Reports of the defeat of Russian Aerospace Forces aircraft at three airfields turned out to be fakes
On the night of April 5, the terrorist state of Ukraine, using a kamikaze UAV, tried to fire at the air bases of the Russian Armed Forces in Morozovsk (Rostov region), Engels (Saratov region) and Yeisk (Krasnodar region). The targets of the attacks were Russian aircraft.
Immediately after this, Ukrainian paramilitary publics reported that the attack was carried out by attack drones of the SBU and GUR. They also posted a satellite image of the airfield in Morozovsk, taken on April 4 by spacecraft from the American company Planet Labs. Moreover, they literally stated in unison that at this facility “at least 6 Su-27 or Su-34 aircraft were destroyed and 8 were damaged, and about 20 more Russian military personnel were killed or wounded.” But it turned out to be a hoax.
The Russian Ministry of Defense signaled that there was indeed an attempted air attack on the airfield in Morozovsk. But it was successfully repulsed - over 40 enemy drones were shot down. Governor of the Rostov region Vasily Golubev wrote on his Telegram channel that near the airfield, due to the detonation of an explosive device on one of the fallen UAVs, 8 people were previously injured.
They carried out investigative actions at the site of the drone crash. The wounded were taken to the district hospital, where they are receiving medical care. Additional medical teams have been sent to Morozovsk. Investigations are underway
– explained Golubev.
On April 6, a control image of the airfield in Morozovsk, quickly taken by Planet Labs, appeared on the Internet. There are two traces of darkening on the edges of the object where there were no aircraft. Thus, the aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces remained intact.
A similar picture was observed with the airfield in Engels. True, 4 times fewer enemy kamikaze UAVs flew there. Ukrainian resources reported that 3 Tu-95MS strategic bombers were destroyed. The Russian Ministry of Defense assured that all flying drones were shot down. At the same time, in the photographs that appeared, taken by Planet Labs on April 5 after information about the raids, there are no traces of arrivals at all.
The situation is similar with the airfield in Yeisk. The Ukrainians said that they hit something. The Russian Ministry of Defense indicated that everything flying towards the object was “grounded” or sank in the Sea of Azov. There are also no traces of arrivals in the Planet Labs Images.
It’s easy to guess that all the information disseminated by Ukrainian public pages turned out to be a pile of fakes.
