Photos of stickers with the inscription “Planes with Russian Must Crash” (“Aircraft with Russians should break up” appeared on the Web, allegedly glued by Ukrainians in aircraft of various airlines. We checked whether these photos are true.

One of the first to publish photo Stickers on an airplane, there was a Russian Telegram channel "Rise". The next day, many Russian media Wrote About this, arguing that the stickers are pasted by Ukrainian extremists. In the article “Ukraine wants to blow up planes with the Russians” the publication “Komsomolskaya Pravda” Writes: “Ukrainian“ Special Propaganda ”, famous for the fierce hatred of everything Russian, broke through the next bottom. In the toilets of liners belonging to the solid airlines Lufthansa, Turkish Airlines, Bangkok Airways, stickers with a graphic image of an exploding aircraft and the inscription in English "Aircraft with Russians must break up". And so that everyone understands from whom such an ominous wish comes, a sorely leaflet is framed by a yughot-claw-linker. ” Basically, the news caused dissatisfaction of the Internetusers, which mentioned And the possible panic of air passengers caused by stickers, and the fact that passengers of other nationalities will die in the case of the crash.

Most publications about stickers were released on June 16, after the Telegram channel "Rise" Published Photos from the sides of Bangkok Airways and Victory. Despite many articles and posts, we counted only four unique photos copied from the publication to the publication. Photos from other angles were not found in any of the social networks. This fact was doubtful of the authenticity of published pictures. After all, if such stickers sagged throughout the flight on the flights of “dozens of airlines around the world”, most likely passengers of these flights would photograph stickers and post on the Internet. Nevertheless, the digital analysis of the images did not show traces of the photo collage.

As a result, we managed to find a Telegram channel UKRANIAN AIR SUPPORT, which was created on June 14th. On the same day, the channel posted file With the design of the Planes with Russian Must Crash, which exactly coincides with the images in the media. Under the file, the author of the channel wrote a call to action in English: “Download. Print it out. Stick it in the Airplane Lavatory On Your Flight. Support Ukraine from the Air. ?? " (Download. Print. Stick on the toilet during your flight. Support Ukraine from the air), as well as the explanation: “We use airplane lavatories Becay there no Cameras and You Will Never, Ever be Identified ...?” (We use aircraft toilets, because there are no cameras and you never, they never recognize).

The next day, June 15, the channel began publish The first photos of stickers in the toilets of aircraft. Within one hour - from 11:07 to 11:50 - the author posted 18 photos from the airlines of Lufthansa airlines, Turkish Airlines, Bangkok Airways, Emirates and Victory. Half of these photographs was taken on Emirates aircraft. By comparing photos of the cabs of aircraft from open sources, we were convinced that photographs with stickers were really taken in the aircraft of these airlines.

IN post For June 15 (from the Emirates flight), two photos are located nearby: one with a whole sticker, and the second - with half torn off. The sarcastic signature for the post reads: “Nice try” (“A good attempt”). Everything else on these two frames is identical: from the hygienic lining on the toilet to the folded paper packets. Such a coincidence suggests that the photographs were staged and were taken by the same person who first pasted the sticker and immediately partially torn it away to take the second photo.

The last post of the channel was published on June 17 - this is a collage of a dozen headings of the Russian media with the news about stickers in airplanes.

On call No one responded to the author to the members of the group to upload their photos of glued stickers (at least at the time of publication). Instead, the participants criticize Each publication, a campaign invented by the author and the Ukrainian people as a whole. Throughout the three -day history of the channel, it was not possible to find a single positive commentary in support of the author.

The organizers of the action are unknown. Judging by the photographs, they had access to airplanes of both foreign airlines and the Russian company Victory. June 15 Twitter Terror Alarm wrotethat the German authorities suspect the Russian special services of sticking stickers in Lufthansa aircraft. Thus, Russia is allegedly trying to "create a false impression that Germany is returning to its genocide xenophobia of the Second World War." We did not find any official statements from the German authorities or representatives of airlines.

Thus, it is not known, no one created the Ukranian Air Support channel, no one pasted and photographed stickers. But it is safe to say that photographs of stickers in airplanes are not fake, although most likely staged.
