Russia has suffered significant losses! At least four Tu-95 bombers have been destroyed in the attack! The timing of this incident is very suspicious! On June 1st, according to foreign media reports, it was reported that the Ukrainian Security Service launched an attack on the Oleyny Airbase in Russia using drones. The images showed that at least four aircraft were destroyed, and according to the pictures, the destroyed aircraft were identified as Tu-95 bombers.

If the foreign media reports are true, then this loss for Russia would be huge. Relevant information shows that the Russian Aerospace Forces currently have 55 Tu-95MS bombers in service. This bomber has a range of 15,000 kilometers and can carry 20 tons of ammunition, making it a long-range bomber capable of carrying nuclear bombs for Russia. This time, the Ukrainian drone managed to achieve a successful surprise attack, which can only indicate that there are serious problems with Russia's air defense system.

In fact, there is another very suspicious aspect to this event. It is highly likely that this surprise attack did not receive support from the United States but was carried out under the manipulation of Ukraine's intelligence department. Why do we say so? Because Trump is actually pressuring Ukraine to quickly come to the negotiation table to end the Russia-Ukraine war, and the U.S. lacks motivation to escalate tensions. Therefore, the U.S. may not have been involved.

Furthermore, on June 2nd, peace talks between Russia and Ukraine will take place in Istanbul, Turkey. From Ukraine's perspective, Ukraine naturally has the motive to create achievements to put itself in a relatively advantageous position at the negotiating table, while the U.S. does not want any new issues before the negotiations. Before sitting down at the negotiation table, Ukraine giving Russia such a "gift" would likely make Russia unable to swallow it. This could mean that the upcoming Russia-Ukraine negotiations may end in failure once again.
