Russia Foils Ukraine's Attempt to 'Steal' Strategic Bomber
Russia claims to have prevented Ukraine's alleged plot to steal Tu-22M3 strategic bombers, accusing Ukraine and NATO of attempting to recruit Russian pilots to defect with the aircraft. The Federal Security Service (FSB) stated that Ukrainian intelligence planned to persuade a Russian military pilot, offering financial incentives and Italian citizenship, to fly and land the bomber in Ukraine.
In response, Russian forces conducted airstrikes against an air base in northwestern Ukraine. These events follow Russia's previous accusations of Ukraine incentivizing Russian soldiers to surrender equipment, including aircraft and tanks.
Amid tensions, Ukraine reported intense attacks by Russia, launching over 40 missiles at cities, with a particularly severe strike on Kyiv resulting in casualties and damage to residential areas and infrastructure.
