In this article, you will learn about the results of the investigation, which revealed the identities of Russian pilots from the Engels-2 air base involved in the bombing of the civilian infrastructure of Ukraine. You will receive information about how these individuals who play a key role in the military actions against Ukraine were identified and what the consequences of these actions are for the civilian population.
The name of the airfield “Engels-2” becomes known in the Ukrainian media every time a Russian strategic aircraft takes off from there, which prompts the announcement of an air alert in Ukraine. Located in the Saratov region, approximately 900 km from Kharkiv, Engels-2 is one of the largest military air bases in Russia, where Tu-160 and Tu-95MS bombers are stationed.
As of 2021, this base remains the only base for Russian Tu-160s, the number of which, according to military analysts, has decreased to 16 units. Information about these planes, as well as about the pilots and technical personnel serving them, is kept secret. After several drone attacks on Engels-2, the Russian military moved the planes to another base, and left Tu-95 models on the Engels airstrip.
Molfar agency experts identified the employees of the Engels-2 air base, including those directly involved in the bombing of Ukrainian cities, including colonels, chiefs of staff, pilots and even mechanics working on the mentioned planes.
More than 300 missiles have been fired by the pilots of these planes since December 2022. Of course, this is only an approximate number, but we know exactly when and where they shot. Most often, they shoot across Ukraine with Kh-101 and Kh-555 missiles.
One of the most massive shellings — the Russians fired 74 rockets. The air alert lasted 4 hours. As a result of the shelling, the Russians damaged nine infrastructure facilities, due to which restrictions on the production of nuclear electricity were introduced. At that time, more than 1,600 settlements were left without electricity. This is 1 million 279 thousand subscribers. Due to the Russian missile attack, the Kyiv metro stopped its work, and the stations worked as shelters.
On the night of August 6 this year, the Russian military launched a massive attack on Ukraine with “shahedas” and various types of missiles. Pilots from the “Engels-2” air base launched “cruise” missiles of the type X-101 and X-555 from the Caspian Sea with Tu-95Ms as carriers. 13 of these missiles were destroyed by Ukrainian air defense forces. In total, during several waves of rocket attacks, the enemy used 70 rockets of various types that night.
10 Tu-95ms planes took off from Engels-2 airfield. At night, they launched Kh-101 and Kh-555 missiles from the Caspian Sea. Several districts of the capital were affected. There were power outages in some places. 7 people were also injured. Three people were hospitalized. As a result of this missile strike, private houses and vehicles were damaged in the Kyiv region. Air defense of Ukraine shot down more than 20 air targets. A total of 44 cruise missiles were launched. Of them, 10 were released precisely from the boards that took off from Engels.
Engels-2 airfield is located near the city of the same name Engels in Russia. This is one of the largest military air bases of the Soviet Union, where strategic bombers are based. Such as the Tu-160 (NATO Blackjack). It is a supersonic strategic bomber with a variable sweep wing. This is the largest bomber in the world. Can carry nuclear and conventional warheads. The Tu-95MS (Bear according to NATO classification) is a turboprop strategic bomber. It can also carry nuclear charges.
Both of these bombers are carriers of Kh-22 missiles (anti-ship missiles), Kh-101/Kh-102 (the latest for nuclear weapons), Kh-55 (“cruise” missiles with a range of up to 2,500 km). The Tu-95MS and Tu-160 differ in design, technical characteristics and use: the Tu-95MS, with its turboprop engines, is needed for long-term patrol and reconnaissance missions; The Tu-160, with its supersonic speed and variable sweep wings, can perform quick and precise strikes while carrying a large number of precision weapons.
Usually, the Tu-95MS can carry up to 6 “winged” Kh-55 or Kh-101/102 missiles on external suspensions. And the Tu-160 can carry up to “12 cruise missiles” Kh-55, Kh-101/102 in two internal weapons compartments.
Of course, we should not forget about the “nuclear” role of these aircraft. “Engels-2” airfield is part of the so-called “nuclear triad” of Russia. It can also be used for testing and testing new types of aircraft and other aviation equipment. “Engels-2” is equipped with the necessary infrastructure for servicing large and heavy aircraft.
Also, as the Russians write in their social networks in 2018, an air show was held in Engels. The same Tu-95ms patches were also on display.

These pilots, crew members and commanders were implicated in international war crimes for their involvement in attacks on residential areas and civilian infrastructure in Ukraine. The activities of the persons referred to in this article can and should be recognized as crimes against humanity or acts of genocide against the Ukrainian people.
Therefore, these people should be recognized as international criminals. They, like all those who carry out similar attacks against Ukraine, must understand that punishment is inevitable. Recent events show that the crimes of these people will not go unpunished.
Information appeared in the mass media that the inscription “The family of a murderer lives here” appeared on the house where the family of an employee of the Engels-2 airbase lives. This shows that even in Russia they are aware of the gravity of the committed crimes and crimes against humanity.
