Ukraine crushes Engels-2 airbase; Russia hides Tu-160 bombers on borders with America [g7HX6uwT57C]
Russian airfields are another target that the Defense Forces of Ukraine regularly strike. And this concerns not only the destruction of Russian aviation. This was stated by military expert, founder of the "Reactive Mail" organization Pavel Narozhny on air on Radio NV . "We can recall the strikes on oil depots. When the fuel for strategic bombers burns. Why is this done? During the SBU operation, a large number of Tu-95 aircraft were destroyed. But they still had a large number of Tu-160 aircraft. If I am not mistaken, during the entire operation only one Tu-160 was damaged, not even destroyed," Narozhny said. He also noted that Russian Tu-160 aircraft require a specific fuel, high-viscosity kerosene, which the Defense Forces destroyed during one of the latest strikes on Russia. "Because the Tu-160 rises to a great height and covers a great distance. And this fuel burned successfully at the oil depot, and not in the plane's engines. And that is why the enemy is launching cruise missiles in a rather limited manner. It is already limited to sea-launched Kalibr missiles. And they have a rather difficult time with air-launched missiles," Narozhny added.
