    Prior to D-Day, The Allies had inflatable tanks and trucks to disguise where the real buildup was. Pretty classical tactic.

      Those cast shadows. Look at this pic again. These idiots aren’t fooling anyone except NK blurry ass satellite.

        Or perhaps a blurry ass camera in a drone at night. You might be surprised what can work at times. At least it will cause someone to waste a bit more time studying the photos to be sure of what they are.

        i mean, with the amount of effort this took even a single quick glance resulting in a miss would be a pretty big win

        its a silly idea but theres hardly any reason not to try it

        not to mention that its probably still pretty effective in low visibility situations

      We’ve quite literally done the same thing in area 51 and quite honestly most of our test facilities and skunk works. The sr71 pretty literally had a bunch of janky designs painted around Radar testing facilities to throw off the Russians.
