The HIMARS (High Mobility Artillery Rocket System) has been credited with changing the trajectory of the war. Though Ukraine only has about 20 of these systems sent from the United States, Russia seems to have no counter. And many have wondered why Russia has not managed to destroy a single one of them. Well, a Czech company's realistic inflatable HIMARS may be one reason.

A company from the city of Děčín, Czech Republic, produces and sends to Ukraine inflatable HIMARS and M270 multiple launch rocket systems to help the Armed Forces of Ukraine confuse invading Russian forces, a video circulating on social media shows.

The video, shared by Czech television on Feb. 22 about the production of cheap decoys for Russian missiles shows inflatable M270/M142 MLRS systems. The footage does not show inflatable HIMARS systems, but they are mentioned in the voice-over of the video.

The company’s representative said they are able to produce up to 35 such decoys per month.

However, he did not specify how many of them had already been sent to Ukraine.

Inflatable MLRS not only confuse Russian invaders, but they are also a cheap target for Russian missiles that cost thousands of dollars, it is said in the video.
