Hi-resolution satellite imagery of air bases deep inside Russia, taken before Ukraine carried out what’s been described as the most audacious drone attack in military history, shows several Russian Air Force jets parked on the tarmac. These include strategic bombers, transport aircraft, and airborne warning aircraft.
Ukraine, under its Operation Spider Web, targeted five Russian air bases after infiltrating its territory. Some of these bases are located hundreds of kilometres inside Russia, while the farthest one is located some 8,000 km from the Russia-Ukraine border.
Satellite images also show how replicas of the military aircraft were also painted on the tarmac to give the illusion of an actual plane being parked there. These act as decoys in order to deter drone strikes.
But these could not avert the Ukrainian drone attack which was meticulously planned and flawlessly executed.
John Ford, a research associate at the California-based James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies, said the images supplied by Capella Space, a satellite company, confirm Ukraine’s achievement in destroying the fleet based in the Irkutsk region. The SAR images showed the remnants of at least two Tu-22 Backfires — the same type of supersonic aircraft that have been used to bombard Ukraine.
At least four strategic heavy Tu-95 bombers were also identified among the aircraft destroyed at the Belaya airfield. “The aircraft targeted in the attack were a mix of Tu-22 and Tu-95 bombers, both of which Russia has used to launch strikes against Ukraine.”
Images from the Ivanovo Severny Air Base show Russia’s advanced A-50 AWACS or airborne early warning aircraft. These are considered precious assets for any military. Russia however, had already lost several of these aircraft during the years-long war in Ukraine. With only a limited number of these AWACS left, if the ones seen in this picture were indeed hit, as Ukraine has claimed, Russia’s air force would have reason to worry.
At the Dyagilevo Air Base in Ryazan, satellite images show the Ilyushin IL-78 tankers, which are a four-engined aerial refueling jet based on the IL-76 strategic airlifter. The photos show how decoys of the aircraft are painted on the tarmac to give the illusion of an actual jet.
