Since the missile attack, all 8 Tu-95s which were airborne and 1 of the Tu-160s landed at Engels-2 Airbase. The whereabouts of the other 3 Tu-160s is currently unknown. A few hours ago, 7 Tu-95s departed from Engels-2, and are redeploying to Ukrainka Airbase in Amur Oblast. The other Tu-95 and the Tu-160 have likely been equipped or are in the process of being equipped with Kh-101 cruise missiles, from the first IL-76MD which landed there 12 hours ago.
This also means that this is one of the rare instances where there are no strategic bombers stationed at Olenya Airbase in Murmansk Oblast.
Also, there was a fire at the "Crystal" Oil depot in Engels as a result of 2 Ukrainian UAV strikes, which supplies fuel to the Tu-95s, Tu-160s, Su-34s and Su-35s at Engels-2 Airbase.

Whoever was running this during the dementia patient’s term wasn’t nearly as reckless as whoever is running it in Trump’s term.
Uh — whut?
It’s just an Ilyushin..............
This aint gonna go on much longer.
Just hope it stays contained within thise two countries.
Did you think the Trump Administration was controlling Ukraine on this bombing? If so, you are mistaken.
Zelensky is free to go all out, as he sees fit, subject to confines of agreements. Trump has specifically said this week that Russia and Ukraine have some war to wage for a bit, because neither cares about stopping it.
Russia just used these same strategic bombers to attack Ukraine and somehow they are immune from being attacked in return? Sorry, but it does not work that way.
“The cargo likely consists of Kh-101 cruise missiles.”
I’m guessing that the US Deep State is now a lot less involved and that the the UK Deep State is a now a lot more involved.
Would this logic extend to NATO countries who supply Ukraine arms that strike Russia?
Meh. I hope Russia and Ukraine work this thing out - one way or another. I’ve got other fish to fry.
And so does the US.
I was thinking it was sandwiches and vodka.
No, I think the logic would be that Russia is free to attack any weapons used against within the territory of Ukraine.
Russia is free to attack any weapons that Ukraine is using. Ukraine and Russia are the two belligerents; NATO is not. Russia could prevent all attacks against itself by just ending the war in Ukraine and going home. It really amazes me how there are some who think that Russia can attack Ukraine with abandon but it is somehow illegitimate for Ukraine to his back.
Without the CIA and American real time intelligence, this could not be happening. You are foolish to think otherwise. Don’t you understand the significance of this? Can you imagine having to relocate the B2s at Whiteman AB in Missouri to Alaska because Russian sighted Cuban drones were destroying them?!? Trump, by his own admission, is oblivious to all of this!
“I just want the killing to end” is quickly becoming the “warp speed vaxx” of this term.
Linda Graham - and apparently Mike Pompeo - are still willing to help the DS/UKR intercourse going as long as their own asses are not really on the line. Said asses are apparently not on the line, won't be on the line, and won't ever even see the line, let alone come close to the line.
Logan Act? Whazzat?
So you are saying that Russia is bombing Ukraine in retaliation of Ukraine bombing Russia in retaliation of Russia bombing Ukraine.
Trump did not recognize a right to retaliation. He said Putin told him that he would bomb Ukraine.
How is Putin bombing Ukraine because Ukraine bombed Russia different than Putin bombing Ukraine because he wishes to conquer Ukraine?
Ukraine was bombed first so if there is your so called right to retaliate it belongs to Ukraine.
Well, if we didn’t start the war then you may have a point.
Ukraine has been attacking these same airplanes and same air bases since 2022, so what why all this new language and hysteria?
You’d be guessing wrong. Kellogg is the face of American/CIA policy.
The daughter of the US Special Representative for Ukraine Kellogg, who actively supports the Kiev regime, commented on the night strikes of the Russian Armed Forces, saying that “the Russians do not want peace”
“Russia wants you to believe that it is striking back, but the precise strikes against Ukraine were a response to Russia’s ruthless attacks on civilians and only happened after Putin refused to cease fire. All he wants is to continue the war and seize all of Ukraine,” she wrote.
After these lamentations from Kellogg’s daughter, who works for Ukraine, who can seriously take him as a mediator? A completely compromised ally of the Kyiv regime.
