Ukraine is massively supplying dummies of weapons so that Russian invaders can hit false targets.

Demand for counterfeit weapons systems has surged as defense forces on the front line face increased Russian strikes and dwindling supplies from the West. The Telegraph writes about this.
It is noted that only one company built more than 200 models of the Stugna portable anti-tank system and two D-20 guns. These “weapons” have already been deployed at the front. The cost of one such false ATGM is about 1 thousand UAH.
The media notes that craftsmen also received orders to make a model of the Patriot anti-aircraft missile system. Its cost will be about 10 thousand dollars.
In addition, as The Telegraph writes, in Ukraine they imitate Starlink systems, which are also attacked by Russian occupiers. Fake terminals are placed next to real ones to confuse Russian intelligence assets.
Let us recall that last summer the Metinvest company transferred 250 iron mock-ups of military equipment to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The Russians used high-precision shells and Lancets on the dummy, believing that this was real military equipment.
