The first time decoys made a massive change was during the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia. Back then, wood models of airplanes were made in 1:1 scale, painted with original paint (MiG-29) and the engine "exhaust" was made of one metal barrel cut in two. Also, the wooden model would be padded with tinfoil and fires would be burnt in cut barrels at the back. That way, it would have both radar and heat radiation making it pretty much impossible to see as a decoy. Also, false radar positions with fake radiation sources were made in order to divert HARM missiles from real ones. And so on...

And you can pretty much guarantee that AI models will include decoys in their training as real targets, because it's already hard for humans to distinguish between real and decoys. We'll probably see a transition to more complex decoys as weapon systems start to have multi-sensor integration. Right now, very few weapons or platforms will analyze targets with radar, IR, and visual.

Decoys make sense to me.😊

i can just imagine them making decoys more realistic by adding armament, armor, etc, until eventually the decoys just become tanks

Subterfuge and chicanery were certainly covered by Sun Tsu's (sp?) "Art of War". Some of the quasi-quotes in this video are from his work. Feigning weakness can be extremely effective. Feigning d34th can be as well. I even used these concepts in my series of books ("Diamond Dragons"); most of the battles end up being won by... well... tricks and traps. 💪😎✌️

I don’t think I’ve ever seen decoys in pop culture. Like I can’t think of a single movie or game that uses decoys (in any realistic ways). Only one Incan think of is Mirage from Apex legends, but when it comes to vehicles the closest I can think of are decoy mechanics, like ”enemy units will target this other shielded unit first”, but rarely if ever have I seen a war game with inflatable decoys.

This immediately makes me think of the Second World War, where the German tank balloons and even actively attacked with them. People really never learn from their mistakes
