In June 2023, a video circulated on Russian social media showing a drone destroying a Ukrainian tank, which was later revealed to be a decoy. Ukrainian forces use various imitations of military equipment, including plywood models of M777 howitzers, to deceive the enemy and conserve resources. Volunteers play a crucial role in creating these decoys, which are effective in drawing enemy fire and wasting their ammunition. Both Ukraine and Russia employ such tactics, with a significant portion of their military assets being imitations.
