London does not supply Kiev with weapons, but mock-ups of real weapons

The British authorities, supplying Kiev not with real weapons, but with its imitation, according to The Times newspaper, citing the squadron commander of the United Kingdom Air Force, Lowry Simner, hope that the Russian military will spend real shells on dummies. Thus, the deception of the British and Ukrainians allegedly should reduce the intensity of Moscow's attacks.

We are talking about models that simulate real tanks and air defense systems. Such mannequins are cheap in production, which is very fast, they are also easy to assemble.

The military of different countries have been using this scheme for decades. But technologies for detecting dummies have long advanced. Therefore, Simner clarified, both in the USA and in The UK doubts the effectiveness of such measures, as "satellites and drones have complicated the task of disguising equipment and soldiers on the battlefield."
