotting and eliminating Russian soldiers all day every day. Feeding more men into that meat grinder without any noticeable change in tactics or operational support means one thing. More Russians aren’t coming home.In fact it seems like Russia is starting to accept this war cannot be won on the battlefield which is something to keep in mind as a new round of negotiations kicked off earlier today.

Turns out they didn’t.And those drones are inflicting massive casualties right now. One Ukrainian unit just set a record of 708 Russian soldiers killed or seriously wounded on November 1st. But that only held for a few days, on Nov 5th they reached 751. I’m not sure people understand just how bad of a situation the Russian military is in at the front.Ghost drones: https://t.me/usf_army/2599NC13 Video: https://t.me/NC_13company/680Sources:https://t.me/roy_tv_mk/22801https://t.me/robert_magyar/2963https://t.me/milinfolive/182734Substack: https://prestonstew.substack.com/Store: https://prestonstew.shop/Defense Tech News:https://www.defensetechnews.io/https://www.youtube.com/@DefenseTechnologyNewsContact: [email protected] Learn more about your ad choices.

In fact, according to new Russian data, they’re on track to take the rest of Donetsk in roughly 31 years. In fact, things are going so well, they just arrested one of the few Russian reporters that’s been brave enough to actually push back on some of these more ridiculous claims.Sources:https://t.me/rybar_in_english/35550https://t.me/creamy_caprice/13382?https://understandingwar.org/research/russia-ukraine/russian-offensive-campaign-assessment-october-16-2026/https://t.me/swodki/632159https://map.ukrdailyupdate.com/?lat=48.821000&lng=33.014000&z=7&d=20760&c=1&l=0https://x.com/alexsalvinewsSubstack: https://prestonstew.substack.com/Store: https://prestonstew.shop/Defense Tech News:https://www.defensetechnews.io/https://www.youtube.com/@DefenseTechnologyNewsContact: [email protected] Learn more about your ad choices.

In fact this week saw one of the deadliest attacks of the war where a Russian double-tap strike killed over 40 civilians gathered at an aid distribution center. The second attack came after the first responders showed up, killing six more.While Russian attacks on civilian targets isn’t anything new, it’s rapidly increasing having tripled between June and September of this year. That’s what happens when their military can’t advance.Sources:https://www.economist.com/interactive/graphic-detail/2026/10/30/stalled-on-the-front-lines-russia-hits-ukraine-harderhttps://kyivindependent.com/death-toll-from-russian-attack-on-komyshuvakha-rises-to-37-as-search-operation-enters-3rd-day/https://www.nytimes.com/2026/11/03/world/europe/komyshuvakha-zaporizhzhia-attack-ukraine.htmlhttps://www.reuters.com/world/ukraines-zelenskiy-russian-bombing-kills-18-southeastern-zaporizhzhia-region-2026-11-02/https://t.me/V_Zelenskiy_official/21601https://t.me/milinfolive/182658https://t.me/rybar_in_english/35508https://t.me/creamy_caprice/13382https://t.me/azov_brigade_ngu/2027https://t.me/dva_majors/101510Substack: https://prestonstew.substack.com/Store: https://prestonstew.shop/Defense Tech News:https://www.defensetechnews.io/https://www.youtube.com/@DefenseTechnologyNewsContact: [email protected] Learn more about your ad choices.

Turns out the US has been secretly striking Iran for weeks with the most recent round of attacks targeting missile launchers and air defense sites just last night. We also just got a report that Israel has warned the US that Iran is preparing to use chemical weapons in what they say is a more urgent threat than their nuclear program. Worth mentioning right away that our Gulf allies have voiced skepticism, suggesting this may be a ploy to pull the US back into war.Sources:https://www.wsj.com/world/middle-east/u-s-strikes-irans-qeshm-island-as-trump-talks-down-war-risks-79d73d3d?mod=hp_lead_pos2https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2026/11/02/us-forces-launch-new-defensive-strikes-iran-eve-election/https://www.nytimes.com/2026/11/03/world/middleeast/iran-chemical-weapons-israel-trump.htmlhttps://t.me/mehrnews/428375https://www.ukmto.org/ukmto-products/warnings/2026https://x.com/AaronBMacLean/status/2116854934113292584?a=36K9soR2b45K46gXcOM&s=20Substack: https://prestonstew.substack.com/Store: https://prestonstew.shop/Defense Tech News:https://www.defensetechnews.io/https://www.youtube.com/@DefenseTechnologyNewsContact: [email protected] Learn more about your ad choices.
