The photography of the Venera 11 is exactly the same of the Venera 12. Which one is correct?

• Both craft are identical, like Viking 1 and 2, for example, the Voyagers or the Pioneers. Ricnun 19:55, 8 November 2006 (UTC) reply

If the design of both satellites is the same, it's not correct to use the same photography anyways, or? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Arik z3 ( talk • contribs) 14:18, 15 February 2011 (UTC) reply

If the craft are the same design, both articles could in extremis use the same image (even of a mockup) to show the shape of the lander. Are there no free-use images of Venera 11 ? We could refer (again) to Drilling into the Surface of Venus Mitchell which has two images of the descent module. - Rod57 ( talk) 13:04, 6 January 2020 (UTC) reply

Eg Drilling into Venus says "To make more room for cloud-analysis experiments, the parachute system was reduced to just a pilot chute, a supersonic braking chute, and a single descent chute which was jettisoned at the bottom of the cloud layer (49 km). As the atmosphere thickened with depth, the craft slowed from 50 meters/sec (112 mph) to a landing speed of 8 meters/sec (18 mph)" - Rod57 ( talk) 04:45, 12 November 2012 (UTC) reply
