Tu-95MC activity and arming update

After the resumption of missile attacks (Tu-95MC), training at the “Engels-2” airbase has significantly decreased.

It is likely that the training of new crew members has been completed.

During the missile attack on August 26, Russia launched 13 Tu-95MC aircraft. This seems to have been the result of the training.

Two Tu-95MC aircraft that had flown in for X-101 missile loading (plus one additional aircraft) returned to “Olenya” on August 28, which confirms the missile loading process according to the scheme:

arrival → arming → departure

As of August 31, the number of Tu-95MC aircraft known to be armed is approximately seven (all stationed at the “Olenya” airbase).

The total number of Tu-95MC aircraft near Ukraine as of August 31 remains largely unchanged at 18:

“Olenya” — 9 Tu-95MC

“Engels-2” — 5 Tu-95MC

“Dyagilevo” — 4 Tu-95MC
