Ukraine prints giant images of destroyed buildings to confuse Russian bombers

Ukraine has been fighting the invasion of Kremlin troops for more than nine months and, in order to do so, has been forced to develop imaging techniques to mislead Russian soldiers. Along these lines, they have printed giant images of destroyed buildings on paper, such as hangars, to camouflage their air bases.

This is reflected in an analysis of the invasion carried out by the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) echoed by The Mirror, which points out that the Russian Army has also wasted ammunition on false targets, such as fictitious Himars rocket launchers built in the United States.

Printing targets already hit serves as camouflage for real installations, as it makes attackers believe that the place has already been destroyed.

Another of the great difficulties that have penalized the Moscow troops is friendly fire since the Kremlin's artillery has hit targets on its own side, according to the analysis. "Fratricidal attacks have been a widespread problem for Russian forces during the invasion of Ukraine," he concludes.

In addition, Vladimir Putin's forces have been using outdated maps, which has led them to wander into certain areas and made it easier for the Ukrainians to deceive.

The situation, the report says, puzzled Russia, as it did not understand how the Ukrainian pilots could fly with their hangars destroyed, and questioned whether they had moved their planes underground to complex underground airbases.

On the reasons for Russia's poor performance on the battlefield, the study points to command problems and the fact that troops make the same mistakes over and over again.
