9 May 2022: The USA cannot confirm a Ukrainian attack on the frigate "Admiral Makarov", nor does Russia want to publicly prove the opposite by exposing Kiev with a sign of life from the frigate. Of course, it is also conceivable that this material was launched by Russia in order to test and keep Ukrainian and Western media busy. Why the "Makarov" video is probably a fake - but doesn't have to be - is explained in the YouTube post by "Gadget Engineering". 7 May 2022: It would be the stuff of the best fake of all time - but it seems to be true!

In mid-April, the Marine Nationale published a video about France's future aircraft carrier, the "Porte-avions de nouvelle génération" (PA-NG), which is set to replace the current "Charles de Gaulle" in 2038. Larger (305 metres, 75,000 tonnes), more powerful (30 next-generation fighters, electromagnetic launch catapult), nuclear-powered with two reactors - every navy's dream. Public relations 2.0 However, the four-minute video that went viral was not commissioned by the navy - a hobby mariner named "Rama", who is experienced with programmes and graphically adept, built the virtual images from the facts known so far, underlaid everything with ear-catching music, added a sunset - and the video was ready...
