As Iran continues targeting merchant vessels amid the ongoing West Asia conflict, this map catalogs ships linked to at least 36 such reported incidents since February 2026

✈️ With planes breaking down and repair hubs facing insolvency, the Russian military is navigating a full-blown airlift crisis. It needs to move materiel, but its own aircraft increasingly cannot. The solution? Civilian aviation. 🕵️ A new Dallas investigation reveals how the Russian MoD co-opts commercial operators and joint-use aerodromes to bridge its logistical collapse. Primary evidence exposes these "civilian" fleets: 🇨🇳 Moving military cargo to China for sanctioned defence contractors 🇺🇬 Routing electronics from Uganda to supply Almaz-Antey 🇮🇳 Evading oversight to transport missile systems & warheads to India Furthermore, the MoD is hiding military aircraft on the civilian registry to fly sensitive missions abroad disguised as ordinary commercial charters. 🔍 Read the full analysis here: dallas-analytics.com/russias…

🚨 ExpoElectronica 2026: how a Russian trade show enables sanctions evasion Dallas analyzed 719 participants of a major electronics exhibition in Moscow and uncovered a network supplying Western components to Russia – despite sanctions. Key findings: 📌 Russian importers continue sourcing electronics for the military-industrial complex; 📌 Chinese companies act as key intermediaries; 📌 Western components (such as Siemens) are routed via third-country intermediaries. Even small firms play a critical role in sustaining Russia’s access to dual-use electronics. ❗️Bottom line: sanctions on Russia alone are not enough without targeting foreign intermediaries. ExpoElectronica effectively serves as a ready-made database of potential sanctions violators. 🔎 Read the full investigation for details dallas-analytics.com/expoele…

🚨 On 31 March 2026, a Russian An-26 military transport crashed during a routine flight over occupied Crimea, killing all 29 people on board, including Lt. Gen. Aleksandr Otroshchenko, commander of the Northern Fleet’s Mixed Aviation Corps. 🕵️ Dallas obtained confidential internal documents suggesting this was not just an isolated accident, but part of a broader decline in Russia’s military aircraft maintenance infrastructure. According to Russia’s own officials, the system has been hollowed out by the war against Ukraine, strained by Western sanctions, and undermined by mismanagement at the highest levels. ✈️ Russia still relies on roughly 368 Antonov aircraft across its military and security services, including the An-12, An-26, and An-72. Of these, 143❗currently require repairs. Unless urgent measures are taken, within 18 to 24 months their operation will cease entirely. 📰 Our investigation examines Aviaremont JSC, part of Rostec, a key repair provider for Russia’s military aviation fleet. In December 2025, Aviaremont acknowledged that its subsidiary, 308 ARZ, could not properly service An-series aircraft due to missing design documentation, failed import substitution, and the lack of domestic production for critical spare parts. 🔍 Journalists, analysts, and researchers seeking further detail or access can reach out via our website form dallas-analytics.com/maintai…

It's been a while since I've done an update on how Russia's Shahed/Geran use is looking so buckle in, I'm gonna nerd out for a bit. March 2026 was the highest month since the start of the full-scale invasion for the reported use of OWA drones in overnight attacks - 6,462 drones were reported for the month.

🛢️ Dallas has obtained a secret drone defence plan from Rosneft – the source of about a third of Russia’s crude, led by Igor Sechin, a close ally of Vladimir Putin. 📄 The document is both a confession and a roadmap: a confession that Russia’s largest oil company cannot fully protect its refineries, and a roadmap revealing just how fragile those systems really are. 🔍 It maps the security layers Ukrainian forces may face – and serves as a cautionary study for Gulf states on what fails against evolving drone threats. dallas-analytics.com/inside-…

Iran update for evening 10th March 2026 Our account seems to be going nowhere. I can't tell if it's just because it's new, it just isn't getting reach, or you all find it rubbish. Can we ask you to share this if you get it and find the information useful? Continued strikes on regime and police headquarters and stations across the country, setting that stage up continues. High res footage of Isfahan airbase shows pinpoint destruction of F-14s and Chengdu F-7s Centcom releases footage of many strikes on vessels dotted around Iran. There's little to go on, so we haven't geolocated most, but did add a sub. Garrisons/barracks continue to be hit too. We estimate the regime death toll to be in the low 5 figures. Epicfurymap.com

NEW @CSIS REPORT (A thread⬇️) The Yelabuga UAV Factory in Russia is a real-world example of the deepening collaboration between the so-called CRINK countries of China, Russia, Iran and North Korea. The factory allegedly uses: - Iranian designs & tech - Chinese dual-use components, supply chains and logistics - North Korean labor Since late 2021, it has expanded from two buildings under construction to a 17-facility complex comprising up to 116 buildings, encompassing over 2,820,000 square meters of space (2,82 km2), and 67 finished housing units that could house approximately 20,000 workers.
