Comments:

* Attacks on the air fields Russian long-range aviation strategic aircraft not unexplained. Those attacks by Ukrainian Tu – 141 intelligence and surveillance drones perhaps sans warhead mandating a Russian protective response. Valuable and very limited in number combat aviation too valuable to be lost!

* Aircraft scattered to airfields in the Russian Far East out of range of the Tu – 141 Ukrainian drones. Backfire, Bear and Blackjack warplanes flown to safety beyond the range of any possible Ukrainian drone attack!

* Russian long-range aviation warplanes launching cruise missiles during the Ukraine Conflict using long-range aviation as stand-off weapon delivery systems. At extreme range Russian cruise missiles  can be launched at Ukrainian targets located 3,000 km [1,800 miles] away danger to the Russian warplanes nil!
