Modern Inflatable Decoy Vehicles?
The AFV ASSOCIATION was formed in 1964 to support the thoughts and research of all those interested in Armored Fighting Vehicles and related topics, such as AFV drawings. The emphasis has always been on sharing information and communicating with other members of similar interests; e.g. German armor, Japanese AFVs, or whatever.

I wasn't aware that this was done anymore, or maybe this is just for show, I don't know. I found these at Strange Military.Com. Anyone know what these are suppossed to be and where this location might be? _________________ SFC Jeff Button "High Angle Hell"

Hi Folks! I think it is interesting that color was used to help with the deseption. I wonder if heat is added to those areas that would be warmer that the other parts? Interesting. Sgt, Scouts Out! _________________ "You can never have too much reconnaissance." General G.S. Patton Jr.

Inflatable decoys are still widely used though during peacetime they are mainly used to train aircrew... I can remember watching a crowd of squaddies chasing a chieftain one that was being blown along by the wind at a RA Open Day on Larkhill more years ago than I care to remember.
