Kyiv • UNN
Because of successful Ukrainian strikes, Russia has been forced to use decoys and deception techniques, such as painting fake fighter jets on concrete at airfields, to try to hide its aircraft.
Due to the successful Ukrainian strikes on military targets, Russia was forced to use a number of methods of decoys and deception to try to hide the aircraft. This is stated in a new report by British intelligence, UNN reports .
It is likely that as a result of continued successful Ukrainian strikes on military locations, Russia has been forced to employ a number of bait and switch methods to try to confuse Ukrainian targeting efforts,
Details
It is noted that in the occupied Crimea, at the Kirovske airfield, decoys of Russian fighter jets are painted on the concrete, which have also been seen at at least 12 Russian airbases, demonstrating the degree of Russia's concern about future Ukrainian strikes and its ability to repel them.
However, Russian helicopters still regularly land on the painted silhouettes of decoy fighters, completely negating the deception attempt. This also reveals the true battle order or number of aircraft at these air bases, which Russia is probably trying to hide from the Ukrainian intelligence picture,

Russian Federation has deployed four barges at the entrance to Novorossiysk Bay to protect its ships from Ukrainian surface drones.
