The Duma is reviewing a bill to extend the mandatory retirement age for Marshals, Army Generals, and Fleet Admirals from 65 to 70. This would mean officers of this rank (e.g. Gerasimov) could sign a new contract before the age of 70

Russian equipment from the 41st Combined Arms Army stationed at Pogonovo is being moved out. The big question is where to.

Elements of the 41st CAA are still present at Pogonovo. They include three BTGs , an air defence battalion, and two artillery and one missile battalions. Pogonovo is officially taking part in Zapad, so it remains to be seen if these units will soon be activated.

During August, I estimate that approx 250 MBTs and 200 IFVs went missing from the large Russian Army storage base near Kamensk-Shakhtinsky.

The big question is where did it go?

Sentinel-1 SAR-imagery from August 2nd and 31st.
Google Earth imagery of the equipment from April.

250 MBTs? Like 2 tankbrigades? Is that possible to hide in the 21st century?

В рамках плана мероприятий боевой подготовки Балтийского флота расчеты береговых ракетных комплексов «Бал» Ленинградской военно-морской базы принимают участие в плановом тактическом учении по нанесению ракетного удара по кораблям условного противника.

С ракетчиками на побережье Финского залива проводятся занятия по тактической, технической и специальной подготовке с целью совершенствования навыков при выполнении задач по обнаружению надводных целей, выдаче целеуказаний при нанесении условных ракетных ударов в различных условиях обстановки.

Экипажи стартовых батарей ракетных комплексов «Бал» отрабатывают способы размещения техники на различных позициях, выполняя задачи по выходу, развёртыванию, смене боевого порядка и местоположения после применения оружия.

В учебных мероприятиях задействовано более 50 военнослужащих и 10 единиц военной и специальной техники, включая мобильные береговые комплексы разведки морской и воздушной обстановки.

Особенностью берегового ракетного комплекса «Бал» является его высокая мобильность, быстрая смена позиции и готовность к применению ракетного оружия в короткие сроки. Комплекс «Бал» способен поражать цели на расстоянии до 120 километров в любое время суток и при самых неблагоприятных погодных условиях, пусковые установки могут размещаться на скрытых позициях на удалении до 10 км от берега.

Russian Air force trains its IL-76 transport aircraft crews in bombing and strafing ground targets.

Planes are fitted with "dumb" bombs and twin 23mm cannons in the tail.

It appears that Voronezh Maslovka railway station is again packed with the Russian military equipment, just like in April.

Comms vehicles, 2S19 Msta-S SPGs on wagons, BMPs, MT-LB armored vehicles and more.

Танки прут сотнями в сторону Украины, зафиксированы сегодня на камеру в Курске. Эшелоны с танкам и прочей боевой техникой в огромном количестве снялись с мест дислокации и начали движение в сторону предполагаемой линии фронта.

A video, said to be filmed on October 27 in the Bryansk Oblast, of Iskander tactical missile systems on the move (presumably 442th Missile Brigade from Kursk).

Sentinel-1 SAR-imagery of the 80th MRB garrison in Alakurtti at 0424z this morning, and yesterday at 0431z.

Compared to yesterday (and rest of the week) it is appears that significant amounts equipment is now missing from the vehicle parks.

Sentinel-1 SAR-imagery of Yelnya this morning (October 31st) shows significant changes since the 26th.

A new parking area has been filled, and the original has been expanded. Main parking area now 900m long.

This is a serious concentration of Russian Army units and equipment.

Sentinel-1 SAR-imagery of the 80th MRB garrison in Alakurtti, at 1533z yesterday October 30th.

This imagery confirms that elements of the brigade has left garrison. Additional logistics vehicles appears have left since Friday morning.

Another Russian tank train, this time in Saint Petersburg.
What makes this one interesting is the composition of the unit. I haven't often seen a T-90 unit augmented with old T-72B1:s.

Some old T-72B tanks, some with ATGM/loitering munition roof screens, on the move reportedly in Krasnodar.

Some thoughts on Russian situation at the moment:
- #Russia is ramping up propaganda and aggression against Ukraine
- lots of military movement, despite a nationwide lockdown for the next week
- lockdown will make movements harder to observe
- protest will be impossible
= Danger?

Ukraine's Defence Intelligence said they haven't recorded any additional transfer of Russian troops or equipment near their borders. They suggested these movements are normal after training exercises.
