He was involved in the bombing of Ukrainian cities.

The GUR (Ukrainian Defence Intelligence) reported on the liquidation of the commander of the Tu-95 bomber Oleg Stegachev in the Russian city of Engels.

According to the GUR, he was involved in the bombing of Ukrainian cities, and the OSINT agency Molfar was able to identify other pilots from the Engels-2 airbase, from where bombers take off to strike Ukraine.

According to the publication focus.ua, Oleg Stegachev and Sergei P., the retired commander of the fire systems, were next to the garages on Petrovsky Street. They heard three "claps", similar to shots at about 20:00 (local time) on January 2.

Police found three cartridges from traumatic weapons and a metal tip flask at the scene.

What is known about the Tu-95 military pilot

According to InformNapalm, Stegachev was among the Russian pilots who participated in the bombing of civilians in Syria.

It is recalled that data on Russian terrorist pilots have been published since 2015 when they trained in Syria to kill civilians and bomb civilian infrastructure.

"It is cheaper to hire a hitman who eliminates a highly specialized specialist than to try to shoot down missiles in the air... The very fact of such a hunt and regular news about successes in that will be a reason for other pilots to refuse to comply with criminal orders or look for ways to escape to Ukraine taking aircraft with them..." the investigators write.
