According to the manufacturer, thirty-five decoys, including HIMARS, are produced monthly. These decoy targets, disguised as real HIMARS, are exhausting Russia’s expensive missiles. According to a representative of the Czech company that makes fake inflatable HIMARS, the Russians have destroyed 140% more HIMARS than were shipped to Ukraine. “So it is easy to estimate that 40% will probably be some kind of decoys,” the representative from the Děčín company said. https://eurasiantimes.com/ukraine-is-guzzling-russias-inventory-of-precision-guided-missiles/

Somewhere in YouTube is a video showing a really nice home-grown plywood implementation temptingly tucked into the edge of a copse of trees.

Something viscerally satisfying about this brand of sneaky. :-)

Not least, "No humans were harmed in this dramatic recreation."

@anderspuck @Free_Press Often used by the British. Roumers have it they also used them in North Africa but the Nazies discovered it and "bombed" them with wooden bombs
