I wonder if you can buy these things privately.

After the war and they aren't needed, probably but they'll be expensive. They aren't just blow up things. They have heaters that properly heat and keep warm sections of the vehicle to look realistic, and things like that. There's radar truck decoys that have a rotating scanner, for example. These have been around from both sides for a bit now.
They also have radar reflective paint.
Yeah, this will make halloween a lot easier, I bet I can get 4 kids in there.
And you thought BMW drivers were greedy in car parks
Can I buy one
Yes, search inflatable tank decoy. There's several makers in the US that will sell you one
It looks like something out of an early 2000's game
Do not make the f16 decoy into an inflatable waifu
Don't tell me what to do
Ukraine needs them. Wait until pootin is dead.
Reminds me of what the allies did in WW2. From halftracks with loudspeakers and firecrackers to rubber tanks and empty tents. Decoys can be very effective, hope they are working well.

Ghost Army!
I'm still waiting for a movie on this.
Maybe buy Guy Ritchie, or someone like this.
There's a story of the royal air force dropping a single wooden "bomb" on German decoy planes just to make fun of them.
If I recall correctly...they waited for the German decoy to be finished and then they dropped the wooden bomb.
Piss off Santa, I want one of these on the lawn at Christmas.
Found the guy getting bombed by the ruskies this winter 😬😁
As long as they're not a children's hospital I think they're safe.
Piss off? I want Santa in the cockpit! 😂
I feel like this is spoiling somebody’s OPSEC
I mean its nothing new. You could make the case of Russia passing up real f16 they think could be decoys.
Or.. now we know, that they know.... Ad infinitum.
So now they have to wonder each time .. dis read or blow up..
It's already an issue. People have to guess based on the color of smoke after the boom to guess if it was real or not. White smoke only was probably a decoy. Black smoke was probably real. Both sides have been using these for at least months now.
