Claims made on some social media accounts that US-owned “B-1B Lancer” bomber aircraft continue to land and take off at Incirlik Air Base are disinformation.
“Elchi” reports that Turkey’s Disinformation Combat Center (DMM) issued a statement regarding this.
“The shared images and videos are old; they belong to planned routine training activities. They are not current. They have no connection with the existing regional conflicts,” the statement said.
It was noted that presenting old images as new is a step aimed at damaging Turkey’s peace-oriented stance in the region and portraying the country as part of the existing conflicts:
“Our citizens are strongly requested not to trust claims of unknown origin outside of authorized official bodies and manipulative content intended for provocation.”
