If the Russians capture one of those they might actually be able to cross a river
Yeah, thats why Russia is loosing the war by taking more land, big brain moment.
Don't get your hopes up. They would need to steal something to inflate it also
🤣🤣🤣
they have their own inflatables
Inflatable blow up dolls! :)
Imagine you're a soldier and you're being ordered to get in the car inside a balloon tank and drive across the battlefield
- " Imagine you're a soldier and you're being ordered to get in the car inside a balloon tank and drive across the battlefield "
I don't know but I'd assume the idea isn't drive around with these, but leave them somewhere mostly hidden. That's what real tanks do most of the time too.
No reason the car can't be remotely controlled.
Actually it needn't be a complete car just a drive train and chassis with a cage to hold up the balloon.
@@IMGreg.. Yes, but an old off-the-shelf beater car is probably cheaper and easier to get hold off than something custom built.
Don´t tell Elon Musk ... Tesla stocks would fly to the moon :)
Do they fire rubber bullets....those things can take your eye out....
Good luck to the guy driving the car
Yes, seems like the last job you like to have: being targeted like you were a tank, but having none of the armor of the tank to protect you 😂 If it was autonomous vehicle, then it would be much better idea.
Elon Musk promises they will be autonomously driven, guided by Starlink.
🤣🤣🤣
At least there is no ammunition iside to blow up.
@@dr.andreasleofaulstich4125 Just gas?
if every army was made of rubber - war might be a lot more fun (especially when fought near water...)
Bouncy castles!
@@nzs316 Bouncy castles with bouncy tanks and cars, shooting bouncy missiles.. That could be some serious fun!
@@nzs316 I got it! A bouncy Uncle Putz! He is bouncy, right?
Million dollar idea , make it a reality
Don't worry, lasers will melt everything like rubber in the future :D
the US - made WW II decoy tanks looked much more realistic than the new ones...
Well, now they just need to make the real tanks look more like the decoys.
No, the cameras were worse.
@ You sound like you're joking but I wouldn't be surprised. The inflatable tanks can't move their turret around, so when the real tanks are on the move they may implement tactics like not moving their turrets to make it harder to differentiate.
@@alexandercollyer8612 I was only half joking. Your idea is rather interesting!
@ Thanks :)
What if the opponent is already attacking with own home made decoys, then these tanks fight like Japanese SUMOs 🙄🙄
@@christinalaw3375 👉Their plans look like exactly so, I guess they just considering about the Tank to save not the rider, unfortunately 😣
That's the same company I ordered a girlfriend from a awhile back.
Did she come with a car? Or was that extra
We've all been there bro..😎
WWII trick with remote control 👍 love it!
I would rather have an inflatable doll of a hot Ukrainian or Czech female. Certainly more useful.
@@miamitrancemissions6425 🤣👍
Thank you DW for making it so so public
Yep, well done alerting the Russians. Super helpful.
@@domm6812 lol, because they wouldn't have known about this if it wasn't for this video 🤣🤣🤣
Not to worry. The Russians have put out imitation soldiers for this “special operation” complete with counterfeit generals!
Everyone uses decoys. This is no secret.
@pepoqoio doesn't cross your mind that is on purpose?
@@paolagrando5079 thought the same haha, no matter what, russians will have to look closer now
And it is even on-par with the fighting capabilities of russian tanks! Wow
You say that but the Russian tank turrets can fly and have claimed air superiority in Ukraine
@@supakritpulmanausahakul1650 jajaja funny
HA!HA!HA!HA! 🤣😂 ...that's a good one! 😆
Dummy tanks and planes were used by Yugoslav army during NATO bombing, very successfully, NATO was throwing expensive bombs and rockets on pieces of plywood with oven inside(to give heat signature). While army equipment was well hidden and suffered minimal losses. But with these new drones equipped with good camera(s), enemy can't be fooled that easily.
