Yep, Russia’s Still Using Those Inflatable Tanks and Weapons [Military]

You’d think after word got out about their inflatable decoys several years back, the Russian military would’ve changed tack. It doesn’t seem to be they have got-unless they fooled the BBC , who filmed a video of a tank in ” action.”

Of course, after I say a tank in ” action” , I mean they recorded it being inflated and arising to its life-size stature-because that’s the entire inflatables are capable of. They’re meant to be decoys, able of tricking enemies flying overhead into thinking that the Russian might is more powerful than it actually is.

Photos of blow-up silos , convoy trucks, bunkers-even radio towers!-suggest that every one isn’t always as it kind of feels in Russia, but when a blow-up tank costs 100 times lower than the genuine thing (and only weighs 90kg), that you would be able to hardly blame them for enjoying the usual game now, can you?

Unless their big show and tell for the BBC was just a cover-up…[ BBC Video ]
