Don’t worry, these aren’t real. We have not started dealing in tools of death and destruction (although we do believe in having a little fun by scaring the crap out of people we don’t particularly like).
These decoys from Russia can be easily deployed and look very real, even at relatively short distances. I believe every army should have these to keep the opponent guessing and maybe try to conserve a little ammo. Simple and easy way to achieve peace.
Hmm, maybe an inflatable watch tower on my rooftop with a sniper rifle sticking out will prevent those damn kids from ringing the bell and running away every time I get in the shower.
Then again, inflatable things have a tendency to deflate rapidly when pierced with sharp objects, like darts or bolts launched from a crossbow. On second thought, let’s stick to real armored trucks and ballistic missiles.
