Someone shared a video of a helicopter with tied down blades being hit with similar munitions, and the rotor blades do indeed stay fixed in place.
I also wonder how the smoke is supposed to appear underneath the rotors if they’re painted on the ground. And there also appears to be a parallax effect with the ground, also impossible for a painting.
It could still be a decoy (eg out of wood or other materials) but it really doesn’t look painted to me at least.
Very impressive that these ‘wood or other material’ rotors not only stay stationary during the explosion, but remain at the exact same angle throughout. Must be tied down at both ends, with something that can withstand high explosives.
Absolutely impossible that Iran could have the technology to make… Paint.

That’s why it likely was a real helicopter. This is a pretty low-powered explosion, designed to just disable the helicopter. Here’s a video of it on a real helicopter: https://xcancel.com/LucasGimne79974/status/2029851274955431963#m
Same lack of rotor movement.
And here’s a screenshot of the video of the explosion, clearly showing smoke going underneath the rotors:
I don’t think Iran has the tech to make paint float in the air ánd survive an explosion.
“same lack of rotor movement”
Shares video of rotors moving
“Clearly showing smoke under the rotors”
144p video
Come on man it’s like you’re not even trying to earn your payment
Don’t believe your lying eyes I guess. A shaky 144p video is definitely proof the rotors stayed perfectly still though.
I was hoping the video would show a clearly painted image but the visual evidence just doesn’t support it.
