Rusland

🇷🇺🇺🇦 So far 5 Tu-95 strategic bombers plus 1 transporter were destroyed according to videos and visual proofs.

The attack on only two bases was successful, the other two have failed.

Why did Russia keep those bombers unprotected?

Because of the New START Treaty Requirements:

"The New START Treaty, signed in 2010 and extended through February 4, 2026, includes provisions for the verification of strategic offensive weapons, including heavy bombers equipped for nuclear armaments. The treaty mandates that these bombers be based at locations VISIBLE to national technical means (NTM) of verification, such as satellite imagery, to allow monitoring by the other party.

This implies that strategic bombers should be stationed in a way that makes them observable, typically at designated airbases, to confirm their status (e.g., whether they are nuclear-armed or converted to conventional use)."
