  1. There is **more** info about the “attacks” on the mock-ups here, and there is a video posted by Mykola Oleshchuk, the Commander of Ukraine’s Air Force, as well:

    **”Ukraine’s Air Force commander posts video of Russians destroying decoy versions of Ukrainian equipment and aircraft**

    **https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2024/07/6/7464454/**

    from article — see the video on the website:

    Mykola Oleshchuk, Commander of Ukraine’s Air Force, has stated that Russian forces destroyed Ukrainian decoy versions of Patriot air defence missile systems and aircraft instead of real ones on 3 and 6 July.

    Quote: “Naturally, both we and the enemy suffer losses in terms of equipment and personnel. Yet neither side speaks about it publicly. It is clear why!

    As an exception, to explain to the public that things are not so clear-cut, I am posting the videos of two recent enemy strikes with Iskander-M [missiles], filmed by Russian reconnaissance UAVs. [At] Dolhintseve airfield (Kryvyi Rih, 3 July) and [in the] Yuzhnoie area (Odesa Oblast, 6 July), the [Ukrainian] Air Force personnel successfully conducted passive defence measures!

    Thank you to everyone who helps [produce] high-quality decoys for aircraft and air defence systems. The enemy now has fewer Iskanders, but we will deliver more decoys.”

  2. I’ve been wondering about this with all the f-16 talk.
    Was thinking/hoping Ukr would flood the zone with false airfields, bunkers and support.

  3. Is this the airfield where news sources were criticizing the fact that planes were parked a hundred miles from the front line? 

  4. Is there any evidence this is true? It seems a bit convenient. Also, why tell Russia it is hitting mockups? Just saying.

  5. I’m all for it, but it seems a bit too convenient. No evidence of either, so we will never know. Good if true.

  6. At this point the front line will have np supplies for russia and logistics and command and communications will collpoase
