Hundreds of replicas of various types of Western weapons have been produced in Ukraine, which were subsequently destroyed by Russian troops.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces are actively replacing their military equipment on the battlefield with dummies so that the Russians are wasting ammunition destroying the wrong targets. CNN reported this on Monday, September 11.
According to the TV channel, hundreds of replicas of various types of Western weapons have been produced, which were subsequently destroyed by Russian troops.
“War is expensive, and we need the Russians to spend money using drones and missiles to destroy our decoys,” an anonymous representative of a company that makes dummies told reporters. “After all, drones and missiles are expensive. Our models are many. Cheaper.” .
So, according to him, the British-made 155-mm M777 howitzer used in Ukraine costs several million dollars, and its replica is created from ordinary sewer pipes for less than a thousand dollars.
The reporter said that at first the models were quite rough and, if the dummies did not attract the attention of the enemy for a long time, the engineers returned to the drawings to redo them.
He added that the company does not count the number of decoys produced, but the number destroyed. And the more they are, the better.
We remind you that in September a video appeared showing plywood panels flying during an attack on the fake IRIS-T.
