YouTube Description
as posted by the channelDeception has been a part of warfare since the very beginning, but it is evolving to truly epic levels. Inflatable tanks with their own heat signatures, mannequins wrapped in electric coils, false radio signals, and even flying dummy drones are changing the battlefield in Ukraine and elsewhere.
The United States military is lagging behind. In a future fight, troops will need a lot more decoys, support units, and information warfare backup to make them effective.
In this video, we break down how decoys and deception actually work, why they’ve stayed effective even with modern sensors and drones, and what the U.S. is starting to relearn in training.
