The war in Ukraine has created a surge in demand for weapons and apparently also for inflatable fake armaments that can be deployed as decoys.
A Czech company inflates is producing more than 30 different inflatable military decoys, ranging from tanks and armored vehicles to aircraft and howitzers.
They also offer decoy versions of u.s.-made himars rocket systems that were among the billions of dollars in western military aid that has helped Ukraine's war effort since Russia launched its invasion just over a year ago.
The decoys that originally were developed for training purposes can cost up to USD100,000 each.
