The Russian strategic aviation is being urgently redeployed to the Far East after the Ukrainian strikes.

According to information from the OSINT analyst AviVector, all Tu-160 bombers have been evacuated from the Belaya and Oleneya airfields. Now, some of these aircraft are deployed in Anadyr, Chukotka, and in Elizovo, Kamchatka, while the rest have been moved to Tatarstan.

In addition, all Tu-95MS and 11 Tu-22M3 bombers have taken off from the air bases. They are distributed across the airfields in the Far Eastern and Southern regions of Russia, including Ukrainka, Engels-2, Borisoglebsk, and even Mozdok, which was previously hardly used.

According to military analysts, this is the first case of a massive dispersion of the Russian strategic aviation since the beginning of the war. Moscow will have to change the location of the aircraft frequently to avoid repeated attacks from Ukraine.
