A full-scale wooden model of an American F-16 fighter jet was discovered in Ukraine. This was reported by “Russian newspaper” (RG).
The publication notes that the model of the plane is made of plywood and could be used as a decoy. Journalists also note that the model bears little resemblance to a real plane, for example, it has no canopy and foam blocks instead of landing gear.
It is assumed that the model, covered in nets, could be sent to one of the Ukrainian airports as a decoy target for the Russian military.
