Not for protection against UAV shocks: why the Russian Federation draws counterfeit planes on air tights (photo)

The Brady Africk analyst told in its X (Twitter) that the Russian Federation was drawing bait planes on nine airbags. However, unlike real sides, these did not discard the shadows and did not change their location. Defense Express analysts noted that the mass of the practice of Russians in drawing counterfeit sides looks incomprehensible. Since satellite images clearly shows that silhouettes do not give shadows in sunny weather. In addition, the planes are drawn with poor detail.

"Accordingly, there is a logic here that if the object looks fake in principle, then no one will cite a long-range dron-Kamikadze at all," the statement said. A similar situation arises if they saw that radar intelligence satellites do not record the counterfeit planes that the enemy draws, so doubt about targeting such objects is intensified. In addition, the Russians themselves did not pay attention to "bait" in their publications.

Defense Express said that the vast majority of Russian aircraft falling beyond the front line, so one of the indirect ways of calculating or confirming the losses of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation may be a fixation on satellite images, including how many boards stand on one or another airbag at a particular time.

After long -term monitoring of several Russian airbaries, analysts have suggested that the enemy was trying to draw counterfeit planes in order to complicate the likely calculation of satellite images. In addition, such practice was recorded precisely on the air tanks located in relative proximity to the front line.

We will remind, on December 30, 2023, the OSINT investigator Brady Africk reported that the Russians painted several aircraft at the military air base in the Primorsky-Akhtarsk on the shore of the Azov Sea. In particular, the enemy does this in order to mislead observers from space. On March 8, the Defense Express Military Expert Ivan Kirichevsky said that Ukrainian fighters are beating hostile fighters at a distance of more than 150 kilometers.
