In preparation for the next combined Russian missile and drone attack on Ukraine, which I warned about yesterday, Russian An-72, An-148-100 and An-26 cargo planes landed at Khalino Airbase, Kursk Oblast, and Baltimore Airbase, Voronezh Oblast, delivering Iskander-M ballistic missiles and Iskander-K cruise missiles. The attack is expected to take place some time in the next few days. It will not involve Tu-95MS or Tu-160 strategic bombers.
