  Does the SAF have a system of deploying decoys in the battlefield? This is a way to misled the enemy and to waste the enemy's ammo on fake vehicles or planes.

  Maybe. Won't be difficult though. Inflatable cars, etc can sure be made to look like tanks etc. The problem is the heat signature but again i think that can be solved fairly easily? I also remember that Yugoslavia claims to have fooled NATO into bombing the wrong targets by Laying polystyrene sheets of some sort on the ground; that supposedly looked like a road from the air.
  
  Thing is nowadays, these tricks might not work that well anymore.
