This has been reported by Militariy, citing, in particular, footage from interceptor drones showing aircraft resembling Ukrainian FP-1\/2 models.<\/p>\n<div class=\"news-summary-box\">\n<p><strong>Briefly about the main points<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Russia is collecting Ukrainian UAVs that have survived after crashing or being neutralised by electronic warfare.<\/li>\n<li>They repair the captured drones and use them for their own purposes.<\/li>\n<li>Drones resembling the FP-1\/2 were spotted in footage captured by interceptors.<\/li>\n<li>A drone bearing Ukrainian inscriptions crashed in Moldova following the Russian attack.<\/li>\n<li>Warnings about such provocations had previously been issued in Poland.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2>What do the interceptor footage reveal?<\/h2>\n<p>Pros. <a href=\"https:\/\/militarnyi.com\/uk\/news\/rosiya-jmovirno-pochala-vykorystovuvaty\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">data<\/a> In a military context, the enemy may use drones that have been recovered after they crashed or were neutralised by electronic warfare measures. Once repaired, these drones can be repurposed for their own ends.<\/p>\n<p>One indication of this practice is said to be footage from the interceptors. Drones resembling Ukrainian FP-1\/2 models were spotted in this footage. The similarity in appearance does not in itself explain the drone\u2019s specific mission; however, when taken together with reports of captures and repairs, it suggests the possibility that captured drones are being used to mimic Ukrainian UAVs.<\/p>\n<h2>The case of Moldova and a warning for Europe<\/h2>\n<p>Military experts recall an incident in Moldova: following a Russian attack, a drone bearing Ukrainian markings crashed there. Such markings can create a false impression of the aircraft\u2019s origin and complicate the initial assessment of the incident.<\/p>\n<p>Warnings about the risk of such provocations were also issued in Poland. A presidential adviser <strong>Flash<\/strong> pointed out that the appearance of unidentified UAVs over European countries would not necessarily mean that Russian \u00abSuperkams\u00bb or \u00abOrlans\u00bb with stars on their wings were being used.<\/p>\n<p>\u00abDoes anyone really believe that the mysterious UAVs over Europe were (and will be) \u201cSuperkams\u201d and \u201cOrlans\u201d with stars on their wings?\u00bb said Flash. His comments highlight the risk that a drone\u2019s appearance or markings could be used to mislead people as to its actual origin.<\/p>\n<h2>Simulation as an element of information influence<\/h2>\n<p>The use of refurbished captured <a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/analitika\/shi-drony-ukrayiny-zminyuyut-hid-viyny-proty-rosiyi\/\">UAV<\/a> It may serve both practical and propaganda purposes: a drone bearing Ukrainian markings could be used in attempts to shift the blame for the attack or to cast doubt on who carried it out. This is precisely why identifying drones requires an assessment not only of their markings or silhouette, but also of the circumstances in which they were deployed.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Russia may be disguising its provocations as Ukrainian attacks by using refurbished, captured drones bearing Ukrainian markings.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":207433346,"featured_media":26240,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rank_math_description":"\u0420\u043e\u0441\u0456\u044f \u043c\u043e\u0436\u0435 \u043c\u0430\u0441\u043a\u0443\u0432\u0430\u0442\u0438 \u043f\u0440\u043e\u0432\u043e\u043a\u0430\u0446\u0456\u0457 \u043f\u0456\u0434 \u0443\u043a\u0440\u0430\u0457\u043d\u0441\u044c\u043a\u0456 \u0430\u0442\u0430\u043a\u0438, \u0432\u0438\u043a\u043e\u0440\u0438\u0441\u0442\u043e\u0432\u0443\u044e\u0447\u0438 \u0432\u0456\u0434\u0440\u0435\u043c\u043e\u043d\u0442\u043e\u0432\u0430\u043d\u0456 \u0437\u0430\u0445\u043e\u043f\u043b\u0435\u043d\u0456 \u0434\u0440\u043e\u043d\u0438 \u0437 \u0443\u043a\u0440\u0430\u0457\u043d\u0441\u044c\u043a\u0438\u043c\u0438 \u043e\u0437\u043d\u0430\u043a\u0430\u043c\u0438.","rank_math_title":"\u0417\u0430\u0445\u043e\u043f\u043b\u0435\u043d\u0456 \u0443\u043a\u0440\u0430\u0457\u043d\u0441\u044c\u043a\u0456 \u0434\u0440\u043e\u043d\u0438 \u0420\u043e\u0441\u0456\u044f \u0437\u0430\u0441\u0442\u043e\u0441\u043e\u0432\u0443\u0454 \u0434\u043b\u044f \u043f\u0440\u043e\u0432\u043e\u043a\u0430\u0446\u0456\u0439","rank_math_focus_keyword":"\u0443\u043a\u0440\u0430\u0457\u043d\u0441\u044c\u043a\u0456 \u0434\u0440\u043e\u043d\u0438","td_subtitle":"","subtitle":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[806815],"tags":[806810],"class_list":["post-26241","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-viyna","tag-dron"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26241","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/207433346"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26241"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26241\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":26242,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26241\/revisions\/26242"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/26240"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26241"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26241"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26241"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
