Russia Concentrates 47 Strategic Bombers at Far East Base Amid Ukrainian Drone Threat

For the first time, Russia has deployed all its strategic missile-carrying bombers to Ukrainka airbase in the Amur region, totaling 47 aircraft, according to OSINT project AviVector. This unprecedented concentration, several times higher than at other Russian airfields, appears to be a defensive dispersal to protect assets from Ukrainian drone strikes. The move signals heightened vulnerability of Russia's strategic bomber fleet and may affect its long-range strike posture.
