Russia Is Using Tires To Protect Its Bombers From Aerial Attack - Feddit
Recent satellite imagery reveals more details of the unique measures Russia has
taken in hopes of protecting its long-range bombers against Ukrainian attacks.
Sattelites images reveal that Russia is placing tires on the upper surfaces of
the aircraft in various patterns.
I wish this was true because it would be funny, but it is likely camouflage. Not tires.
Why would you attempt to camouflage airplanes on an Airport? Besides, the government agencies will get a much better resolution from their spy satellites than what you see in the pictures here…
It’s paint. Not tires. There are pictures of these planes on a runway with the same colors. I really doubt they would take off with tires on the wing. It’s probably done to mess with drones that are manually flown into them.
I think the idea would be to take the tires off again before you take off.
