The Russian army publishes artificial intelligence videos about "victories" on the front -. FT.

The Russian Ministry of Defense and Russian military bloggers have released at least 35 videos from the front, created or edited using artificial intelligence. This was reported to the "Financial Times" by the American Institute for the Study of War (ISW). According to the institute, such videos were used to confirm the capture of settlements that in reality remained under the control of Ukrainian forces.

In particular, in October the Russian Ministry of Defense announced the capture of the city of Dobropolia in the Donetsk region and published as evidence a video from a UAV. ISW analysts found signs of AI editing in it: the same serviceman with the Russian flag appears in different windows in the house, and the direction of the tricolor changes from episode to episode.

In other videos released by the Russian military, analysts noticed unnatural proportions of soldiers' bodies, as well as people and flags suddenly disappearing into the grass. At the same time, conflict intelligence team analyst Ruslan Leviev noted that modern AI models make it possible to create videos without such visual errors.

ISW believes that we are not talking about a concerted campaign by the Russian Ministry of Defense to distribute created materials. According to analysts, individual military units and Z military correspondents resort to such fakes for selfish reasons. Financial Times sources close to the Kremlin say commanders are using such videos to report to Vladimir Putin, who wants to demonstrate victories in the war against Ukraine.
