The number of Geran-2 drones detected in Ukrainian airspace is rapidly increasing, and is already over 100.

General flight vectors of the Gerans.

The airspace has been closed in the area of the launch lines for MiG-31Ks. There is a possibility of Kinzhal hypersonic aeroballistic missile launches tonight.

The 5 Tu-95MS from Olenya Aibrase are flying over Vologda. They are expected to reach the launch lines in Engels District, Saratov Oblast, in around 1 hr 30 mins.

I will be offline for around an hour, but will be back afterwards with more coverage.

Nevermind, I will not be leaving. A MiG-31K is airborne from Savasleika Airbase.
