Following aircraft are flying from an air base in "Ossetia".
I am searching after base. High snowy mountains in background.
Proposal Sukhumi or Gudauta.
Several with RF- and air force codes.
8 Backfire Tu-22M3
8 Su-30M2 as escort and lead for bombers. Krymsk aircraft as 70 and 80. Krymsk are counted for 8 Su-30M2 of me.
8 Su-34
2 A-50
? Il-78 Midas
? Mi-8 and Mi-24/35

Many are pictured on several Youtube videos.
Some returning back to original bases in short.
