The Pokrovsk axis marker described the city as a hub whose loss "would" complicate Ukraine's Donbas position; Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad were in fact reported captured by Russian forces in early 2026. The record now reflects the reported capture and the shift of fighting to the axes west and north of the city.

Found during the July 2026 source-quality audit; the record predated the site's verified weekly reporting.

Formation, branch, actor and equipment records that cited only broad source categories now additionally cite the specific references that document their structural claims (IISS Military Balance, MilitaryLand.net), and generic "official statements" citations were narrowed to the specific claimant (Ukrainian military statements / Russian MoD statements) where the claimant is unambiguous.

The Azov record was renamed to its current designation (12th Special Forces Brigade "Azov") and placed under the National Guard's 1st Corps "Azov" (2025), with predecessor lineage recorded back to the 2014 volunteer battalion.

Record id and URL unchanged.

KRAKEN 1654 (previously listed as "Kraken" under the National Guard) was re-grouped under intelligence-linked formations, reflecting its documented 2022 military-intelligence origin. Its current formal subordination is publicly contested and remains marked disputed pending source review; it has not been assigned to the 3rd Army Corps.

Russian Naval Infantry was shown directly under the Armed Forces of Russia; it is now correctly placed as a component of the Russian Navy, which has been added as a branch record.

2026-07-11Force Atlas

The collapsed "Navy & Naval Infantry" node was split: the Navy record now covers the fleet arm, and the Marine Corps has its own record as a structurally distinct branch established in 2023.

Record id and URL unchanged; the Marine Corps record is new.

The Aerospace Forces (VKS) record, previously a single flat branch, now carries its umbrella structure: Air Force, Air & Missile Defence Forces and Space Forces.

2026-07-11Force Atlas

The Wagner-successor record is now titled "Wagner Group → Africa Corps" and carries machine-readable lineage (formed 2014, reorganised 2023 under Ministry of Defence control) instead of presenting the organisation as institutionally unchanged.

Record id and URL unchanged.
