    HIMARS Decoys

    Apparently the Ukrainians knocked together some decoys out of wood that attracted Russian precision munitions.



    In David Irving's biography of Rommel, he describes an episode where Rommel was angry that Flak 8.8 cm cannons were attracting British shelling. (The cannons were the primary German tank killer in the Western Desert at that time.) Except that these were decoys knocked together by the Italians out of telegraph poles with camouflage paint.

    War is deception.

    Ukraine: Ha Ha. That ploy was used in WWII. They somehow build (pretty realistic looking) rubber tanks.
