Propaganda is the term what means disinformation. The purpose of the disinformation is to minimize the damages if some top-secret aircraft have been shot down. In those cases will be claimed that the aircraft was only the "hoax" or it was mentioned to send in the hands of an enemy. Those rumors, what are made in purpose, will state to claim that the STEALTH- or whatever aircraft what was sot down were "old model" or "trojan horse", what turns the public eye away from the "real stuff". This type of propaganda is meant for denying the enemy to get benefits about the wreck.
Modern military aircraft are combination what is equipped with sophisticated artificial intelligence, what can correlate the mistakes, what the pilots might do. Those artificial intelligence programs can launch chaff and flare, and begin the anti-missile actions automatically, what will decrease the stress of the pilot.
Many people want to believe, and this makes the analysis so difficult. In the real world, we must say, that human is is the toughest judge for self, but same time we are blind to our own weaknesses. Many western people want to believe, that F-15 would not be destructed or dropped by the rebellions of Yemen, but those rebels say that they are shot down F-15, what was operated by Saudi-Arabian Airforce. But who knows was the F-15 actually operated by Saudi-Arabia. There are rumors that sometimes USAF has been covered the losses by putting their airplanes to the name of some other nation.
The problem of the information of the military operations is that those operations were always colored by the propaganda, what hides the true operators and equipment what were effective in those maybe secret operations. The information warfare bases the thing that the effective equipment is in the background and in the front is the equipment, what was not so effective. And of course, we must realize, that any military force in the world doesn't show it best equipment for enemies. There is always the equipment what is reserved for the use of Russia's and USA's own personnel.
The second type of people who want to believe are the people, who want to believe, that Russian SU-35 is the best aircraft in the world, and those people want to believe, that USAF is some kind of grab. And in this situation will the rumors grow, that the dropped airplane was actually USAF operated F-15, and the government wants to deny the truth, that USAF airplanes are flying toys with full of software, and then the airplane what have been shot down starts to grow and at least one so-called "expert" will be seen to say, that the plane that was shot down was at least B-2 bomber.
The rumors are growing in the people's mind and the worst problem of those things of the information is that if somebody really wants to believe something, would that guy do everything to protect the thing, what this person believes. When this kind of person writes in some magazine, will the story go like this: The Russian airplanes were often got the position behind the other airplanes like that means that the target would be shot down straight away. The vertical and horizontal moving capacity is very important in the military aviation, and if the fighter has the laser weapon, there is much easier to shoot down the enemies. The laser can drop the enemy at any angle, and it can fire without limits of the ammunition. And if the target were pointed by the laser, it has no opportunity to escape, because powerful lasers can burn the trunk of the airplane in hundredth second. Above is the picture of Russian testbed with high energy laser weapons (Picture 1).
Or this is possible if the Russian fighters have got the laser weapons, what the Soviet Union and later Russia have tested since 1980's. In this situation would the Russian fighters capacity to shoot down any target, what they want. But when we are talking about rebels and multi-million dollar military aircraft, we must realize that the air defense missiles, what can be shot from the shoulder are extremely dangerous against an airplane, what this weapon will be pointed. The FIM-92 "Stinger" and SA-7/14 series of light man-portable missiles have revolutionized the warfare.
And they can shoot down any airplane what comes too close. Also, normal reconnaissance drones can be equipped those missiles and laser weapons, and this is the thing, what we don't want to believe. Couple of hundred dollar equipment can have the same strike- and air combat capacity than those multi-million dollar aircraft. And if any aircraft would be equipped with laser weapons, they could destroy any so-called conventional fighter. Those laser weapons are extremely powerful, and they will cut their targets in pieces.
