    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.

    Russia has launched a huge attack on Ukraine's energy infrastructure, which authorities said was the twelfth large-scale attack on energy facilities this year. Russia said the attack was in response to a Ukrainian strike on a military airbase in south-west Russia using US-made missiles, which US President-elect Donald Trump described as "crazy". In an interview with Time magazine on Thursday, to mark being named Person of the Year, Trump said he disagreed "very vehemently" with American made missiles targeting sites in Russia. "We're just escalating this war and making it worse," he said.
