A map published on social networks indicates that only six regions in the west of the country seem beyond the reach of these potential bombings.
The Tu-95 aircraft are long-range bombers developed under the Soviet Union and capable of carrying cruise missiles. For their part, the MiG-31s are interception and attack aircraft, accompanying strategic bombers on their journey.
