CNN journalist Gianluca Mezzofiore published a satellite image of Machulishchy airfield, which he claims was taken today, February 28.

The image shows A-50 AEW&C aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces.

What's in the image? There are significant changes in the color of the wings and "mushroom" of the A-50 AEW&C aircraft

First of all, we can say that the aircraft is relocated, its usual park spot is empty (red arrow), the AEW&C aircraft is in another place. The last time the aircraft took off was on February 22.

Second, a comparison of the satellite images of February 19 and 28 clearly shows that the A-50U AEW&C aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces has changed color.

Comparison of A-50 AEW&C aircraft

It looks as if the aircraft had been polished before repainting. We are not making any definite statements at this time, but it could also be a consequence of the fuselage being burned.

A significant change in colors can be seen on the wings and on the rotodome with the Shmel radar.

Comparison of Il-76 aircraft

At the same time, if we compare the appearance of the Il-76 aircraft of the Belarusian Air Force, which, by the way, stands in the same place, there are no visible changes in color/paint (for example, because of the snow).

We recall that back on February 26, we wrote that the attack could have been carried out «by dropping an unidentified object from a height,» such as a combustible mixture.
