Ukraine has deployed a fleet of dummy Himars across the battlefield to trick Russian forces into wasting expensive long-range weapons on pointless targets.
The decoy versions of the US-supplied rocket launcher systems have drawn fire from at least 10 Kalibr cruise missiles fired by Moscow’s naval fleet in the Black Sea.
Russian drones were said to be unable to distinguish between the wooden dummy targets and the real deal when scouting the battlefield for Ukrainian targets.
#Ukraine: The Ukrainian Air Force has released video showing for the first time ever US-supplied AGM-88 HARM anti-radar missiles being fired from their MiG-29 jets.
They seem to be fired in pairs from the inboard pylons where R-27 AAM would otherwise be carried. pic.twitter.com/o0OMTiwnow