Yugoslav the rapist army?
yeah infra red is going to show that tank isnt that hot
@@starkistuna yes it will just heat signature will be different. Plus Russia's don't have good mass production tech to see it. China will be able to see it.
Luckily Russia doesn't haven enough or good drones, so they would be easily fooled.
Yugoslav commanders built ''tanks'' of wood and plastic sheeting, sometimes draping them with camouflage netting. To trick thermal sensors, they put metal tape or plates on some decoys and even set trays of water inside them that heated up in the sun or use a small car engine, just like a real tank would
For defensive purposes, decoys have great future potential. The M777 howitzer costs $700,000 because of titanium, but any steel mill could make a decoy that looks almost the same.
Good point. They should flood eastern Ukraine with decoy howitzers
That would be the real smart one to do... For this war..
Tanks will be easy to tell because They know this and it doesn't look real with new age optics
@@mandelorean6243 which the Russians don't have because the equipment was stolen from the tanks and sold by the higher ups. Corruption told by one of the pow's
@@mandelorean6243 The Russians don't seem to have much new age options, that why they don't attack much at night.
Everything old is new again.
not sure I'd want to be driving the car even if it's only Russians targeting the decoy
Its a inflatable civilian massacre, how convenient.
Really amazing initiative, Mr.Jarosaliv!
That's so last century, where there were only scouts to confirm the location of enemy positions.
25000 Euro's for each? need to check with the bouncy room companies.. I'm guessing they can knock em out cheaper..
Maybe there is a rental option.
Top secret - now watch this video which explains exactly what to look for. Good job DW..
yeah because they didn't know about it until just now
:D you can't possibly think the russians didn't know anything shown here, come on
Hehehehe 😁😁😁...
Very Funny 😁 😂 😀
- "Top secret"
Top secret and used since the world war one? OK... Also, how long do you think it takes until Russians have captured one, considering that they have already captured about every other type of equipment Ukrainians have? (The Ukrainians have of course captured at least en equal amount of Russian equipment.)
- "now watch this video which explains exactly what to look for"
According to the video they are difficult to tell from a real one from a distance. Seeing this DW video doesn't make drone cameras any better.
- "Good job DW"
Yes. Your comment not so much - sorry.
That's pretty clever! Yes those would be great to conceal resupply, especially if it was concealed as some type vehicle that would not draw fire!
At least the car would have heat and air conditioning maybe use Mercedes’ campers the generals would love ❤️ to participate
This is what happens when inflation rates reach record highs
Its inflatable, thanks boss. f@#$%K
Self-propelled "Quaker" gun. Now I've seen everything.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
2:57 nice claw grip, but your trigger finger position is far too high and could mean the difference between getting the KO or receiving it
And it is still more durable against a Javelin than the Russian tanks
Russian missiles will bounce right back at them XD
@@bobbuilder1382 maybe we should really be sending tennis rackets
The new Military Air Force:-
3:39,
🤣👍🏼
I was a gunner in one of the WW2 decoy tanks, we had to fire and shout Bang 💥 very loudly. 😅
I need one of these for my Chrismas reindeer display, after the war and theres extra.
I was thinking of this and already guessed they where gonna try this
That looks like T57 heavy 🧐🧐
the WWII ones looked a lot better.
They were most likely a lot more expensive and probably took longer to build.
Good enough is good enough, so if they don't need to look that realistic the it would mostly be a waste of resources :)
I think the WW2 ones might have actually been made to be able to fool spies scouting military bases and positions at a close distance. those things look like they might be able to fool somebody just 50 meters away. from a plane, they would look convincing at any angle and any distance. the new ones look like you'd need to be more like 250 meters away. the fact that they didn't even bother to make the flat suefaces flat by reinforcement is pretty pathetic. I know that the americans definitely have satellites good enough to spot those as fakes just from vidible light pictures, and probably the russians do, too. I would expect russian reconnaiscance planes to be similarly capable.
they did not contain civilian cars either, asking for trouble.
