The Maxar satellite images shows the Air Base in Engels; There are two strategic Tu-95 strategic bombers with car tires on fuselages. There are no independent confirmations of the reasons why this is done, but experts believe that it can be an attempt not only to protect them from the attacks of Ukrainian drones, but also to reduce the visibility, especially at night.
According to Francisco Serra Martins, which represents the One Way Aerospace drone production company, this temporary attempt may have a limited effect in terms of reducing harm. "This can reduce the heat signature of unprotected strategic aviation at aerodromes, but they will still be visible through infrared cameras," he said.
According to him, it may seem stupidity, but, apparently, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation is being done to strengthen the protection of aircraft, which would otherwise be easily accessible targets. "The success of such actions depends on which the projectile is carried by the rocket or drone," Stefan Watkins, an open data -based research consultant explained. He tracks planes and ships.
