I feel like this is spoiling somebody’s OPSEC
I mean its nothing new. You could make the case of Russia passing up real f16 they think could be decoys.
I wonder if you can buy these things privately.
After the war and they aren’t needed, probably but they’ll be expensive. They aren’t just blow up things. They have heaters that properly heat and keep warm sections of the vehicle to look realistic, and things like that. There’s radar truck decoys that have a rotating scanner, for example. These have been around from both sides for a bit now.
They also have radar reflective paint.
Reminds me of what the allies did in WW2. From halftracks with loudspeakers and firecrackers to rubber tanks and empty tents. Decoys can be very effective, hope they are working well.
There’s a story of the royal air force dropping a single wooden “bomb” on German decoy planes just to make fun of them.
Piss off Santa, I want one of these on the lawn at Christmas.
Piss off? I want Santa in the cockpit! 😂
Can I buy one
Yes, search inflatable tank decoy. There’s several makers in the US that will sell you one
It looks like something out of an early 2000’s game
