Russia is trying to cut corners when it comes to military spending by developing inflatable tanks and other armaments meant to impede and perplex enemies.
Inflatable tanks have been around since WWII, but the modern ones being made for the Russian army have much more detail, as well as features designed to fool modern technology. These unmanned stationary tanks have built-in heat sensors engineered to make them show up on thermal radars as well as regular radars.
