STRIKE PACKAGE: @Euan_MacDonald reports that Tu-95 strategic bombers have sortied & are orbiting over the Caspian Sea. Tu-95s and Tu-160 bombers have taken off from Engels-2 air base in Russia, and four MiG-31Ks, possibly w/ Kinzhal hypersonic missiles, are over Bryansk, Russia.
Engels-2???
Here's a blast from the past (December 5th 2022) that happened at Engels-2.
Perhaps RU intel believes UKR is running low on TU-141 drones.
