Russia's helicopters are screwing up its attempt to fool Ukraine with decoys by landing on its fake painted fighter jets: intel

• Russia has a history of painting decoy aircraft at its bases in an attempt to trick Ukraine.
• Britain's defense ministry identified this deception strategy at one base in Crimea.
• But Russia parked a helicopter on top of the decoy at the base, undermining the entire tactic. 

Russia has been painting fake fighter jets on the ground at many of its airbases, a relatively simple tactic apparently meant to trick Ukraine into targeting the decoys instead of the real deal.
