The drone air strikes on Russia by Ukraine have made us realize that Russia has deployed many strategic bombers in the Far East region close to China. This may be to prevent Ukraine and the West from attacking these strategic deterrence weapons. At the same time, these Russian strategic bombers in the Far East can also deter hostile forces such as Japan, South Korea, and the United States in the western Pacific.
In this operation in Ukraine, two far-eastern air bases of Russia became targets, one is the "Ukrainka" Air Base (named "Ukrainka", there were many Ukrainian immigrants in the Far East during the former Soviet Union, which might also be one of the reasons why Ukraine attacked this base) not far from Heihe, China.
The other is the "Belaya" Air Base near Lake Baikal where Su Wu herded sheep. The attack on the "Ukrainka" Air Base by Ukraine's drones failed, but the attack on the Kursk Air Base succeeded, destroying some of Russia's strategic bombers here.
