😉Powerful explosions were heard in the city of Engels, Saratov Region. Locals say that before that they heard the roar of engines.

Engels is indeed German, it means something like "of the angel" (angel in genitive singular case). But it's a name so translations are of limited use.

The airbase is named after the famous author, Friedrich Engels, who worked closely with Karl Marx.
