 Ukraine radar decoy fools Russia into missile strike. A company that makes decoys for the Ukrainian armed forces said Russia had been fooled by an elaborate fake radar array and had used up expensive ammunition to destroy it. According to Insider Media Outlet, it's the latest win claimed by MetInvest, a Ukrainian steel company that, among other things, manufactures detailed decoys for use by the country's armed forces in the Facebook post. The company said that Russian troops had struck a mock-up of a Ukrainian P-18 Malachite radar unable to tell the difference between a fake and the real thing. The company shared images of the decoy, which comes equipped with a rotating array and a camouflaged base just like the real thing, before and after the strike. Video of a missile strike began circulating on pro-Russian social media, described by one telegram group as being a successful strike on a P-18 radar in the direction of the district of Mariinsky. Insider Media Outlet Militani geolocated the site in the video with a distinctive triangular field to the Nipro-Petrovsk region bordering Donetsk, which is consistent with the telegram group's description. MetInvest did not give the date or location of the reported strike. MetInvest says it has made at least 250 fakes to lure the Russians into targeting them, including the fake M777 howitzers.
