Moment two of Putin’s Tu-95 nuclear bombers ‘are BLOWN UP in Ukrainian drone attack

Two of Vladimir Putin's Tu-95 nuke bombers were reportedly blown up in a suspected Ukrainian drone attack at a high-security Russian airbase.

Shocking footage showed a huge flash at the Engels airbase in the Saratov region of Russia after the apparent early morning strike.

Two Tu-95s - known as Bears - were reportedly destroyed in the explosion.

The bombers have been used to blast targets in Ukraine with non-nuclear weapons, particularly in recent weeks as Putin continues to blitz the country's infrastructure.

Two Russian troops were injured and rushed to hospital after the suspected Ukrainian strike, Visegrád 24 reports.

Traffic was said to be at a standstill near the airfield on Monday as emergency services responded to the attack.
