Olenya.

This is coolbert:

Kola peninsula Russian strategic long-range bomber force.

"Satellite image shows 16 strategic bombers deployed to Kola Peninsula"

"Packed to capacity: All aprons along the runway at Olenya Air Base are now occupied by Russia’s largest and heaviest combat aircraft, a satellite image from this week reveal."

A very significant portion of the Russian manned bomber force moved to a point BEYOND the range of Ukrainian Tu-141 drones configured in the attack mode. 

"Located only 200 km [120 miles] from NATO-members Finland and Norway, Olenya Air Base is closely watched by military analysts. The 3,500 m [about 11,000 feet] runway normally serves a small fleet of elderly Tu-22M supersonic bombers and a few An-12 military transport planes."

YES! Beyond the range of Ukrainian Tu-141 drone in the attack mode BUT all clustered in one spot at one time, wing-tip to wing-tip it seems. Even MORE susceptible to massive damage and destruction  from attack than before? One plane goes up, a whole bunch of them go up as well?
