A military expert has claimed that Iran is trying to confuse America and Israel by using fake models and replicas of military targets. In an interview with the Russian news agency Sputnik, military expert and air defense historian Yuri Nutov said, “Iran is actively using decoys and replicas to confuse its adversaries.”
\nAccording to Sputnik, some videos recently published on social media show that some of the Iranian drones that the US Central Command claimed to have attacked were actually dummies or replicas. In addition, some attacks by Israeli forces have also been carried out on targets that, although they looked like military equipment from a distance, were actually specially painted pictures or replicas. These pictures were made to resemble various military equipment, including helicopters.
\nAccording to experts, using decoys or fake targets to confuse the enemy during war is not a new tactic. Many countries use such methods to protect important military installations or weapons systems. According to them, such tactics can divert the enemy’s attention and hide real military capabilities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
