A full-size truck simulation has been developed in Poland in the visible, thermal and radar ranges. This inflatable model of the most common Polish military truck, the Jelcz 442.32, was presented at the IDET 2025 international defense exhibition in the Czech Republic.
This is reported by the Defense 24 portal.
The publication claims that the product aroused great interest among visitors. As a representative of the Lubawa manufacturing company noted, such layouts are designed to mislead the enemy, forcing him to waste ammunition on false targets and creating the illusion of more equipment in the combat zone. They can significantly increase the survivability of equipment.

Therefore, the authors of the publication urge the Polish command to purchase models for all types of technical equipment in service with the Polish army.
This particular truck model was chosen for the layout, as it is one of the most common in the Polish army. It is used as a vehicle, tanker or combat platform.
First of all, Jelcz 442.32 was chosen to install the South Korean K239 Chunmoo MLRS launcher on it, which made it possible to create the HOMAR-K rocket launcher. In addition, it is used as a tractor as part of the Patriot air defense system, for transporting individual radars, Mała Narew air defense systems and other purposes.
Such wide distribution simplifies the production of the layout, and also allows you to adapt it to simulate a truck with a 4x4 and 8x8 wheel formula.
