Ukraine now targeting top officials: Is Putin seeing red?

On the night of October 12-13, a Russian military transport plane was destroyed by a fire.

Ukrainian military intelligence (HUR) claims to have set fire to an airfield in the Orenburg region of Russia and, at the same time, destroyed the Soviet-designed Tu-134 aircraft mainly used to transport the leaders of the Russian Defense Ministry.

The lack of a reaction from Moscow is worrying... We wonder how the head of the Kremlin will react to this new attack, he who, at this very moment, is talking about a possible confrontation with NATO.

VIP, government and military flights

During the Soviet era, this category of aircraft, manufactured by the Tupolev company, was widely used for passenger transport. Today, its use is limited (or almost limited) to government, military or VIP flights.
