A group of arms control researchers have determined that two images released by the Russian government, ostensibly to help clarify why a civilian airliner was shot down two years ago, were digitally altered using Photoshop before being posted online.
Parts of one Russian military satellite image simply vanished, according to researchers at the Middlebury Institute for International Studies at Monterey, in California, behind a suspect-looking cloud.
In another image, two chunky, tracked antiaircraft weapons appear in sharper focus than the surrounding landscape, the researchers said in the report posted online on Friday.
