inflatable models produced by China and purchased by Iran are indistinguishable at distance from the real thing and many have coatings on them to appear solid to EW. Both UKR and Russia have used decoys successfully in the current war, both having extensive ISR capability. Also, decoys are used much more intelligently now. Dropping them on a runway, inexplicably, stopped working a long time ago. Now they treat them like the real thing and "service" them, move them to simulate use, and eve put "camouflage" netting on them so they appear as valuable assets being protected.

Finally, wartime BDA sucks, whether done by Americans or others.
