Near Moscow, the exercises of the 45th engineering and camouflage regiment of the Russian Armed Forces were held, during which the military tested unusual inflatable equipment, the Zvezda TV channel reports. At the same time, the maneuvers of the "inflated" troops caused concern in a number of Western media, including the British The Sun.

The exercises, which took place in the Moscow region, involved inflatable tanks, anti-aircraft missile systems and aircraft, in particular a model of the MiG-31 long-range interceptor fighter and the Su-27 fourth-generation multi-purpose heavy fighter. According to the legend, all the weapons were placed in the forest at a supposedly secret airfield in order to disinform the imaginary enemy and force him to attack false targets.

All the equipment is not only made in compliance with all the proportions that ensure the realistic appearance of the "deceptions", but also with the use of special materials that create the same radiophone in inflatable models as in real samples. At the same time, you can deploy such a grouping in the right place quite quickly: you can inflate the equipment in a few minutes, notes Zvezda.

In turn, The Sun writes that Russia is testing inflatable tanks and planes to be able to deceive the West amid rising tensions in Ukraine. Of particular concern is the fact that such maneuvers are held in parallel with the exercises of the Russian Navy in the Black Sea, according to the British publication.

On April 22, Russia began large-scale exercises of its Armed Forces in the Crimea. It was reported that a total of 1.2 thousand units of weapons and military equipment from the combined arms association of the Southern Military District, the Black Sea Fleet, the Caspian Flotilla and formations of Airborne troops are taking part in them. In particular, more than 40 warships and 20 support vessels are involved in the maneuvers.
