Yes, Russia is using old tires to protect its strategic bombers from Ukrainian drones.

Russia is covering aircraft with car tires, potentially to protect them from Ukrainian drones

This is the same sort of technology that gave us the recent Luna-25 lunar lander. 😝

All Ukraine has to do is use infrared cameras – if they're even really needed. The burning tires will only make the fires harder to put out.

If the Russians ever need to use those planes in a hurry, they're going to fall behind schedule by having to remove those tires.
