Ukrainian soldiers display a U.S.-made M777 howitzer model to simulate firing and lure drones into attacking.

On the Ukraine-Russia front, Ukrainian soldiers have demonstrated a U.S.-made M777 towed artillery model. This model is relatively detailed and can simulate the smoke and sound of artillery firing, creating the illusion of an actual attack. Additionally, it can generate an infrared signature by heating the model's barrel, luring enemy drones to attack it. However, this device has become less effective in the current battlefield environment. Although the model is made with some precision, it still differs significantly from real artillery. Suicide drones now have higher-resolution cameras that can easily identify the model as a fake target. The production of such models is time-consuming and costly, making it more of a loss than a gain.
