Plastic, wood, foam and metal are skillfully shaped into copies of weapons to fool Russian attackers The Guardian: link |

So far we have given them over $300 USD for every man, woman and child in our country and they are building models? |

I think we're mostly giving them weapons, not money. |

Both sides are actively using mock weapons to deceive the enemy. This is natural, especially given the huge number of combat and reconnaissance drones.
In Russia, there are special engineering camouflage military units. They are used to mislead the enemy. The layouts that they use imitate not only the appearance, but also the various radiations characteristic of such military equipment.
Of course, now you will not find information about their deployment in the public domain. But they are certainly widely used in the conflict zone. link

Editor in Chief Bill, and what do they live on? How much is left of their economy now? |

Bill, we are giving them weapons, intelligence and a lot more. It still cost each American a lot of money. Sorry but we could fix a lot of problems here with 50 billion in aid and another 24 billion pending. Its still all our money. Somebody paid for those weapons…yep…we all did. |

During WW2, in the days leading up to the invasion, the allies used inflatable tanks and other fake items to deceive the Germans about the invasion forces. |

"and they are building models?" You do not understand CCD do you, keep to playing with toys, "How much is left of their economy now" It will be better than the fascist scum who invaded, Tally Ho! |

The Americans paid for those weapons. Now they are being used. Seems like what the US wanted when they first spent the money. Otherwise they just end up in vast desert parking lots. And I reckon the west is gaining massive amounts of real world usage intelligence to better design future weapons. So those spent dollars will generate more efficient future spend. Winner winner chicken dinner. It's resisting Russia. It's what America does. Come on, cheer up. |

And Cuprum. I'm still buying Strelets figures. But I don't buy Russian figures anymore.m, despite Zvezda making excellent models. Every little helps 😂 |

Happy for you. Apparently this gives you the opportunity to feel your involvement in the events ;-)
I can also recommend hanging a Ukrainian flag on the window of your car – this will greatly help the fight against Russian invaders … I continue to pay the Ukrainian company, which has been providing services to me for many years. I am happy to serve my clients from Europe and the USA. And I do business with partners from these countries. My toy armies interest me more than real ones))) |
