During the night, 4 Russian Tu-22m3 strategic bombers redeployed from Olenya Airbase to Engels-2 Airbase, where they are being equipped with Kh-22/32 cruise missiles.

These bombers will likely take part in the upcoming combined Russian missile and drone attack.

Additionally, more deliveries of Iskander-M ballistic missiles and Zircon hypersonic cruise missiles took place recently, while Geran-2/Gerbera drones continue to be accumulated at all major launch points near Ukraine.

7 Tu-95MS (2 at Engels-2 Airbase, 5 at Olenya Airbase) and 2-3 Tu-160M strategic bombers (at Ukrainka Airbase) are also equipped with Kh-101 cruise missiles.

All signs point towards the next large-scale attack taking place this weekend, however this will become clearer closer to the time.

This is not a retaliatory attack for Ukraine's drone strikes on Moscow, as it was being prepared before Ukraine even carried out these strikes.

The IDF failed to take it earlier this week and last week. This time they suffered at least 4 killed and 17 injured trying to capture it.
