We wish you good hunting.

Rumors are floating around that this is photoshopped.

Regardless, it's fairly well known that Ukrainians have been training on F-16s, anyway. So, it's either just bad reporting from the source or an attempt to discredit the source.

I think this is the photo you're referring to, and the first thing I noticed was the giant Ukraine flag over his face and right corner watermark shows up less than the allegedly photoshopped insignias. I'm not denying the possibility it's a Photoshop, but that's not convincing evidence to me. I've only found this one photo spread on Twitter that claims to use Photoshop detection software.

That is one of the photos, yes. Meh, it's not really a big deal, but it's healthy to be a little skeptical about any news, IMHO.

Hell, even that analysis photo could be fake. I'll go to the source and see if I can duplicate the results from the original photo.

It's just kind of a weird thing to photoshop...

Absolutely agreed

I got similar results, but that doesn't mean much.

For lulz, I ran this through DALL-E, but it only picked up on the flag and the tag at the bottom. (DALL-E was basically useless.)

There are a few other AI based projects that I want to use on this, but I am in the process of setting up TensorFlow on my PC now.

When I search Google Images for shots of F-16s with roundels, none have them behind the cockpit like that. They have them on the tails.

Here's a Ukrainian Air Force Su-27. It has the roundel on the tail too.
