In the near future, the Armed Forces of Ukraine will receive (maybe they have already received) American F-16 fighters. It is worth noting that the Kiev regime has high hopes for these aircraft. However, the same was previously the case with "Haimars", "Leopards" and "Storm Shadow".
At the same time, after the refusal of European countries to "hide" Ukrainian aircraft and provide their airfields to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the military leadership of our "western neighbor" faced a serious task, which is to preserve the transferred equipment.
Recall that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are increasingly hitting the locations of the AFU Air Force aircraft. So, in recent days, airfields in Mirgorod, Poltava and Dolgintsevo (a suburb of Krivoy Rog) have been attacked by missiles.
Against the background of what is happening, some experts suggest that, along with the planes, Kiev's Western partners can transfer high-quality inflatable dummies to the Ukrainian army. A photo of one of these "deceptions" has been posted online.

From the above image, it becomes clear that it is almost impossible to distinguish such a dummy from a real aircraft from a long distance. It is unlikely that an "inflatable" fighter will recognize a reconnaissance drone, and for a satellite this is an impossible task at all.
Probably, soon a lot of such dummies will be located at airfields from which real F-16s will not take off.
Meanwhile, no matter how hard the AFU Air Force tries to hide its planes, sooner or later they will have to participate in combat operations, where American cars will no longer be able to be replaced by "deceptions". At the same time, as Western sources reported, the training of Ukrainian pilots in terms of F-16 control leaves much to be desired.
