These 4 Tu-95s are only only Yaroslavl Oblast, so it will take them nearly two hours to reach the launch lines in the Dubovsky district of Volgograd Oblast (assuming they don’t launch over Engels district, Saratov Oblast).
The Tu-160s are returning to Engels-2 Air Base. New information indicates that they did not conduct any launch maneuvers.
The Tu-95s continue their flight south. It will be at least 80 minutes until they reach the second potential launch lines in Dubovsky district of Volgograd Oblast.
Lately the Tu-95s don’t conduct launch maneuvers at Engels district in Saratov Oblast, but if they do, the chances are it will be simulated.

6 Tu-95s from Olenya are flying over the Republic of Mordovia. They will reach Saratov Oblast soon.
1 Tu-95 is still circling in the Engels district of Saratov Oblast, waiting for the 6 Tu-95s from Olenya.
The 2 Tu-160s are still circling in Saratov Oblast and have not landed yet.

Kh-101 and Kalibr cruise missiles are over Ukraine. The Tu-95s are returning to Olenya Air Base.
I will make a report on what happened, including the consequences of the missiles later today when I’m at my computer.

There are at least 15 missiles over Ukraine. More may fly in, but for now this doesn’t seem like a huge missile strike.
It’s becoming more and more obvious that Russia has begun employing ballistic missiles (specifically Iskander-Ms) more than cruise missiles such as Kalibrs or Kh-101s.

Cruise missiles are used on airfields more often, such as Uman, Starokostyantyniv, Ozerne and Bila Tserkva, and energy and gas infrastructure, while ballistics are used on mobile targets like HIMARS, air defences, or static targets such as defence facilities and factories.
I think these cruise missiles will probably “disappear” and very few explosions will be reported, because they target the airfields. Explosion reports are not often seen when airfields are targeted, let alone footage is published.
A MiG-31K just departed from Savasleika Air Base in Nizhny Novgorod Oblast. Possible Kinzhal launches soon.
Some of the cruise missiles have likely targeted the airfields in Uman, Starokostyantyniv and Bila Tserkva as there are only 10 missiles left. It’s possible some of the rest will fly to the underground gas storage facility in Stryi, Lviv Oblast.
It doesn’t look like the MiGs will launch Kinzhals. They seem to be redeploying to Privolzhski Air Base in Astrakhan Oblast.
Another wave of cruise missiles flew in and struck targets in Pavlohrad, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast and Kharkiv City.
The missile attack is over. I am working on a map to show the movements during the attack.
Approximate movement of the missiles launched in today's large-scale combined missile attack on Ukraine.
A minimum of 16 Kalibrs, 15 Kh-101s, and 6 Iskander-Ms were used.
Missiles impacted targets in Pavlohrad (Dnipropetrovsk Oblast), Kharkiv City, Ozerne (Zhytomyr Oblast), Kyiv City, Shepetivka (Khmelnytskyi Oblast), Starokostyantyniv (Khmelnytskyi Oblast) and Skalat (Ternopil Oblast).
Among the targets were airfields, energy infrastructure and probably defence infrastructure.
6 Tu-95MS strategic bombers took part in launching Kh-101 cruise missiles.
3 carriers of Kalibr cruise missiles, likely including at least one submarine, took part in launching Kalibr cruise missiles.
Iskander-M ballistic missiles were launched from Bryansk, Kursk and Voronezh Oblasts.

Remember videos like this when I report on a missile "disappearing" or "hitting an open area", especially in Sumy Oblast.
It doesn't always mean it was a misidentification or was shot down.
