In social networks and Russian mass media, information that a Ukrainian drone attacked the supposedly military air base "Shaykovka," located 225 km from the border with Ukraine, is spread. These messages illustrate a photo of a broken "bayraktar," which was allegedly shot down at an air base. StopFake found out that the photo has nothing to do with the Ukrainian-Russian war. It was made and distributed in 2020 during the military conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan on the territory of Nagorno-Karabakh. This photo was first published on Facebook by the press secretary of the Ministry of Defense of Armenia, Shushan Stepanyan.

Previously, Russian propagandists repeatedly wrote about the huge number of destroyed "bayraktars." Still, at the same time, they significantly exceeded their number in the Ukrainian army and the total number of drones released by Turkish UAVs.
