In the NATO armies, during combat training, the use of mock-ups of Russian military equipment acting as an enemy continues. For example, the British ground forces use fake BMP-3.

These "infantry fighting vehicles" are made in full size, generally repeat the design elements of these samples (twin guns, course machine guns, sights, headlights, smoke grenade launchers) and are easily identified during exercises at the ranges.

In order for such a "troika" to move and perform some maneuvers, it was installed on one of the modifications of the famous Japanese Toyota Hilux pickup truck.

An interesting detail is that in order for the driver to get to his workplace, there is a fragment of the side rising up on the left side.

Apparently, judging by the photographic materials, the production of vehicles imitating the enemy will continue, and the next step is the creation of models of armored vehicles, various light self-propelled artillery and machine-gun installations and, possibly, even main battle tanks similar to the Russian T-90S.

It is also interesting that the BMP-3 is located in an unreal settlement, where the necessary skills of street fighting are practiced among one-story fake houses.

Earlier it was reported that one of the Hollywood companies specializing in special effects created "T-72 tanks" for the US Army, made on the basis of mass Humvee all-terrain vehicles.

In China, at the recent international aviation and space salon Airshow China 2021 in Zhuhai, a full-scale radio-controlled mock-up of the American M1A1 Abrams was presented.

In Australia, the use of imitations of the T-14 Armata, which also have radio control, will soon begin for combat training.
