Reports that the Russians have launched 14 Bears from Engels, which is just about the entire wing.

Not enough time to have planned and launched an attack, so looks like they’re flushing the bombers to safer FOBs, presumably further east.

Which should severely hamper any further mass cruise missile attacks on Ukraine.

The other main Bear base is Ukrainka in the Far East, with around 42 aircraft, but that’s over 7,500km east of Moscow and deploying there would realistically take them out of the war.
