It has begun, UAZ canceled the camping version of the Bukhanka. Supposedly they will return to building it in February 2026 when parts are again available but for a while there's been talk of a possible full cancellation of the Bukhanka as a whole.

The story itself should speak about how dire the situation is for Russian transport aviation but this quote from the article says it all. They have only 1 simulator for the Il-76. ONE, for all possible pilots.

Map of Utilities outages in Russia for the week 10th to the 16th of November. This week outages are much much higher than the prior week. Expect a graph to come to compare weeks with prior years from next Sunday.

There's a new explanation for an entire chain of gas stations in Novosibirsk not having fuel. It's because they're about to rebrand as Teboil from Nafta24. The rebranding seems to only be about gasoline though...

Here's an article that goes in depth into the failure of Russian air defense to stop drone attacks on refineries. It turns out they are more focused on reporting how many bullets they spent than how much of the refinery was protected.

Because people wonder if the shortages of fuel persist in Russia here's an example from Ulyanovsk region from the city itself with Lukoil gas stations and independent ones not having gasoline when the local news team inspected them. Issues persist.

I don't use ad block when I browse Russian media sites because the ads can tell you interesting things like how to scam EU governments for Visas or as is the case today what the "open positions with Elon Musk" are.

In Yekaterinburg locals are complaining to media that they are driving in circles looking for Ai-95 gasoline. And there's none even at Gazprom, Lukoil and Rosneft gas stations because fuel depots are empty.

The Russian oil tax for October is slightly above September but below August. Not as bad as June or May but still bad overall.

This is probably due to in August military vehicles were up 62,2% vs 6% in September, guidance systems up 12% vs 18,4 in September and munitions and this is a big one 21,2% up vs down 1,6% in September.
