Once activated, these drones launched synchronized strikes deep within <a href=\"https:\/\/kabul-24.com\/en\/japan-protests-russian-missile-test-near-disputed-islands-amid-rising-escalation\/\">Russian<\/a> territory, hitting military airfields and damaging or destroying over 40 aircraft, including seven to eight massive Tu-95 strategic bombers.<\/p>\n<p>The Tupolev-95 (Tu-95), which made its maiden flight in 1952, remains the world&#8217;s only active nuclear-capable, turboprop-powered strategic bomber.
