Is he okay?

I was wondering the same thing earlier today

It was actually a Tu-160, escorted by 4 Sukhoi and behind it came another apparently tanker or transport plane and another Tu-160.
Therefore, what these accounts say must be taken with tweezers.

He implied no such thing.
"Footage from earlier today shows Tu-22M3 long range strategic bomber refueling in-air above Vyazma, Russia."
He's corrected it on his telegram channel.
He also added a subnote to his tweet saying it's a TU-160.

Ive heard about this earlier but waited for confirmation from soldiers on the ground

Russian aviation carried out bombing attacks with Tu-22M3 long-range bombers Azovstal. They assume its FAB-3000

Your army is providing the most current standard gear to the front-line soldiers. Everything apart from the optics

Reservists will definitely benefit from proper boots and comfy uniforms, even if they will stay in the rear. It doesn't matter if you are in the rear or at the front, you still face same weather elements and etc. Also, no point to keep the good stuff for airsofters. Russian commercial-grade uniforms are one of the best in the world, rucksacks, attachments and various gear is world-class. Even marines storming Mariupol have very bad gear compared to what is available. Milinfo channel posted videos of them wearing civilian backpacks, some of them in bright colours like red and blue, some of them had sports bags with one shoulder strap support.



I have loads of backpacks from Grey Shop and other Russian suppliers, some of them lightweight assault platforms, sturdy as hell, light and modular, they don't hang or disbalance you, good support, no problems shouldering rifle and shooting. Wartech, Older SPOSN, ANA and so on. Not to mention medbags, plate carriers and etc. Russian stuff is not that expensive. If I could - I would send my gear out, but then there shit tons of it in Russia sitting on the shelves right now.

There's also been more strategic bombers sighted flying.
Some are saying they're preparing for more strategic bombing of 404.
There's been footage posted of the Tu-22's bombing run.

They should be using more Kh-101's or use Guided bombs with Tu-22M3's. Conventional bombs kinda worrysome. One Ukrainian Buk around can turn things badly.

Oh and be ready for more "Russia running out of missiles" argument popped up soon

The commander of the Saratov reportedly died in hospital from his injuries.

Issue with bombs is that the tu-22m3 isn't capable of using them

Ugh.. well hope the escorts can spot the Buk first or Russians will include many decoys to lure and then destroy the air defense before the M3 arrived.

I think you're mistaken, Flamming_Lenin has done more crying over dead UkroNazis than he's ever done for Russian POW's tortured to death, LPR/DPR residents that were shelled, kidnapped, tortured, raped and murdered for 8 years straight and of course, the normal Ukrainian citizens today (Russian speakers, Romanians, Hungarians etc...) accused of being traitors and marauders then humiliated, stripped, beaten and killed by the Banderite regime.

Guided bombs doesn't make you safer than using normal bombs... maybe you mean gliding bombs ?

Cruise missiles are for static targets. There is almost none left in ukraine. It's mostly soldiers using civilian cars that constantly move.

Updates

1) Germany's minister of Finance confirms press reports: Germany is indeed spending 2 billion Euros on military equipment, most of it designated for Ukraine

2) U.S. now believes the Russian warship Moskva that sunk was hit by two Ukrainian Neptune missiles, a senior U.S. official says

3) Kherson region: This morning Russian troops removed Ukrainian flags at town hall in Skadovsk and raised Russian flags, the same in Oleshky yesterday

4) kalibur and other missiles strikes in various areas of Sumska Oblast, Sumy, Kirovohrad region, Poltava, Mykolaiv, (including smerch rockets used) and heavy shelling in Kharkiv

How many more weeks till the Russians go on the offensive again?

Nasty but to be expected.

New: Ukraine has run more than 8,600 facial recognition searches on dead or captured Russians in the 50 days since the war began, using the scans to find the soldiers' social media profiles - and send photos of their corpses to their families back home https://wapo.st/3KHnkxE

8600 casualties seems to be Ukrainian propaganda

I took it as multiple searches per person.

They are not organizing the truth into fewer errors like those at the beginning of the campaign. Be curious to know how many fighters defended Mariupol. For if it's 12,000 as estimated, deducting prisoners of war, there really was an extermination on a large scale.