@@AnimilesYT they were also dealing with german spies in England during WWII, they got a little closer, so they had to look better.
A poorly made "dummy-tank" actually hiding a real tank underneath.. That would be nice...
this wont fool anyone anymore, good job 👏👏
*Absolutely brilliant idea!*
My bet is they're going to make a fortune once the product is further refined and their economy of scales is reached.
I seriously doubt it would fool modern reconnaissance for very long, it did work well in WW2 however.
Actually most drone/sattelite/tank etc. Mostly don't operate in spectrum of vizuals rather in infrared and others.
So it doesn't work.
Apparently you didn't watch the whole video. They talked about using heaters and metal plates to fool other sensors.
good idea!
€25.000 is way overpriced, and those WW2 decoys look SO MUCH BETTER! the czech ones don't even manage to keep flat surfaces flat, nor are they rigid enough.
Next will be rubber airport
The necessity of precision of representation is dependent on the capability of surveillance analysis, if it can spoof common drones, then it has a niche. How much does precision munitions cost,, plus value of confusion.
That price is right in line with the cost of a commercial inflatable 'bounce house' or large inflatable slide that you might expect to see at a neighborhood traveling carnival.
well, eastern Europe isn't exactly known for their manufacturing prowess. On top of that if only you knew how much the workers making these things make, and how simple of a technology it actually is, you'd cry - salaries comparable to Russia :). It is still very overpriced, but such is a military contract. The only thing extra they have compared to WW2 counterparts are the heating coils to fool heat-guided missiles and possibly cameras.
At that price and NATO countries are still buying it? Somehow something tells me that this thing must be very effective.
I think in the modern battle field you need decoys to reduce the effectiveness of ucavs and scouting in general
Brilliant !
Decoys are a part of every modern army. Tank, fighters jets, logistic veh. That's old news.
Is anyone else wondering how the guy in the car can see out the front of the inflated tank?... like when it's driving around how do they see where they're going?... because I didn't see any windows or cameras.
Great, but why don't you keep it secret instead of inviting media for an interview?
OMG OMG OMFG! Giving away 80 year old secrets anyone can watch on any old youtube connection since the inception of youtube! Nobody can defeat youtube obviously..
it wasn't a secret.
@@peterg5383 then it doesn't work.
@@Asdfgghhhjj: you know what doesn't work? your brain, little buddy. it's your brain.
@@peterg5383 Usually people only start insulting other people when they are not smart enough to come up with a proper argument.
Only if drone doesn't have heat signature scanning option.
I always loved 🥰 Czechs they always make me laugh 😂 this is actually so brilliant 👌
this kind of drones that could be send to the front lines would be awesome :D
just send one batalion with one rubber batalion and enemy possibly would aim as willingly to fakes as to regular once. Let rubbers stay a little bit off guarded and on plain fields. Maybe one missile could be more expensive than this decoy. Maybe they could be easier to repair. Maybe just radio controlled vehicles with AI in the backseat. Maybe some of them even they could be equiped with antitank missile (Javelin kind). If ignored would be deadly.
Why do the WW2 inflatable decoy's look so much better? 😂😂
A new meaning to blowing up a tank
You forgot our "hot air inflatable defence minister" in your report.
Seems fun decoy
There is a limit in what needs to be reported , but in
Switch on ultra red light to see the heat, if it shows nothing, it is not the tank... At least the one, who is not operating nor being used for more then an hour of so...
Good idea. It can make opposite army loose its arsenal before the real war
The WW2 American decoys look real. With proper cutout volumes for wheels. This expensive Czech decoy is a single large baloon
Amazing technology
never heard of thermal cameras on drones xD
need volunteers to drive these during wartime
Brilliant
Germany clearly thinking about sending balloons instead of the heavy equipment they promised... In about 8 months
This video just gave the secret away, lol!
