Lined up on a runway just 100 miles from Ukraine, 15 supersonic Russian fighter- bombers await their orders from the Kremlin.
This and other satellite images have revealed the aerial power Vladimir Putin has amassed in the tense border region.
Seen for the first time, the pictures show the aircraft which experts fear could spearhead a Russian invasion of its Nato-supporting neighbour.
The 15 Su-34 fighter-bomber aircraft are on the runway at Morozovsk airbase.
With a top speed of 1,367mph, they are armed with an array of laser-guided missiles and a 30mm autocannon capable of firing 1,800 rounds a minute.
