Ukraine Turning Russian Targets into Scrap in the Most Unexpected Places Dark Footage 2024-10-03 | On August 3, 2024, in the murky waters of Sevastopol harbor, a lethal game of cat and mouse reaches its climax. Ukrainian forces have their sights set on one of Russia's most important naval assets: the Improved Kilo-class submarine Rostov-on-Don.As dawn breaks over the Crimean Peninsula, the relative calm is shattered by a barrage of precision-guided munitions. Ukrainian missile forces, coordinating seamlessly with naval units, overwhelm Russian air defenses in a lightning assault. Within moments, explosions rock the harbor, sending plumes of smoke and debris into the air. The pride of the Black Sea Fleet, caught in the maelstrom, is reported to have slipped beneath the waves, taking with it years of naval engineering and a crucial strategic asset.While the sinking of Rostov-on-Don has yet to be confirmed, satellite imagery obtained in the aftermath of the attack reveals serious damage to a makeshift floating dry dock that had been hastily constructed using two barges and a roof-like covering. Reports suggest that the submarine was being worked on at this improvised facility at the time of the attack, making it likely that she sustained significant damage if not total destruction.This $300 million behemoth, which entered service in 2014, represents the pinnacle of Russia's naval modernization program. Primarily designed for anti-submarine and anti-ship warfare, the Rostov-on-Don also boasts a formidable land-attack capability. Its Kalibr cruise missiles, with a range exceeding 1,500 kilometers, have long posed a significant danger to targets throughout Ukraine and even Western Europe.

Invisible Airbases and Ghost Fighters Caught on Camera Dark Footage 2024-08-04 | As the conflict between Moscow and Kyiv drags on, deception remains a crucial tactic for both sides.On April 30, 2024, Open-Source Intelligence researchers made a remarkable discovery when they uncovered updated satellite images of the Mozdok Air Base in southeast Russia. The photographs, captured mere days earlier, showed several Su-24M/MR strike aircraft, Tu-22M3 strategic bombers, and more than a dozen military aircraft on and around the tarmac.However, some of these aircraft are far from typical, their silhouettes painted in a bright shade of white, casting no shadow on the ground below. According to open intelligence sources, and quite apparent even to the untrained eye, these are decoy aircraft meticulously painted on the ground to deceive potential adversaries.The presence of painted aircraft at Mozdok is not a new phenomenon, as reports of fake Tu-22s in the base first surfaced in January 2024. However, the addition of the Su-24 artwork is a recent development.Mozdok is not the only Russian airfield employing this tactic. Other satellite images have revealed similar mural-like warplanes at various bases across Russia and even in the occupied Crimean peninsula since the previous year.The objective of these decoys is big: to mislead Ukrainian drones that rely on basic cameras for image recognition of aircraft shapes. Many say this is clear proof of Russia's increasing concern about Ukraine's growing ability to strike deeper into their territory via long-range attacks with missiles and drones.While the use of deception and decoys has been a consistent feature throughout the war as an attempt to mislead the opposing side, Russia's aircraft paintings are not particularly convincing. Moreover, Ukraine's allies, equipped with advanced side-viewing radar equipment over the Black Sea, can effectively differentiate between real and painted aircraft, rendering the decoys much less effective than intended.Recent satellite imagery suggests that as Ukrainian long-range strike capabilities continue to expand, Moscow will likely persist in increasing the number of decoys at Russian air bases in an effort to protect their assets and maintain an element of uncertainty. While Moscow paints its illusions and the cat-and-mouse game of deception continues in Europe, another global power is taking its war games to a whole new level. Across the world, in the vast expanse of China's Taklamakan desert, a different kind of deception is unfolding - one that's not just two-dimensional but eerily life-like. ---Dark Footage showcases the most unbelievable photos and videos from history while telling the stories behind the camera.
