Make them strike air.
Full-scale inflatable fighters that look, glow and reflect like the real jet. Enemy ISR counts six. Only one is real.

Aircraft are most exposed on the ground.
Parked fighters are the easiest high-value target an adversary will ever see. Decoys that survive visual, thermal and radar inspection force strike planners to guess, and every wrong guess costs them munitions, time and credibility.

Questions buyers ask
Which aircraft can you replicate?
Decoys are built 1:1 to the aircraft type you specify, including markings and colour scheme.
Is the product independently tested?
Yes. The aircraft decoy is Notified Body tested.
Will it work at high-altitude bases?
Yes. Quick pressure-setting valves and pressure sensors let crews adjust for altitude.
How is it transported between sites?
Deflated units pack into portable containers for road or air movement.
Can we use it for training?
Yes. Many customers use decoys to train air defence and recognition without grounding operational aircraft.
