TU-95 bombers from the Russian Engels-2 airfield could be moved to the Olenya strategic aviation airport in the Murmansk region — Skhemy regarding satellite images from Planet Labs.

The Engels-2 airfield near Saratov has been hit by drones several times before. 

Journalists compared the images from February 21 with those from October 7, finding that seven additional Tu-95s had appeared at the Olenya airfield.

There are 11 Tu-95s, two Tu-160s and two Il-78 refuelling aircraft at the airport today.

The journalists assume that the increase in the number of bombers and the presence of two refuelling aircraft may indicate the active use of the airfield for future Russian attacks on the territory of Ukraine.

Skhemy notes that Olenya is located three times further from the Ukrainian border than Engels-2.
