"Inflatable decoys are the most realistic and flexible decoys available. Our modern dummy targets have advanced pneumatic systems, making their visual signature and other characteristics indistinguishable from the real thing even to the modern detection systems of aircraft or satellites."





"Founded in 1992, Shape International, Inc is a world leader in the research, development and manufacture of simulated military target equipment for the industry. We specialize in inflatable simulated targets satisfying the needs of legitimate defense clients worldwide"

"Utilizing cutting edge camouflage technology, Shape provides its customers with beyond state-of-art simulated target equipment. Innovative development allows Shape to achieve unprecedented unprecedented and extraordinarily realistic camouflage and target simulation for a variety of strategic defense applications."

"Unlike traditional camouflage, the purpose of decoys is not to conceal forces and equipment, but to divert the enemy from the actual target, which is a proactive defensive strategy in modern war."

"Military decoys, simulated or dummy targets, can effectively deceive the enemy, reduce damage to real equipment and fortifications, enhance survivability and gain the initiative in battle."

"In World War II, Allied forces set up more than 500 false cities, bases, airfields and shipyards in the United Kingdom consisting of dummy structures that resembled actual buildings and military equipment. These remarkable dummies, built in remote, uninhabited areas, significantly diminished the damage to actual cities and fortifications by causing the Axis forces to waste their time and resources."

I suppose people who work the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade would be natural recruits.

Are you telling me these balloons wouldn't send an enemy running in absolute terror?
