It is a very high quality mock-up, you can’t tell the difference from 10 meters away. In general, such models of various equipment become another weapon against drones. For this purpose they should be very detailed and withstand more than one hit - so that they don’t have to be replaced every day. Such models are already in use in Ukraine and are likely to become even more widespread, especially at some distance from the front. In the role of expensive targets - air defense, radars, SAU - they are of maximum use, because not only drones, but also missiles up to ballistic missiles are spent on them. I think we will soon see mass use of mockups by the Russian army as well.

    Famously, they would sometimes repaint squadron numbers on Yak-38s (very roughly the Soviet analogue of the Harrier) so western observers thought they had far more in service than they actually did.
