Paintings of balloon tanks and helicopters… Is Israel falling into the trap laid by Iran?

Iran Using Inflatable Decoys Tanks: These days, not only real weapons but also balloons and paintings have become the topic of discussion in the battlefield of Middle East. It is being claimed that Iran has deployed dummy paintings of aircraft and balloon tanks on the ground to hide its real military strength. Seeing the video going viral on social media, people are raising questions on the uselessness of Israel’s missiles worth crores. This is ‘dummy warfare’ It is believed to be a deliberate strategy to confuse the world’s most modern radar and missile systems.

Missiles and minor paintings worth crores

In the video shared on social media, it is being said that the planes destroyed by Israel were merely paintings on the ground. Usually, the price of an Israeli missile is around 3 million dollars i.e. around Rs 25 crore, which Iran is wasting in nominal expenditure. Users argue that if they were real helicopters, their wings would have flown after the explosion, but everything there appeared to be as stable as before.

Millions of balloon tanks came from China

There is talk that Iran has ordered more than 9 lakh balloon tanks and missile launchers from China to mislead the enemy. These dummy tanks have been made with the help of wood, rubber and thermal paint so that when seen from above, they look like real military equipment. This type of ‘optical illusion’ This makes it difficult for the enemy’s expensive radar systems to detect whether the target is real or fake.

Do experts agree with Iran?

However, many defense experts do not consider these claims of Iran to be completely true and call it only a part of psychological warfare. He says that it is an almost impossible task to deceive the thermal sensors and shadow of modern missiles with just a simple painting. To keep its real fighter planes safe, Iran has hidden them in underground tunnels and kept only dummies above.
