Russia appears to be preparing for another large-scale air attack on Ukraine with dozens of bombers spotted massing at a key airbase. 

Two dozen Tu-95 and Tu-160 long-range bombers have gathered at Engels-2 air base, near the city of Saratov, alongside fuel tanks, support vehicles, and repair supplies. 

Analysts say crates - likely ammunition boxes containing Kh-55 and Kh-101 cruise missiles - are also visible near the aircraft, suggesting a large-scale attack on Ukraine is 'imminent.'

WNU Editor: Some commentators are saying that this gathering of bombers is not unusual. 

I disagree. 

You do not gather two dozen strategic bombers alongside fuel tanks, support vehicles, and crates that are likely ammunition boxes to conduct a photo-op or exercise. You gather together this type of firepower because you have plans to use it.

  1. It might just that a photo-op. The Ukranians have been shooting down russian aircraft a lot lately, these would make excellent targets.

  2. Those bombers fly over Ukraine and bomb, Russia will be in open war against the US.

    Joe's hand will be forced. He will look weak, if he does not. Republicans will stop their antiwar bit.

    But Vladimir, who was a decent spy for all we know, does not know shite about warfare.

    It does not make me happy to see Goldstein comment on this subject. It worries me.
