Reminds me of what the allies did in WW2. From halftracks with loudspeakers and firecrackers to rubber tanks and empty tents. Decoys can be very effective, hope they are working well.

There's a story of the royal air force dropping a single wooden "bomb" on German decoy planes just to make fun of them.

If I recall correctly...they waited for the German decoy to be finished and then they dropped the wooden bomb.

I'm still waiting for a movie on this.
Maybe by Guy Ritchie, or someone like this.
