The Russian army has an inventory of inflatable weapons ranging from fake tanks to entire radar stations, according to BBC News.
The stand-in decoys are among the most advanced military decoys and are made of a special material that can deceive an enemy radar and thermal imaging equipment into recognising them as real weapons.
The inflatables are stitched at a former hot-air balloon factory and are much cheaper than real weapons.
