The DailyMail reports that an official report is available according to which “Russia has transferred bombers from the Far East closer to Ukraine. At least 4 Tu-95MS aircraft were redeployed from Ukrainka [Siberian air base] to Olenya/Engels-2. Some of the aircraft are already equipped with cruise missiles.”
The Russian nuclear bomber fleet has been recently attacked by a daring intelligence operation using drones launched from inside Russia, nearby the parking fields of some of the bombers.
The US-Russia START Treaty demands that both parties keep their nuclear bomber fleet in open parking positions, uncovered and unprotected, so that each party can inspect them, also via satellite. This open display of Russia’s bombers has been abused by whatever government was responsible for the drone attacks. The START Treaty is certainly obsolete now due to this incredible act of humanity’s security sabotage. Russia will move its bombers at its best plaisir from now on.
The move of these bombers is certainly a direct threat to Ukraine, but moreover it is an indirect threat to Europe and the US. These bombers can easily reach all Europe, and subsequently the US.
The move of the Russian bombers can be understood as a response to Trump’s move to reposition two nuclear submarines.
Trump, while ordering the submarines to new locations for a better attack on Russia, may completely missed out about a fact: Trump did officially take Dimitry Medvedev for a deciding person, which he is not. Trump reacted to a social media message of Medvedev without reason. Medvedev has no decision power and no command. The Kremlin put it right today with the following statement to Trump:
“Listen, in every country, members of the country’s leadership have different points of view on current events, have different attitudes. There are people with a hardline attitude in the US and in European countries, this is always the case.
But the main thing, of course, is the position of President Putin.”
