These are Tanks that Ukraine hopes Russia Would Destroy

How drone operators could estimate the weight of a decoy by just looking at it, why Russians build fake camps of theatrical proportions that are extremely easy to spot by Ukrainians, how candles were used to trick the enemy into wasting their ammunition, and why Russian decoy tanks are nicknamed Rubber Product #2, is #NotWhatYouThink #NWYT

This is important for strategy so you know how far away you need to space your critical facilities so you can determine how many ICBMs you need to intercept for a region to have a probability of remaining functional after the attack.

Now using mostly intact but otherwise non-functional/unrepairable equipment as decoys is a damned good idea. A bit of welding, some paint, and some weathering, and it will look like its operational. Example: shell of a tank with internals/engine removed. used anti-tank tubes on faked emplacements, etc.

The first time decoys made a massive change was during the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia. Back then, wood models of airplanes were made in 1:1 scale, painted with original paint (MiG-29) and the engine "exhaust" was made of one metal barrel cut in two. Also, the wooden model would be padded with tinfoil and fires would be burnt in cut barrels at the back. That way, it would have both radar and heat radiation making it pretty much impossible to see as a decoy. Also, false radar positions with fake radiation sources were made in order to divert HARM missiles from real ones. And so on...

And you can pretty much guarantee that AI models will include decoys in their training as real targets, because it's already hard for humans to distinguish between real and decoys. We'll probably see a transition to more complex decoys as weapon systems start to have multi-sensor integration. Right now, very few weapons or platforms will analyze targets with radar, IR, and visual.

So I’m Ngl based on how the internet tells me about the Russia Ukraine war, Ukraine is holding out pretty damn well. I get the feeling that in Ukraine they are being incredibly strategic to make up for Russia being a colossal enemy that highly outnumbers them. But by the media they post, their soldiers have very high morale. However I also feel that Russia is now beginning to make its dent on Ukraines forces and should soon overtake them. Definitely at a bigger cost than it’s worth what with I believe hundreds of thousands of casualties.
