Fake remote control tanks will roam the battlefield and distract from the real tanks.
Ukraine has begun developing an unmanned model of the German Leopard tank, which will distract the attention of Russian invaders from real military equipment. Eduard Trotsenko, co-founder and managing director of Infocom LTD, talked about this on Espreso.TV.
According to him, an “autonomous active dummy” of a German tank is already being created on the basis of a conventional truck. By the end of the week, the company should cast the metal elements that will mimic the Leopard. It will move autonomously on the battlefield thanks to the truck and remote control system.
“The basis of such a tank will be an improved Ford car with a remote control system. Separate modules will then be added to the vehicle, which will turn the car into a realistic copy of the tank,” Trotsenko said.
Moreover, this “fake” armored vehicle can be dismantled in the field, put on a vehicle for transportation and transported to a new location.
Eduard Trotsenko assured journalists that Infocom LTD would soon demonstrate a realistic version of the German machine; This will force the enemy to expend time, effort and ammunition to destroy a decoy target.
Let’s remember, on August 1, Russian media claimed that an attack drone hit Ukraine’s IRIS-T SLM anti-aircraft missile system. However, the Russians themselves noticed that there was no explosion in the video and that the air defense missile system was shaking under the influence of the drone. As a result, it turned out that the model’s defeat was recorded on video.
And in mid-June, the Russian Armed Forces boasted about the destruction of the 2S1 Gvozdika mock-up. Russian invaders later claimed that they managed to hit the Ukrainian artillery installation using the Lancet kamikaze drone.
