You can check this yourself by downloading the two videos on Telegram from here:
t.me/pushilindenis/…
t.me/LIC_LPR/17431
Then uploading them to a metadata viewing site, like metadata2go.com, then you'll get lots of metadata, including when the files were created
Another example of a video published by separatists having a creation date days before the events shown are alleged to have occurred, this time a supposed Ukrainian attack on chlorine storage.
You can check the metadata of the video on metadata2go.com, and the original source with the metadata is t.me/nm_dnr/6192
This is the third example of a video published by separatists containing metadata that contradicts their claims.
"M72A5 LAW and APILAS live fire.mp4" is also in the metadata. As first noted by @foodz, YouTube has a video "M72A5 LAW and APILAS live fire" which contains very similar explosions to what is audible in the separatists' video.

The Radar Interference Tracker (RIT) is a new tool that allows anyone to search for active military radar systems

It has already proven useful in spotting potential movement of military equipment near Russia’s border with Ukraine – as @oballinger explains bellingcat.com/resources/2022…
@oballinger The tool is free and designed to be intuitive to use.

If you are keen for a quick look to see what you can find (it covers the entire earth), you can access it here: ollielballinger.users.earthengine.app/view/bellingca…
@oballinger But first a note on how the tool works

What can licence plates tell us about the movement of Russian military vehicles towards the border with Ukraine?

Quite a lot, as @AricToler explains in this guide bellingcat.com/resources/how-…
@AricToler Professional and enthusiast researchers alike have sought to gather information about the the types of military vehicles that have been on the move in Russia over recent months.
@AricToler One open source technique that has helped with this task is the monitoring of vehicle licence plates.

With recent talk of Russian disinformation campaigns related to the current tensions around Ukraine we thought it would be timely to revisit some of Russia's previous attempts at disinformation, in particular the four M's that describe their use of satellite and aerial imagery 🧵
The first M is “Misdate”. There have been a number of examples of Russian authorities using legitimate satellite imagery but claiming it is from a different date. One of the most well known is from Russia’s July 21st 2014 press conference on MH17:
bellingcat.com/news/uk-and-eu…
Russian authorities used satellite imagery to claim a Ukrainian Buk missile launcher had been moved from its base on July 17th, the day MH17 was shot down. But comparison of the Russian pictures to Google Earth imagery showed major discrepancies.

Two anti-coup militias in Myanmar recently posted videos showing munitions being dropped via small, off-the-shelf drones

It’s a tactic previously used by militant groups elsewhere in the world. But has it been effective in Myanmar? New from @N_Waters89 bellingcat.com/uncategorized/…
@N_Waters89 In the first video, posted in late December by the Karenni Generation Z Army (KGZ), a small team is shown launching a DJI Phantom drone modified with a release mechanism and armed with a small munition.
@N_Waters89 The second video, posted by the Aung San Force-MPDF on 2nd January, shows six strikes, as well as footage from drones observing what seem to be indirect fire attacks.

With Kazakhstan rocked by protests this past week, Bellingcat has launched an open source database detailing noteworthy recent flights into and out of the country and is inviting readers and researchers to contribute to it. bellingcat.com/resources/2022…
The aim is to better understand the evolving dynamics in the country in the wake of the chaotic events of the past week.
The ability to follow, in real time, where high profile individuals, cargo flights or even the transport of soldiers to and from a conflict zone can help provide crucial insight.

On December 28, a gunman shot and killed five people in Denver, Colorado.

@shane_burley1 and @areidross delved into the shooter’s online posts, past writings and the far-right, masculinist ideology that influenced him bellingcat.com/news/americas/…
@shane_burley1 @areidross According to law enforcement, the shooter's choice of targets was deliberate. In a self-published, self-valorising series of books, he had previously described a massacre on the same street, even naming some of the victims.
@shane_burley1 @areidross Those books, until recently available online, are just one part of a digital trail linking the shooter to fringe pagan and esoteric groups.
