As it turned out, the Tu-95MS on satellite images from Engels | Denys Davydov

As it turned out, the Tu-95MS on satellite images from Engels were not repainted to blur the silhouette, as previously assumed, but were lined with car tires.

This can be understood from the recently published better pictures.

Apparently, it is assumed that the tires should somehow protect the Tu-95MS from dropping ammunition from the drones. Now we need to wait for the protective grills for those bombers by analogy with tanks.
