The Russian Federation "Crossed" 42 TU-22M3 aircraft 4000 km from Ukraine: what Russians plan-analysts (photos)

To spread: The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation moved 80% of the TU-22M3 strategic bombers to the Far East for two days. The planes were assembled at a military air base in the Irkutsk region. In addition, there were other strategic bombers used for blows in Ukraine. The possible cause of such activity - the new plans of the enemy, analysts wrote. The planes used for Russian strikes in Ukraine and why they were so far away were told on the Defense Express portal.

The portal drew attention to the OSINT Analytical post with Nick AVI Vector. On May 7, on the social network X AVI Vector posted the satellite photos of the Russian military aircraft "Belaya" in Irkutskaya Oblap. It turned out that the air base suddenly appeared 56 strategic bombers: 42-TU-22M3, seven-Tu-95MC and the same amount of Tu-160. In addition, satellite photos also noticed a collection of other aircraft of the Russian Federation.

In particular, the OSINT analyst saw 26 mines-31 (in this case-not the carriers of "daggers", but travelers), nine transporters (7 An-26, one An-12 and 124). Meanwhile, DE analysts have paid attention to the abnormal large number of TU-22m3. The article states that on May 7, 80% of all bombers of this type, which have the Russian Federation, collected on the basis of "Belaya".

Satellite photos means that there are planes of three heavy aviation regiments of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. At the same time there are planes only 200 regiment, analysts explained. On the other hand, the MT Anderson Osint Analysis showed an image with a different number of aircraft. For example, TU-22M3 was 21 (not 42), Tu-95ms-nine (not seven), Tu-160-four (not seven). That is, a set of bombers based on the basis has changed dramatically for only two days, the article is said.

The Defense Express portal explained what a "tissue" of aircraft on a remote air base is "specific maneuvers". In their view, "the constant change in the number of actually existing strategic bombers" indicates that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation wants to deceive Ukraine and the West. Analysts have suggested that the enemy is trying to hide plans for new blows to infrastructure.

"Belaya" is a Russian military aviation in the Irkutsk region of the Russian Federation, the place of deployment of the 200th Guards Regiment of heavy aviation of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. The air base area is 4,000 per 80 m. The runway coordinates are 52. 922890, 103. 557701. The estimated distance to Ukraine is about 4,500 km. On Google Maps we see that twice the shorter distance to China and the DPRK.

It should be noted that on January 20, Focus wrote about the strike of Ukraine at the Kazan Aviation Plant, located at a distance of 1,000 km. The Defense Express said that the company is involved in the release and repair of strategic bombers of TU-22M3 and Tu-160 for the Armed Forces. Analysts have explained that the scale of the lesion is not known. However, there are problems with engine recovery, on-160 onboard equipment. In addition, repair shops could be destroyed.
