Ukraine Is Using A Ghost Army Of Fake HIMARS To Trick Russian Artillery by bn365: 10:47pm On Sep 02, 2022 |
Ukraine has a new mobile weapon in its war against Russia: fake wooden missile systems. The military is fielding a large array of cheaply made stand-ins for the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System in an attempt to get Russia to waste cruise missiles. Each Kalibr missile costs about $1.2 million. In other words, Ukrainian decoys have not only drawn attention from the real HIMARS, they’ve also forced Russia to waste about $12 million in cruise missiles that take months to build. Ukraine has built a number of fake HIMARS truck-launched rocket systems. Built from wood, the fakes have cost the Russian military millions in wasted missiles. The deception operation is working so well that Russia claims to have destroyed more HIMARS than the U.S. government has even sent to Ukraine. Fake HIMARS targets have drawn the attention of at least ten Kalibr land-attack cruise missiles. 3M-14 Kalibr missiles, similar to the American Tomahawk cruise missile, are subsonic, precision-guided cruise missiles with a range of 932 to 1553 miles and a 1,000-pound high-explosive warhead. Kalibrs are launched from Russian submarines and surface ships in the Black Sea and likely fast missile boats in the Caspian Sea. https://nypost.com/2022/08/30/ukraine-building-decoy-himars-rockets-to-draw-russian-fire/ Photo: British troops manhandle an inflatable Sherman tank into position, World War II.

This is pure propaganda nonsense. This was what England was busy doing while Germany under Hitler was ravaging Europe. It took the Russians under the USSR to fight world war II and lost so many lives to defeat Hitler. US came in when Hitler was about to get defeated and all those who helped Hitler[Doctors, Scientists, etc] were given immunity in the US. RepoMan007: 4 Likes |

My Take: The West is not supplying the weapons, so they have to come up with wooden effigies of real weapons, and sell it as a win You can fact-check the info yourself and not take anybody's take on any info as gospel. If anyone believes Ukraine is winning the war because they are fooling the Russians, they will believe anything. This is what propaganda looks like. I am not in favor of the West if that's what you're implying. DerrickzB: 1 Like |

Allison012:you don't just use nuclear weapons during war, any attempt to use nuclear bomb by Russia will bring many other countries into the war. Nuclear bomb is the last resort and only when you have exhausted all means. |

From day one, the only advantage Russia really had and their main bargaining chip, was nuclear weapons and hotspots. |

Wow yet with all the fake weapons Ukraine built to trick Russia military, Russia troops are still taking village by village moving in deeper into Ukraine. Ukraine need to go back to the drawing board because their game planned since 6 months absolutely sucks. Ukraine MoD does military combat for Twitter while the Russia MOD does it for real. The counteroffensive Ukraine did last Thursday killed over 500 Ukraine troops just because of they want to make headlines 5 Likes 1 Share |

Firstcitizen:I swear I have never see a military MOD like Ukraine that always revealed it’s plan like this. Ukraine MOD will take about attacking one particular area then immediately Russia airforces will launched massive air campaigns on that area which shows Ukraine(NATO) have never faced a massive military that can beat like this before. NATO have been training Ukraine for good 9 years yet all those training disappeared within 6 months. |

Imagine an ongoing war tactics that’s been discussed on open platform like this…. I don’t believe Ukrainian Army can be that foolish to openly discuss their secret like that, instead they will let Russia keep wasting their resources… I believe this is simply one of the media nonsense to make you believe Ukraine is winning or on the verge of winning. Well…. Believe whatever you choose… 1 Like |

pol23: The problem of NATO and some western war analysts is that they forget or tend to underestimate the capabilities of the Russian KGB. This is a big win for Russia. People think Russia does not know which Himmars is fake and which is not. People forget that Russian allies like China also assist Russia with intelligence just to get back at the West. In any case, I think Zelensky is the world most stupid president. Russian initial demand is to not join NATO but now Russia has seen justification to seize more territory and not even the US can remove Russia from those occupied territories. It is much harder to occupy a territory than to regain control of a lost territory. Kherson will be NATO’s Wotaloo. 1 Like |
