Russian factory tricks Ukraine's defense with foam-drone combo strategy
Russian military facility introduces new attack method using thermobaric drones hidden among foam copies. This strategy aims to exhaust Ukraines defense resources by forcing response to multiple targets
A tech-forward plant in central-Russia developed a tricky war-time strategy: placing deadly thermobaric drones among groups of foam look-alikes (which makes defense quite hard for the opposing side).
The military-industrial complex named this plan “Operation False Target“ — its main goal being to make Ukraine spend lots of defense items on both real and fake threats; this creates a big problem for the countrys resources. A source with direct knowledge of the production process shared these details with reporters.
Viktor Petrov‚ a Ukrainian tech-specialist who tracks these machines from his custom-made van confirms the info: “We see large groups of objects on radar but dont know which ones are real“. His team has to deal with this new challenge daily – checking each target takes time and uses up costly anti-air ammo.
The foam copies look just like real drones on radar screens; this makes it hard to spot actual threats in time. The Russians use cheap materials to make dozens of fake targets that fly together with one or two dangerous ones
