Russian propaganda so absurd it’d laughable, like airbrushing people out of May Day photographs

Because the satellite lens was focused on the ground would be the easiest answer. But most likely because it is inserted from another image source.

Ukraine owned about 50 fighters before the war, no telling how few were operational. They also had about 18 SU-25 ground attack planes before the war. I don’t know how many were operational or how many have been shot down.

Tomorrow they will produce photographs of the Mig-29’s pilot, all zoomed in, with Swastikas emblazoned on his helmet and a copy of Mein Kampf in his hand as he pulls the trigger.

If they focused on the ground, the aircraft would have probably been out of focus, is my point. I’m no expert on that though.

The Ukrainians have some of that experience, too.

A Siberian Airlines TU-154 in 2001 going Tel Aviv to Novosibirsk, was shot down with an S-200 missile over Crimea, killing 78, during a military exercise.

Ukraine denied for months that it was their missile that had shot it down, before reluctantly admitting to it.

The dead were mostly Israeli citizens, including a suspected Mossad Agent.

It was said, 25 years ago, that US spy satellites could read the license plate of a car in Moscow.

I have no doubt the tech has improved since then. Even my Apple laptop could clean up a picture like that, with a fine enough image, and it is a generation old.

Yes, great opportunity for more belly laughs as the Moskal President of retarded BS lies through his teeth in front of world leaders. I look forward to seeing you and the rest of the Sleeper-Trolls frothing at the mouth over it.

An overview of the various indications that this is a crude fabrication can be found here:

Unlike you I am not the product of an illicit affair between a drunk gulag guard and female swine. I therefore have full access to the cognitive abilities of a human being and am not swayed by crude Russian propaganda.

crude Russian propaganda

Yep— the scale or size of the airliner seems off.

Inset picture looks to be area over a mile in length,

so the airliner is about 8-10 miles from inset area.

The size of airliner in picture makes it seem about

10-15 times actual size in relation to the scale of

overall area size. Looks overlayed too big...

crude Russian propaganda’

Really Crude.

The inset area on big photo, measures 3 1/2 of my

screen pointers wide, and the airliner measures 3 pointers

wide, if phony troll picture is to be believed,

the airliner is 4000-4300 feet long. Crock of shit.

‘’it could never happen in America’’

but it did, with you going stupid.....

Really Crude troll propaganda.

The inset area, about a mile wide,
on big photo, measures 3 1/2 of my
screen pointers wide, and the airliner
measures about 3 pointer wide,

SO, if phony troll picture is to be believed,
