David Axe on the possible Olenya drone strike and its implications. Like I wrote, this would be a huge development, not only for Ukraine, but for anyone the kremlin might turn these bombers at - this airbase at the Kola peninsula is their main base and ultimately russia doesn't have a lot of them. Still, waiting for evidence.

"The Russian #Tu22 bomber that was destroyed can travel at twice the speed of sound and has been used extensively by #Russia to attack cities in #Ukraine.

#Moscow's defence ministry said in a statement that an attack by a 'copter-type UAV' took place at around 10:00 Moscow time (08:00 BST) on Saturday." #UkraineWar
