These images show the mural-like decoys Russian airmen have painted at bases inside Russia and within occupied Ukraine.
  • Russia has a history of painting decoy military aircraft at its airbases around the country.
  • Analysts say the tactic is an attempt to mislead Ukraine when it carries out long-range attacks.
  • Both Moscow and Kyiv have used decoys to try and deceive the other side throughout the war.

    Sir, as much as I like giving people the benefit of the doubt for trying their best I need you to really sit down with me and look at this picture.

    They painted it to the fucking tarmac. It doesn’t have shadows. It doesn’t even have shading. It looks like they spilled some paint and thought “fuck fuck fuck try to make it into a plane shape before it dries!”
