بررسی چند ادعا درباره پهپاد شاهد و تقابل آن با اف-۱۵

Publisher’s rating: هر چند شاهد-۱۳۶ واقعا می‌تواند بر اساس مسیر از پیش برنامه‌ریزی‌شده تغییر جهت و ارتفاع دهد و سرعت پایین آن نیز رهگیری با جنگنده را دشوارتر می‌کند؛ اما این ویژگی‌ها به معنای مانور واکنشی، فرار هوشمندانه از رهگیر یا ناتوانی جنگنده در انهدام آن نیست.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was killed in a Russian airstrike.

Publisher’s rating: False

The review found no credible evidence that Zelenskyy was killed and says official communications and public appearances showed he continued performing his presidential duties. It also found that the viral video showed explosions in Tianjin, China, on August 12, 2015, rather than an attack in Ukraine.

Reports claim a Russian airstrike targeted a secure location in Ukraine, allegedly killing President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Publisher’s rating: False

DW reports that Zelenskyy posted a video of a meeting with OECD Secretary-General Mathias Cormann, and that the OECD confirmed the meeting took place. The review also says the explosion video came from the 2015 Tianjin warehouse explosion, not Ukraine, and that a scan of major Ukrainian news sites found no coverage of the alleged incident.

ادعاهای کیهان درباره «تسلیم آمریکا و اسرائيل»؛ گزارش‌ها از خسارت‌های جنگ چه می‌گویند؟

Publisher’s rating: گزارش روزنامه کیهان با عنوان «آنچه آمریکا و اسرائیل را به تسلیم واداشت؛ انگار گنبد آهنین را خاموش کرده بودند»، بر برخی واقعیت‌ها استوار است، اما اغلب بدون ارائه زمینه کامل، با تعمیم‌های نادرست یا عباراتی اغراق‌آمیز بازتاب یافته‌اند.

The CID is investigating former Army Commander Shavendra Silva over the alleged Mullivaikkal massacre and missing gold stock.

Publisher’s rating: False

The review says the Police Media Division confirmed that no investigation had been reported into the alleged Wellamullivaikkal killings, and Silva denied the claim. For the separate missing-gold allegation, police said no report had been received of an investigation targeting Silva and Jagath Dias; the review also says the posts imitating news outlets were fabricated.
