Georgia’s Video of Shot-Down Spy Drone Is Forgery
Russia’s Foreign Ministry has commented on the video allegedly proving that Georgia’s spy drone was shot down by Russia’s MiG-29. A number of oddities could be found there, the diplomats said.
The video produced by Georgia to prove aggressive actions of Moscow shows a jet resembling Russia’s MiG-29 firing an air-to-air missile that destroys a spy drone.
On the video, the missile is being fired from the pylon on the wing edge, but MiG-29 has no such pylon available. What’s more, the air-to-air missile left the white trace that is common to the ground-to-air missiles, which aren’t used for such targets.
The mere landscape is interesting. It has no wide beach of sand located near the place of the crash. Instead, two big roads are seen there, but those roads could be hardly found in that particular locality.
The video is mere forgery, the experts concluded in view of all above discrepancies. Its forged nature was the reason that prevented Georgia from showing it to the sitting of the U.N. Security Council dedicated to the issue, they said.
