I suppose all the planes where fully tanked up and ready to fly in order to be so flammable. I wonder if the damages would be so bad if a plan would be empty of fuel ?
Also, why do they put tires on top ?
Some have theorized the tires disrupt object recognition in aerial imagery analysis (and possibly munitions or drone targeting). Obviously that didn't work here as the targets were already known and visually confirmed.
It’s not just a theory. The US military has confirmed that is what they are trying to do:
That seems like a trick that only works the first time
Maybe maybe not. Camo is just about playing the odds, nothing works from every angle or circumstance. If tires on wings means 5% more planes survive it's probably worth it.
Wonder why they keep all the planes the same color if that is what they are trying to do. The drones just have to target the specific Pantone.
