Ukraine’s long-range drone program has struck the core of Russia’s strategic bomber fleet. The SBU officially confirmed the destruction of a Tu-95 strategic bomber inside Russia’s heavily fortified Engels airbase—after an incredible 800 km deep-strike operation.

Why this matters:

The Terror Machines: The Tu-95 “Bear” is Russia’s primary platform for launching devastating cruise missile strikes against Ukrainian civilians and infrastructure.

Irreplaceable Losses: Russia can no longer manufacture these heavy bombers. Every airframe destroyed is a permanent reduction in Moscow’s strategic capabilities.

Defenseless Skies: Striking the home of Russia’s nuclear deterrent 800 km away shatters the myth of Russian airspace security.

As President Zelensky noted, this is another highly successful “long-range sanction” enforced directly by Ukrainian tech. The global superpower illusion continues to burn. 🇺🇦🔥✈️  #UkraineWar  #Tu95  #EngelsAirbase  #SBU  #RussiaIsWeak  #Geopolitics
