The Russians strengthen the Angels military airfield after the drone attack (photo)

Satellite images show that most bombers have moved the Russian military to another place, and additional barrier protection was built on the air base. After the Ukrainian drone at the end of December attacked a strategic airbase in Engels (Saratov region, Russian Federation), the Russians significantly strengthened it and removed from there most of capable aircraft. This is confirmed by the Planet Labs satellite images that published "Schemes". The pictures are taken on Saturday, January 7.

One of them shows that as of December 6, only six aircraft were based. These are four TU-95 and two Tu-160. These bombers of strategic aviation of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are used to launch missiles that attack the critical infrastructure of Ukraine. At the same time, if you look at the pictures taken on December 6, you can see that there were much more aircraft on the air base. About 20 bombers were based there.

The satellite also recorded that on January 7, the Tu-95 was in a semi-disposal, IL-76 transport aircraft and Tu-154 passenger aircraft. In addition, satellite images clearly show that the Russian military, along with the runway in the eastern part of the airfield, was erected barriers that should protect the planes from the fragments of explosive devices. We will remind, in the Russian city of Engels on the night of December 26 explosions.
