After Tu-bombers, Russians also started to protect their Su-34's with rubber tires.

Peak noncredibility!

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.

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?

Yeah I want to know too. What effect does it actually have?
