To confuse: Britain sends to Ukraine mock-ups of air defense systems

Britain sends to Ukraine is baited in the form of dummy tanks and air defense systems to confuse the Russian Armed Forces. This is reported by The Times.

Decoy tanks and air defense systems can be assembled on the front line in a few hours. IKEA-style models are used to force the Russian Armed Forces to hit false targets and waste ammunition, the newspaper writes.

Thus, the British are also trying to deceive the Russian military, making them think that Britain sent Ukraine has more weapons than it has.

"We did not have a large number of such weapons, so everything we can do to increase its number on the front line is beneficial for us," explained the squadron commander of the Royal Air Force, Lowri Simner, when her team presented the new air defense system created by the Ministry of Defense, Raven.

Together with 5 real tanks, Britain can send to Ukraine has up to 30 such models, said Colonel of the Royal Marines Ollie Todd.

"This is a way to maintain the illusion of supplies when real volumes of military aid are declining," Todd said.
