Ukraine builds dummy weapons from improvised materials to give Russia false targets at the front. As written The Telegraph, the demand for front-line dummy weapons has risen sharply recently as Ukrainian forces face increased Russian strikes and reduced supplies.
Ukrainian volunteers are building life-size models of rocket launchers and artillery pieces from scrap materials to trick Russia into spending ammunition on false targets.
Yes, only one of the groups over the past year built more than 200 models of anti-tank guided missile launchers "Stugna" and two howitzer artillery guns D-20, which were deployed at the front. It took two months to develop the first simulated rocket launcher, and its cost was about 3000-4000 hryvnias. But since then, the production process has been accelerated to a few days, and the price has been reduced to 1000 hryvnias.
An order was also received for the development of more complex models, in particular, the model of the Patriot missile complex. Its development will cost approximately $10. The Ukrainians also create fake Starlink systems, which the Russians also attack. Fake terminals are placed next to real ones to confuse Russian intelligence.
At the same time, the soldiers of the Armed Forces point out that fake weapons are unlikely to be a solution to the problem of delays in Western aid.
"The main idea of these models is to wear out the enemy and see his position. We need real weapons because we can only win the war with real weapons."
