TEEEJ ...

Based on the generally held assumption that these missions frequently transmit unencrypted LAT/LONG Position Reports, as part of encrypted Code Groups, then the starting 12 numerics in the first 3 Message Groups in your link when plotted suggest the following Way Points.



All Credits for Map Data and Plotting Tool as shown.

Which has some validity as all three WP's (which are in close proximity to each other) are just north of Volgograd and close to the Engels Air Base, where TU160's are based. However, without knowing the time of the recordings it's difficult to know if these were outbound or inbound PR's.

I'm sure some kind soul will correct me if I've screwed-up the plotting
