Destroyed Russian Tu-95MS aircraft were preparing to carry out a combat sortie

4 2025 June 35 254 12

The strategic aviation aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces Tu-95 MS, destroyed at air bases in the Murmansk and Irkutsk regions on June 1 of this year, were preparing to carry out a combat sortie. This conclusion can be made based on an analysis of photographs published by the Security Service of Ukraine.

The pictures show that at least one Tu-95MS was standing with an X-101 missile suspended on its outer pylon, which may indicate that some aircraft were beginning to prepare for a combat sortie. Immediately after the SBU published videos of attacks on Russian aircraft, some experts drew attention to the fact that the enemy's FPV drones were hitting precisely the underwing pylons of some missile carriers, where the fuel tanks are also located.

It is worth noting that, according to the leaders of the Kyiv regime, the operation codenamed "Web" had been in preparation for a year and a half. And the day of the attack was not chosen by chance.

The second round of negotiations to resolve the conflict in Istanbul was scheduled for June 2, following which the parties exchanged memoranda and agreed to exchange prisoners.

The Western press and most experts assessed these results as unsatisfactory. At least for Ukraine, which is seeking a 30-day ceasefire in the SVO zone.

We should add that the strategic aviation aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces, located at air bases in the Murmansk and Irkutsk regions, were defenseless against attacks by Ukrainian FPV drones, which were delivered to the site of the sabotage in cargo trucks.

And the tires - so that it burns better??

  This is probably some kind of know-how from the General Staff of the Russian Federation: tires as hangar substitutes. Perhaps tires have the property of psychologically influencing UAVs and FPV, like a scarecrow on birds. Maybe even on drone operators. An associative series with tires on the Maidan, a kind of "friend or foe" system. In general, a consultation with psychiatric specialists is required.
  Or maybe it's all much simpler: the money allocated for the construction of hangars went to the construction of summer cottages for generals in the Patriot summer cottage cooperative, and the tires were purchased as scrap metal from junkyards.

I will disappoint many. Are you sure that these are "active" aircraft and not "dummy" or even mock-ups? Did they hang a missile? Well, well... I kept quiet for a long time, but now they have written about Ivanovo and it is true. I don't know for sure about the strategists. In my opinion, you were all deceived along with Trump, who went silent. I can say one thing for sure - there are no idiots in long-range aviation. They launched drones - set tires on fire - they deceived suckers. If they now sink "someone's" aircraft carrier, it will be a "retaliatory strike". Who will sink it? North Korea, for example. Shoigu is already there. Don't believe me. Believe the telephone scammers and video clips...

During war, military aircraft are always shot down. Many helicopters were shot down in Afghanistan by Stingers. Ours learned to attack FAB-mi beyond the reach of enemy air defense. Mi-6 found a way to get our aircraft, and ours will find a way to protect them. It is high time to attack Britain with Poseidon.

I don't know which of the two, Bortnikov or Naryshkin, rather both need to be replaced as having failed to cope with their official duties. One has a supervisory disgrace with the treatment facilities on the Volga, plus the Kursk region. Naryshkin lost trust when participating in the legitimization of usury, MFO is a killer of women in labor. And both allow Nabiullina to head the Central Bank, after which Putin and Mishustin became the world's laughing stock! "Rates, inflation!" Trump.

And most importantly, no one will be held responsible for the failure to protect airfields, for anti-sabotage inaction, etc.

  You are wrong to think so - the major on duty at the airfield will definitely be punished, have no doubt about it.

    UAZ 452 and why did you assume that the duty officer is to blame, here the supply officer is at least to blame. The canteen is dirty, the tanks are not washed, it is obvious that it was sabotaged.

The result is zero for 3,5 years. Will it be positive when there are only a couple of strategists left?

Whom Putin will be able to reward for the fact that some of the planes remained. For the fact that they failed to save some, he will not touch the true culprits. He determines immunity from prosecution by loyalty. This is the main thing, and the fact that many of our heads of the Ministry of Defense and especially the General Staff are unfit to perform the functions assigned to them is extremely unimportant.
