Yeah besides that, Russia is very big on fake news and misdirection themselves. It makes total sense to turn their own trick back on them. Remember when they shot down MH17 and fabricated all sorts of fake radar images to pretend it was shot down by a Ukrainian fighter?

And yeah really good idea to scare the shit out of their soldiers to undermine morale. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to have had much effect.

The readings from a few sensors really have no importance compared to your civilians being systematically executed like in Bucha.
