It's the enemy - blow 'em up!
British army could deploy INFLATABLE tanks in bid to confuse enemies on the battlefield

Blow-up models of the fighting machines could be used as decoys against enemy surveillance by satellite or drones.

The bizarre move is the recommendation of an official study that contemplated how to deal with'lack of mass' in UK forces.

They did that inflatable decoy trick during WWII, in England, during the build up to D-Day. They even gave the decoys a unit designator, and placed Patton in charge of it.

Pretty effective, from what I understand.
