Manufacturing of both the Tu-95 and Tu-22 ended at the fall of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s, which will make repair difficult and replacement near impossible.

In two instances we see the drone carefully position itself on the wing of a Tu-95 - next to one of its fuel tanks.

The SBU footage shows smoke pouring from three aircraft, identified as Tu-95 strategic bombers and an approach to a fourth.

The strategic missile-carrying bombers targeted in the attack are thought to be – among others - the Tu-95, Tu-22 and Tu-160.

This matches Ukrainian drone footage also showing an attack on a Tu-95 bomber.
