Russia has stepped up its strategic aviation operations and is redeploying missile-carrying aircraft to airfields it uses to launch strikes against Ukraine. Monitoring sources report the redeployment of Tu-95MS aircraft to the European part of the Russian Federation and the preparation of Tu-160 aircraft. They warn of an increased risk of cruise missile strikes on the night of 7 October.<\/p>\n

Tu-95MS aircraft are being redeployed from the Far East<\/h2>\n

As early as the evening of 5 October, monitoring channels began reporting on preparations for the redeployment of strategic bombers Tu-95MS<\/a> from the \u00abUkrainka\u00bb airfield in the Amur Region to bases in the European part of Russia.<\/p>\n

Reports emerged during the night that aircraft had begun flying. Various monitoring sources cite different figures \u2014 ranging from a few aircraft to eight or ten \u2014 which Russia may be moving to \u00abOlenya\u00bb and \u00abEngels-2\u00bb.<\/p>\n

According to unofficial reports from observers, some of the aircraft may already be ready to deploy the X-101. It is precisely these cruise missiles that Russia regularly launches from Tu-95MS aircraft during large-scale attacks on Ukraine.<\/p>\n

Three Tu-160s may also be being prepared for deployment<\/h2>\n

Separately, monitoring sources reported that preparations were under way three Tu-160s<\/strong>. Reports emerged yesterday that a heavy-lift An-124 transport aircraft had arrived at the \u00abUkrainka\u00bb airfield, allegedly carrying a consignment of X-101 missiles to equip three strategic missile carriers. There were also reports of a possible redeployment of these aircraft to the \u00abBelaya\u00bb airfield.<\/p>\n

Russia uses the Tu-160, just like the Tu-95MS, to launch long-range cruise missiles. Their appearance at operational airfields does not in itself mean that a strike will necessarily take place; however, such movements have in the past preceded the deployment of strategic aircraft.<\/p>\n

Observers are issuing a warning about the night of 7 October<\/h2>\n

Several sources that monitor Russian aviation have warned of an increased likelihood of a missile attack on the night of 6 to 7 October<\/strong>. One of the monitoring channels reports that at least seven Tu-95MS aircraft may be involved. It emphasises that this is a preliminary assessment, which may change depending on the aircraft\u2019s subsequent movements and activity at Russian airfields.<\/p>\n

As of the morning of 6 October, there had been no official announcement from the Air Force regarding the preparation of a specific number of Tu-95MS or Tu-160 aircraft for a combat sortie. It is premature to say that a strike has already been planned for tonight. The redeployment of strategic aircraft is one possible indicator of preparations, but does not guarantee that launches will take place.<\/p>\n

Russia has already carried out a large-scale drone attack<\/h2>\n

The redeployment of air forces is taking place immediately following yet another night-time attack. Since the evening of 5 October, Russia has launched attacks on Ukraine 137 attack and other drones<\/strong>, including Shahed drones, jet-powered drones, \u00abGerberas\u00bb, \u00abBanderols\u00bb and decoys.<\/p>\n

As of 08:00, the Air Force reported that it had neutralised 114 UAVs<\/strong>. Strikes were recorded at 17 locations, and debris from the downed aircraft was found at a further four.<\/p>\n

The Air Force traditionally advises the public to rely primarily on official announcements and not to ignore air-raid sirens.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
