Peak noncredibility!
When are they going to retire this tactic?
Seems like they’ll tread lightly so we’ll have to wait and see.
It might be to obfuscate the thermal image from the air. Not sure about that one btw, just a guess.

Dont tires burn pretty well?
Yes, I know what you’re thinking.
Shit just got wheel.

does it work?
I don’t think so, but I’ll let you decide.
Russian military channels write that the tires on the planes are unfolded to hide from some satellites that can take a picture regardless of weather conditions. @informnapalm
They were already using them underneath, those do fine. Why not try them on top?
ROFL!
Yeah I want to know too. What effect does it actually have?
At least they tired
Someone in another thread mentioned that this is often done to weigh down planes that will sit for a while. Helps prevent the wings from generating lift in high winds
When I used to work at an airport we used to tie smaller aircraft down to large concrete blocks or anchors in the ground. Using old tires doesn’t seem nearly as effective as just even using tie down screws like this.
