2. That’s really not news.

3. The ole switcheroo!

4. Ah yes, when all else fails the Blazing Saddles strategy

5. (Ssshhh. Maybe don’t publish that.)

6. The US used inflatable decoy tanks in WW2.

7. Dummys for the dummys.

8. I wonder if the Russians are doing that too.

9. Germans tried a similar tactic, the British dropped a wooden bomb on them.

10. This is in direct relation to a previous report by David Axe – https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidaxe/2024/07/03/for-a-third-day-in-a-row-russian-drones-and-rockets-struck-a-ukrainian-airfield-hitting-priceless-aircraft/

    This article is disputing that report, claiming that the aircraft in question were decoys.

11. If this is being publicized in the middle of a war where this strategy could still be useful, is this actually the truth or propaganda?

12. I love it when everyone knows our really deeply secretively national security’s tips tricks etc 🙄 that’s not journalism—that’s dangerous

13. US made an entire factory disappear during ww2

14. And so do the Rusians, and every army in the world. How is the use of decoys “news”?

15. Operation Fortitude niiiiice

16. I hope Russia doesn’t read this post.

17. Decoys are worth using for this specific purpose. Actual airplanes are quite expensive, so even a well detailed decoy is worth using if it draws expensive missile strikes to itself.

    In fact, Ukraine should absolutely fill every place with legit looking decoy F-16’s and decoy hangars, with so many of them that Russia cannot afford to attack all of them with missiles.

18. I did this once in c&c red alert.

19. Patton’s Ghost Army returns.
