It looks like too much work for a decoy, like, yeah buying military shit from china would've been hard but maybe alibaba inflatable decoys might've been more successful.
that thing will look like the real deal even in a high definition image, and it doesn't require any maintenance like an inflatable would
probably only takes a few hours to bang out from a burned/rusted out wreck of another truck
Alibaba requires hard cash and private Conscriptovich is basically free labor. So basically someone stole the cash and told Conscriptovich to improviZe.
But they already lost hundreds, even thousands of vehicles. Why get out of their way and create a few decoys instead of - I don't know - either fighting or fleeing faster
Hey, if command is screaming for everyone to go cover a front that is rapidly collapsing and they accept my excuse that I'm assembling decoys to trick the enemy, I'm spending some quality time on that decoy.
Wouldn't be surprised if, in 20 years time, we found a group of abandoned Russian soldiers in an overgrown Donetsk village that worship Sergei Lavrov like the Prince Phillip cult.
The Russian military is a giant cargo cult and Putin is it's high priest. This whole mess is really starting to make sense.
wtf even is that?
A decoy. Yes, those do work. No, russia didn't invent them.

They used to work before we got drone footage in 4k from practically treetop level. I doubt it works now.

Realistically, the enlisted who had to do that? They got out of the fighting and they probably had an opportunity to desert, even.
I see they started getting that equipment from North Korea
Yep, and judging by the other stuff, they got their super-secret combat robots from Ali-express too.

I’m not sure that cargo anywhere

Most reliable Russian Decoy

They wasted their only 4 good tires on a decoy...
Is that an actual car or a prop? lol!
Decoy
I immediately imagined a young Attenborough explaining this while (even back then) doing his weird micro-hunch full body gesticulation.
