Ukrainian drones reportedly struck a Tu-22M3 strategic bomber at the "Olenya" airfield, located 1,800 km from Ukraine's border, according to sources cited by UP.

Do these drones have terminal guidance?

My guess is Ukraine target intel gets GPS coordinates of parked aircraft from satellite photos and attack the target coordinates.

The above link has a video of the crash site.

Debris is scattered over a large area.

This indicates that the aircraft was flying in a shallow descent at ground impact.

My guess is the aircraft had an engine fire or overheat condition.

The aircrew determined they could not reach a divert airfield so they ejected.
