    Thread - So the Russian MoD is claiming there's something dodgy about the lighting in the videos, but it's just misinterpreting the shadows and objects. I'll explain how. 1/

        The Russian MoD uses the following images to claim the white part of the cabin on the top right shouldn't be visible in shadows. In the second image we see the white part of the top of the cabin turn black when it enters the shadow, but the top right part doesn't 2/pic.twitter.com/uNQHNLZ9az

        But this is based on the idea the top of the truck that goes dark is white, but it's not. It's a dark band that's reflecting sunlight making it look white in the low quality footage, and without the reflecting light it's much darker. Here's an earlier photo of the same truck. 3/pic.twitter.com/shqwNDbezY

        In the HD version of the video the Russian MoD presented you can see this effect clearly as it passes the camera. Clearly Russia's "experts" don't have a clue what they're talking to, and don't have access to the same original source material we have. 5/5pic.twitter.com/UZYGIkg6Tb

        By claiming video was faked Kremlin lowered itself to the level of some mh17 truthers. They were proven wrong years ago.
