Iran is estimated to have purchased approximately one million military equipment mock-ups from China.
Modern.az reports with reference to foreign media that these mock-ups can be quickly deployed and relocated. Since Iran's air defense system minimizes the reconnaissance capabilities of US and Israeli drones, it is difficult to distinguish such targets from real objects during long-range aerial reconnaissance.
There are also mock-ups equipped with electrical cables and heating systems, resembling real objects for a more realistic appearance.
It is believed that military mock-ups are one of the reasons that allow Iran to emerge from US-Israeli attacks with fewer losses.
