Ukraine launches powerful new missile and drone strikes on Russia’s Engels-2 airbase Ukrainian intelligence reports active construction at Russia’s Engels-2 airbase in the Saratov region, suggesting Moscow is preparing for new large-scale missile strikes against Ukraine. The HUR’s Aratta special forces unit revealed that Russia is expanding the base, pouring concrete for 12 new parking bays for Tu-95MS, Tu-160, Su-34, and Su-35 aircraft—key bombers used in attacks on Ukraine. Satellite images shared by OSINT analysts confirm rapid construction, with new taxiways connecting the northern and southern sections of the airfield. Engels-2, located about 700 km from Ukraine, is Russia’s main hub for strategic aviation. Ukrainian drones have previously struck the base, destroying missiles and fuel depots. Analysts believe Ukraine may respond with fresh missile and drone strikes on Engels-2 to prevent future attacks and protect its cities from renewed Russian bombardment.
