Russian troops are deploying dummies on the front lines to fool Ukrainian FPV drones into futile attacks. According to The Telegraph, videos posted online show the dummies, dressed in military uniforms, lined up in a wooded area, with one appearing to be holding a missile launcher.
Most likely, the publication writes, the dummies are intended to attract and confuse Ukrainian FPV drones, potentially diverting fire from real targets.
As Keir Giles, an expert at the Chatham House think tank, noted, such decoys are in line with “a trend in warfare to become increasingly personalised – with drones going after individual targets in the form of individual people”.
Russian troops often play dead when they see an FPV drone above them, and dummies can be an effective way to sow doubt in the minds of drone operators as to whether they are attacking the right target, he added.
Ukraine also deploys decoy mannequins, which were reportedly stationed around the Kharkiv region after the area was recaptured towards the end of 2022.
Kyiv also positioned fake planes at airfields in Kryvyi Rih and Odesa in the past, as well as employing inflatable fake weapons and wooden replicas of Himars missile systems.
Ian Garner, a historian and analyst of Russian culture, said: “Any military that wasn’t using this cheap, effective tactic would be foolish.
“Decoys like this work really well – the war is extremely expensive and both sides are facing onslaughts of drones. It is cheap to procure mannequins and fake equipment to draw fire and save your men, and take out drones and artillery.”
As The Telegraph notes, decoys have been used as a key military tactic for thousands of years, but they previously focused on large vehicles such as tanks and aircraft. However, technological advances mean that military fakes are also evolving, with some equipment even simulating heat and radar signals.
At the same time, the publication notes, it is unclear whether dummies will be used in the video or whether this was done intentionally as part of a broader deception plan.
Russian forces have used decoys since the war began in February 2022, including painting aircraft at their air bases to mislead potential attackers. A Ukrainian special forces source also said that since 2022, Russian forces have increasingly used fake soldiers around Kherson.

I always knew their Army was Fake, WAGNER proved that once they started marching out of UKRAINE and on to Moscow. Glory to Ukraine, Freedom for the World
Those aren't decoys. They're North Korean soldiers, frozen in terror.
The dummies would look more realistic with them holding vodka bottles
I agree. These look like normal russian soldiers
These are north koreans,
🤣 🤣 🤣
Idiots need to stop go home Alcoholics.
They must think ukraine drones have shit cameras like russia uses!
They might fight better than the rest of the russian army……….
Decoys are better fighters then the real Russian fighters
Men would have to be a dummy to sign up for the Russian army.
😂 hopefully the dummies are smarter than the russians
Even the decoys will defect to Ukraine
They’re actually corpses!
Dummies? That’s a ruskie isn’t it?
