Russian Aerospace Forces have deployed their new highly advanced ISR aircraft.

The Tu-214R reconnaissance aircraft, designed to conduct electronic and radar reconnaissance at distances of up to 400-500KM was deployed on September 22nd, one such aircraft with the callsign RF-64514 conducted several test flights over the western part of Russia, taking off from Kazan airport.

The capabilities of this aircraft are unknown, it is new and only entered service a few years ago. This aircraft made Americans particularly paranoid when Russia deployed them to Syria in 2016, American mainstream media reported that the aircraft was deployed to spy on F22 and collect their radar signatures & transmitted them to Russian Air Defence Systems.

According to western media and their military intelligence sources, the Russian aircraft capabilities are as follows

Business Insider report:

“Equipped with sensors to perform ELINT (Electronic Intelligence) and SIGINT (Signal Intelligence) missions as well as with all-weather radar systems and electro-optical sensors that produce photo-like imagery of a large parts of the ground the special mission aircraft, the aircraft can fly multiple intelligence gathering missions: it can intercept and analyse signals emitted by targeted systems (radars, aircraft, radios, combat vehicles, mobile phones etc) while collecting imagery that can be used to identify and pinpoint the enemy forces, even if these are camouflaged or hidden.”

This signals that Russia is preparing large scale strikes on Ukrainian targets, as well as to employ its aviation on a larger scale — amid the announced escalation with Russia’s partial-mobilization.
