Russia Accused of Replacing Damaged Aircraft to Hide Losses

Allegations of Russian Deception: New Evidence of Aircraft Replacement Emerges Reports from OSINT investigators suggest Russia is engaging in deceptive practices to mask the extent of damage inflicted on its military aircraft by Ukrainian forces. The allegations center on the replacement of damaged planes with seemingly undamaged ones at air bases, a tactic intended to mislead satellite surveillance. The video evidence, while compelling, requires further independent verification. "Russia is trying to play a game of deception," states an OSINT analyst in the video. "They're replacing damaged Tu-160 bombers with new ones, hoping to avoid detection." The video highlights several instances where investigators allegedly observed this pattern. However, experts caution that additional evidence from independent sources is needed before concluding definitively that this is indeed a widespread practice. This situation underscores the ongoing information warfare aspect of the conflict. The need for independent verification of such claims is paramount to ensure accurate reporting and prevent the spread of misinformation. Further investigation is underway.
