Citizen Benzocaine"Defense executives plan to meet at White House as strikes on Iran diminish stockpiles"
that's good, right?
so the potential outcomes are: weapons manufacturers stop paying out to shareholders (unlikely) OR they start shipping worse product at higher volume (likely) OR they fail to meet production targets and lose their contracts to new, unproven companies who will ship faulty product at high volume (likely) OR usa runs out of munitions (hopefully soon)
regardless, more and more iranian ordinance will sail through usamerican defenses as our shit gets worse and their shit gets better
and all the while the usa is pissing billions into the ocean while its infrastructure crumbles
something something common man experiences the end of empire when a bridge collapses and no one comes to fix it
USA/Israel fall for optical illusion, waste millions. joint forces brag about bombing Iranian military aircraft when in fact they had bombed silhouettes painted on the ground. they got looney toon'd

another source i found claims russian forces used a similar trick successfully in recent years, fascinating stuff
unsurprisingly, western sources aren't reporting on the matter much, i expect due to embarrassment
Iran employs painted decoys to mislead US, Israeli forces
Iran has reportedly adopted an unconventional deception tactic in response to attacks by the United States and the Israeli occupation regime, using painted images of military aircraft and helicopters on the ground to mislead hostile forces.
Isaac Ji Kuo@SapphicGiraffic Both Russia and Ukraine use decoys. Basically everyone uses them. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. Sometimes all they do is force the enemy to spend a little bit more time observing a real target before attacking it, which itself is worth a little something.
