Declassified: ATACMS Strike Destroys 7 Tu-95MS Bombers at Engels-2 — $2.3B Lost [CHlHgo3FR5h]
How Ukraine's 19th Missile Brigade eliminated $2.3 billion in Russian strategic bombers in 4 minutes. Watch the complete breakdown of Operation Steel Talon — the ATACMS strike that ended Engels-2 as Russia's primary cruise missile launch site. On March 22, 2024, eight MGM-140 ATACMS missiles launched from M270 platforms near Kupiansk destroyed seven Tu-95MS Bear-H strategic bombers at Engels-2 Airbase, 730km inside Russia. Ukrainian intelligence exploited a 47-minute gap in S-400 coverage caused by a maintenance rotation, planned over 14 weeks with NATO satellite data from Ramstein. The 22nd Heavy Bomber Division's operational capacity dropped 38%. Russia relocated its remaining bombers to Olenya Airbase in the Arctic within 72 hours — and never came back. Cost exchange ratio: 68 to 1. #ATACMS #Tu95MS #Engels2 #UkraineWar #10thsfg Subscribe for more declassified frontline operations
