One of the bombers even has wheels to make the decoy more realistic.

The Russian military, to divert the attention of Ukrainian drones, began to draw silhouettes of Tu-95 strategic bombers at the Engels airbase. This was reported by The War Zone.
Planet Labs satellite imagery shows two-dimensional decoys at the Russian airbase in Engels. These silhouettes may have been cut from fabric, but they were most likely made from paint.
They even depicted wheels on one of the planes to make the decoy more realistic.

Perhaps, in this way the Russians want to deceive the satellites and interfere with Ukrainian operations. The publication believes that this clearly will not work, because even in high-resolution commercial satellite images it is possible to clearly distinguish a drawn silhouette from a real one.
We remind you that on the night of December 26, explosions took place at Engels airport, where Tu-95 and Tu-160 bombers are located.
Satellite images appeared after Engels’ attack
