Or… now we know, that they know… Ad infinitum.

So now they have to wonder each time … dis real or blow up…

It’s already an issue. People have to guess based on the color of smoke after the boom to guess if it was real or not. White smoke only was probably a decoy. Black smoke was probably real. Both sides have been using these for at least months now.

I’d probably send a team around to places to setup decoys for a picture and then remove it. So if you later use the spot and get hit you maybe have some mind games to play.

I mean its nothing new. You could make the case of Russia passing up real f16 they think could be decoys.

As long as they’re not a children’s hospital I think they’re safe.

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.

If I recall correctly…they waited for the German decoy to be finished and then they dropped the wooden bomb.

Ghost Army!
I’m still waiting for a movie on this.
Maybe by Guy Ritchie, or someone like this.

Yes, search inflatable tank decoy. There’s several makers in the US that will sell you one
