Russia: Dummy tanks for the Russian army fool enemies

Factory workers inflate imitation tanks in a factory in Moscow on Wednesday. Produced by Rusbal, the tanks contain simulators that produce radar and thermal radiation, which closely mimics similar characteristics of actual Russian tanks. Airtight material covers the simulators, power units and fans over a thin frame, all of which is inflated in under 10 minutes. Lookalike inflatable tanks are meant to act as decoy targets for enemy weapon systems, helping to protect real military hardware from destruction. Rusbal has been making inflatable products since 1993 with their most sophisticated products going out to their Russian military clients.
