Ukraine seems to have kicked one of the legs of russia’s nuclear triad pretty hard.

“Ukraine says it has hit more than 40 ‘enemy bombers’ in a drone attack deep inside Russia - which could cost the Russian air force $2bn. Last night, two bridges also collapsed in separate Russian regions - which authorities blamed on ‘explosions’.”

David Axe on the possible Olenya drone strike and its implications. Like I wrote, this would be a huge development, not only for Ukraine, but for anyone the kremlin might turn these bombers at - this airbase at the Kola peninsula is their main base and ultimately russia doesn't have a lot of them. Still, waiting for evidence.

Si la destruction du Tu-22 par un missile ukrainien est avérée, nul doute que la Russie usera de ses bombardiers avec plus de circonspection à l’avenir. #Tu22 #UkraineWar

Despite its horrible purpose, the Tu-22M3 undeniably has the most awesome #afterburner glow of any #aircraft ever, anywhere: youtu.be/Uv5cPI25r3s?t=183

These bombers are irreplaceable, Russia can no longer build them.

"The Russian #Tu22 bomber that was destroyed can travel at twice the speed of sound and has been used extensively by #Russia to attack cities in #Ukraine.

#Moscow's defence ministry said in a statement that an attack by a 'copter-type UAV' took place at around 10:00 Moscow time (08:00 BST) on Saturday." #UkraineWar
