Vladimir Putin has deployed eleven bombers capable of carrying nuclear weapons just a few miles from the border with Nato.
American satellite operator Planet Labs detected "an increased presence" of Russian TU-160 and TU-95 strategic bombers less than 20 miles from the border with Norway.
A satellite image taken on October 7 shows seven Tu-160 strategic bombers and four Tu-95 aircraft at the Russian airbase Olenya on the Kolskyi Peninsula. The disclosure comes from Faktisk.no - an independent Norwegian fact checking website - which obtained the data from American satellite operator Planet.
Tu-160 jets, the largest and heaviest Mach 2 warplanes ever made, are capable of flying 7,500 miles non-stop, without refuelling and can carry up to 12 short-range nuclear missiles. The Tu-95 strategic bombers - known as Bears - are some of the biggest aircraft in Putin's air force, capable of hauling cruise missiles and massive nuclear bombs.
