Ukraine’s new Tu-95 killer hunts Putin’s air fleet: did Kyiv build it by reversing Chinese drone?

Published on Aug 15, 2026 04:04 pm IST

Ukraine’s newly revealed long-range MICH 2000 drone is reportedly emerging as a major threat to Russia’s strategic bomber fleet. Reports suggest the SBU used the drone in strikes on Engels-2 air base, targeting Tu-95 bombers that support Russia’s long-range missile campaign. The drone is believed to have a range of up to 2,000 km and may have been developed after Ukraine reverse-engineered a Chinese drone design. If accurate, the program highlights Kyiv’s growing deep-strike capability and its effort to disrupt Russian bomber operations far from the front lines. Watch the full analysis.
