Russia embarrassed by inflatable plane at military exercises in Belarus

During one of the reports, a recording was shown in which you can see an inflatable model of the Su-33 fighter jet, but it was not fully inflated.

Such blunders are still somewhat of a surprise, because the Russians pay a lot of attention to this kind of propaganda material, and it's surprising that no one paid attention to the blown-up plane — and the internet doesn't forgive such blunders.

This is a multi-role carrier-based fighter aircraft that was developed in the Soviet Union based on the Su-27 aircraft. The aircraft entered service in the mid-1990s and features a reinforced design with folding wings.

The aircraft carries a 30mm cannon, various air-to-air missiles, as well as bombs and rockets, reaching a payload of 6.5 tons. Its primary mission remains air defense of the aircraft carrier, but it can also engage ground and surface targets, and has been used in combat, in particular during the Russian intervention in Syria.
