🇷🇺Russian Aviation Assets: Sea of Azov🇷🇺
Given these are close to Crimea, on the Sea of Azov, I thought it would be pertinent to look at two additional bases outside of Crimea: Krymsk & Primorsko Akhtarsk. They are the yellow markers vs. the red which I have already covered

🇷🇺KRYMSK🇷🇺
Most fighter #'s I've seen near Ukraine
Su-27 x52
Su-30 x9
Most interesting is the A-50M taxiing for takeoff. 📸 was from Mar 8 which had a heavy missile attack that evening. Was the A-50 coordinating the air launched cruise missile strikes? Is she based there?

🇷🇺PRIMORSKO AKHTARSK🇷🇺
Home of the 960th Assault Aviation Regiment. Attack aircraft only (based on my ID's)

🇷🇺RU LONG RANGE AVIATION🇷🇺
We have all seen the dispersal of the bomber force at Engels after the attacks in early December on Engels & Dyagilevo. What we haven’t been able to discern is where did these aircraft go and are they still involved in the missile attacks on UKR.

🧵2/5
The primary bases for long range aviation are: Engels (nearest UKR), Belaya (near Lake Baikal) and Urkainka (Far East). It has also been confirmed that Tu-22s are operating out of Shaikovka (north of Bryansk) and Dyagilevo (near Ryazan) and participating in attacks on UKR.

🧵3/5
In combination with Google Earth 📸, OSINT and 0.5M and 0.3M 📸, I have been able to determine the movement of at least part of the long range 🇷🇺bomber force. I’ve looked at Engels, Ukrainka, Belaya, Voronezh and Shaikovka in the Fall 2022 (pre Engels attack) and in 2023.
