Still early in reporting, but like some other strikes in Crimea and elsewhere, the actual cause of explosions seems as vague as the disinformation of the NAFO fellas. Maybe Pikachu did it, collect them all!
Footage has emerged appearing to show the moment an explosion damaged two nuclear bomber jets in Russia.
The Engels-2 airbase, near the city of Saratov, which is used to prepare attacks on Ukraine, is believed to have been hit by drones.
Videos circulating online show a huge flash at the high-security airbase used by Vladimir Putin’s strategic fleet.
Also known as Bears, the four-engine Tupolev Tu-95 bombers, which are the only propeller-powered strategic bombers still operational today, are believed to have been damaged as a result.
Details about what happened are still scarce, but two servicemen were reported wounded and hospitalised.

Russia has stopped using Iranian-made kamikaze drones in Ukraine because they don't work in cold weather, a Ukrainian official said.
Yevgeny Silkin, of the Joint Forces Command for Strategic Communications of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, said that Russia had stopped using the Iranian drones, which are made of plastic and other materials that are not frost resistant, according to Ukrainian news agency UNIAN.
The outlet said that the drones have not been used in Ukraine since November 17, which was also the first day that it snowed in Ukraine this year.
Winters in Ukraine can be cold, with mean temperatures often below freezing between December and March.
Russia started to use the Iranian drones in October, as part of a new playbook that targeted power distribution and other critical infrastructure from afar. Ukrainian civilians have also been killed by drone strikes.