They have been making MREs out of rubber since the dawn of time.
I need this for my car cover
quite interesting
A paintball battle, using biodegradable paint, between remote-controlled inflatable tanks powered only by batteries once the starting pistol went off. I'd pay money to watch that. (Wouldn't want to be on the endless meetings to create the rules.)
A country can enter another country to fight a war, and this country cannot go to war on the territory of the country that invades him, and the United States cannot provide such long-range weapons. Is the invaded country only beaten on their own land?
that would be funny seeing Russian targeting an inflatable tank after a Javelin attack
I would not want to be the driver of that car under the inflatable tank after it is spotted by the enemy.
LoL. Pretty sure russia never used this sort of dummy tank during this war
Bruh, there's a car under that tank 😂
15 a month? YOU GOTTA PUMP THOSE NUMBERS UP SON
But the machines leaves no tracks when it is off road.. it is not that hard to distinguish.
So these “armored” vehicles needs to be placed in tracks left by real tracked vehicles.
We force league of legends players to drive the car underneath.
no, anime fans.
Tank appears as cow is better than balloon in tank shape
LOL
Can't a IR scan reveal the material they are or are not made of?
nothing but hot air
I don't want to be that driver at the front protected by the balloon,
but the model doesnt look like any present designs
Same idea used in North Africa in WW2.
Technology have caught up. They need to fool sensors too. Lesser heat & smoke is emitted with the inflatable one.
Some write-ups in past have mentioned of half scale decoys. I don't know how effective they could be, but if you think about it, placing them in an open field, one wouldn't be able to to tell if they are half scale or not.
If it is secret DW why do you need to spread the voice? I don't get it. You are giving important information to the enemy!
I need one of those in my backyard 😂
Awesome idea, but the driver of the car should get out of the way fast.
With an inflatable one maybe the flying tank will finally be real!
If it is made to confuse the enemy why you show it online ?
I really like this. My ex was a duck hunter, and we handled decoys all the flippin time.
Unfortunately real tanks don't descend from skies to mate with inflatable ones.
Once 'dug-in' and 'camouflaged' it would be hard to tell.
Good point.
bs : Infra will look for the crew and heat from the Cummins engine.
have they also tried this the other way around. Pretending a MBT is just a truck for example
I think the US industry made that number of real Sherman tanks per month during WW2.
hope they are fire proof, that way they can just patch them up, as for bullet holes a bit of strong duck tape would work
is that 25k including the car?
Perhaps a idea for Russia to change their cardboard T-14 Armata into this one
Imagine being a president and pleading for help and your allies send you this... It's like the scene from "The Fith Element" where Corban asked for grenades in the middle of the fight but got beanbags from the deaf person.
Why are we showing this, wouldn't be better to just let them keep guessing instead of telling them outright?
The WWII stuff looked ten times more realistic than these new decoys.
Think they'll know by the track marks. But the question is who's really gonna drive these air tanks that's a straight up suicide mission
Now someone make an actual tank look like an inflatable.....
Well one bullet can be used to check the tanks now lol , if it goes in it's wrong and it bounce back well use something else lol...
I think Ukraine needs the real weapons right now.
It's not an either/or.
@ Yes I know.
A column could be pulled along with the lead, a motorized inflatable, towing a line of connected inflatables along a road, with troops with stingers hidden a distance away from the sides, knocking Russian SUs out of the sky.
i had a thought about the use of high watt lazer pointers/lazer pens.
if there are 1000 cheap lazer pointers in a city, randomly targeting enemy helicopters (just for 5 seconds each) then missile alert sensors become useless. when the real missile is launched there is no distinct warning.
Keep up the outstanding work I hope you can like double and triple your output. Maybe even some harpoon and some ballistic missiles would be awesome give Russian cause to pause
remind me of MGS game's, inflatable soldier's.
Person in car gets slammed by artillery. Can't shoot back.
