Russia’s T-90 tank production in 2024 reached around 240 units, including both new and modernized tanks. But internal planning papers analyzed by Frontelligence Insight show Moscow’s plan to lift output by 80% and launch production of a new T90 variant. 🧵Our Special Report:

Our exclusive report on Russia’s tank production is out. Using internal files and state contracts, we show production plans for the next decade and current output. A short thread will follow soon, but for now, you can read the report frontelligence.substack.com/p/exclusive-inside-russias-20262036

Another resident of Leningrad Oblast, Russia’s so-called cultural capital, filmed the highly successful aftermath of a Ukrainian drone strike on Kirishinefteorgsintez, narrating the fire show in a truly colorful display of Russian expletives. Warning: Mature Language

During a Ukrainian drone strike on one of Russia’s largest refineries, a local woman filmed herself delivering highly intellectual commentary on the chaos unfolding in the sky, with a total lack of self-reflection and an inability to connect cause and effect (Subtitles in English included)

The appearance of a Ukrainian drone in Russian airspace has sparked a heated debate among local experts over how to classify the flying object - in the finest OSINT community spirit on the X platform

A Ukrainian one-way drone casually cruises thousands of kilometers from the border, over a Russian refinery in Orenburg Oblast, projecting full confidence and dominance. Terrified guards fire a few weak shots, all misses, proving utterly useless.

Russia is exploiting economic struggles in developing nations, luring thousands of Africans with promises of escaping poverty - only for many to end up KIA or missing. Key findings from Frontelligence Insight’s analysis of unique mercenary records in Africa and the Middle East:

Russia’s military rearmament, especially weapon production numbers, reveals much about its future plans. These numbers are usually hidden in classified documents, a problem Frontelligence Insight, with help from insiders, has solved. For the first time, we can share some of them:

Our research, based on tens of thousands of personal records, shows that desertion rates in the Russian army have doubled in 2025 compared with 2024. If the trend continues, we estimate at least 70,000 deserters this year - roughly 10% of the entire force deployed in Ukraine:

Ukrainians keep hitting Russia’s oil sector, striking 1 refinery and 2 pumping stations this morning alone. Since August, there have been more than 30 hits on refineries and depots. Desertion rates have doubled, and Z-influencers are unhappy. Russia’s situation will get worse.

At least five 9T250 transloaders and 1 Iskander launcher were destroyed in early August on the grounds of a poultry farm in Shumakovo, Kursk oblast. The Frontelligence Insight found the strike took place between Aug 8 - Aug 13, rather than later in the month as first reported

Another successful Ukrainian drone strike hit the Salavat Petrochemical Plant, according to photos and videos shared on the Telegram channels Exilnova Plus and Supernova Plus. Quick geolocation analysis indicates the fire broke out in one of the plant’s main oil-processing units

Without tangible policy shifts, real changes in aid, or the enforcement of sanctions, it’s nothing more than talk - a position that could shift tomorrow or next month again, after Putin’s next call or another “strategic” visit from Witkoff. What matters are actions, not words.

Trump: We stopped the conflict between Cambodia and Armenia. I am honored to be alive during the first Indo-Caucasian war Miraculous times indeed

I am not American, but I do care about what happens in the US. As the financial, cultural, and political center, and the foundation of the international system, it sets trends worldwide. I am concerned about the effects this may have in Europe and Asia, and about what kind of “era”we are entering
