iran-accused-of-using-painted-ground-decoy-to-mislead-idf-strike
Noooooo faaaaair. Tricking us into bombing the ground is against the rules of engagement
THOSE BOMBS WERE SUPPOSED TO KILL PEOPLE
YOU MANIACS
PEOPLECHILDREN
Wait, is CryBiBi’s military actually whining about this?
Aside from decoys being a perfectly legitimate tactic as old as time, complaining about it is really fucking rich coming from those duplicitous fucks.
Haha, not that I’ve actually seen beyond that URL, it was just the impression it gave me when someone chooses to use “accused”
Haha that first URL ‘iran accused of using painted ground decoy to mislead idf strike’ lmao the accusations are flying folks.
It’s truly a thing of beauty
The ‘accusation’ was just a random person on twitter claiming it was painted with nothing backing it up, did anyone actually click the link?
Wiley E Coyote level military capabilities. I guess they couldn’t positively ID the target because it isn’t a school or hospital.
Literal WW2 tactics working on people with 1940s Euro view of the world
Literal Looney Toons tactics
Emoji makers of hexbear, I call uppon you to make an emoji of the Loony Tunes “Tunnel Entrance Painted on Wall” bit.
Not sure if this is quite what you’re looking for or if you meant of a helicopter, or something else, but:
Oh shit… I was just thinking, literally, of a brick wall with a dark tunnel entrance.
I didn’t know this one existed. :rat-salute-1:
Video: Israel brags about blowing up a painting of a helicopter.
Waow that really is a neat trick though.
Decoy strategies in general are an undervalued aspect of warfare
pretty sure I remember seeing some footage of the US army using inflatable balloon tanks in WW2
Yea- today I learned
theyarmies still do it. I think hexbear should buy me an inflatable tank tbh.

And they worked, fooled German intelligence into thinking the Normandy landings would be near Calais
thank you for posting the video
Was this AI target selection perhaps?
IRGC preparing for the Israeli-American land invasion:
They should actually do it. Pave a road up to the side of a cliff. Paint a tunnel, and watch them drop a bunker-buster to “close off the exit”.
It would be even funnier if they drive right into it.
The Vietcong would put junked trucks on mountainsides for the Americans to bomb, giving them free gravel to pave the Ho Chi Mihn Trail with
Doesn’t really seem to be any actual confirmation that this was actually a painting, and the source seems to be just ‘some random person said it might be’. There was enough ‘analysis’ in the comments to make me question the paint theory (the blades, while appearing not to move, are aligned slightly differently with the landing pad rectangle at the end of the video compared to the start, which would be consistent with it being 3D and a moving camera:
the smoke appears to ‘wrap’ around the blades, suggesting it is 3D: 
as well as a video of a similar strike on the same(?) type of helicopter resulting in barely any propeller movement or obvious structural damage that would be perceivable in IR from overhead, posted in this comment thread. So, it seems inconclusive, but I’m not fully convinced of the painting theory.Unrelated though, I find it amazing that there is a capitalist news website that primarily focuses on the stock market and teaching you how to grow your stock portfolio and which companies to invest in, and it’s called moneycontrol.com, truly beyond parody
I decided to assume its fancy IR paint and perspective tricks / exploiting sensor limitations, but the frames you posted do make that cope a little harder to maintain.
Whatever it is, it’s not a real helicopter. A hit there would have caused the blades to either fall off or at least move.
Shit, I guess decoy painting and decoy balloons still work, even with high resolution cameras
