Ingenuity and diversionary tactics are part and parcel of Ukraine's effort to win the war against Russia. This includes producing fake tanks and artillery pieces to trick the Russians into using their valuable real weapons to destroy Ukrainian decoys.

This is straight out of Sun Tzu's art of war: “All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when we are able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must appear inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.” ― Sun tzu, The Art of War Deception is a long honored tradition of asymmetrical warfare that can be used against a far superior force: During the Siege of Detroit in the war of 1812, Tecumseh and British Major General Isaac Brock managed to surround Detroit with their forces which were outnumbered by the defending Americans. Through an opening of the woods, Tecumseh had his native warriors march continuously two-three times more than they did in number, fooling the Americans into believing that there were thousands more Native forces than there really were, fooling the Americans into surrendering.

@keithfrancis4549 2 күн бұрын

Sun Tzu also said that above all else..."the wise warrior avoids the battle"...and also "war was the last resort and that a smart leader would explore all other avenues first"...also..."one may know how to conquer without being able to do it"...meaning boots on the ground is the last resort and that it actually indicates a failure in all other ways of exerting power and influence to bring about the desired outcome...
