As Ukrainian long-range strike capabilities have grown, so has the number of decoys at Russian air bases involved in the invasion of Ukraine.

This thread shows several of the decoys Russian forces have painted at air bases that were once beyond Kyiv’s reach. (1/8) Image
Last summer, I noticed new activity at Russia’s Yeysk air base.

Russia was creating plane-like shapes at the base and these white “canvases” were later painted to resemble Russian fighter jets. (2/8)
Primorsko-Ahktarsk, an air base on the Sea of Azov, got its own decoys as well.

Some of these are painted in color while others are less detailed. (3/8) Image
