    You and I have the luxury of not being in combat and not seeing the target for a second or two.

    In real time it might trick a pilot and as dumb as it sounds if you manage to trick a pilot and have them target paint then it’s worked.

    I like to think the prevalence e of these decoys indicates the failings of the Russian military but in fairness everyone does it.

      I think it’s more to deceive intelligence operators going over satellite images; I don’t think Ukraine are flying manned sorties with jets over Russian airspace.

        Same concept though.

        If you fool someone 1 time it’s worked, instead of target acquisition at speed replace it with target acquisition under duress and while overloaded.

      Pretty sure they are not doing this to fool enemy pilots, they are trying to trick analysts looking at satellite imagery.
