Russia firing terrifying secret 'decoy darts' at civilian areas of Ukraine
Ukraine to try and bamboozle the Ukrainian military.According to US security officials, Moscow is using fake dart-shaped missiles for the first time in the conflict, which is now in its 22nd day.They believe the decoys are the reason why Ukraine's air defence systems have found it so tricky to stop Russia's short-range ballistic missiles which have reportedly been used on civilians in hospitals and bomb shelters in Kyiv and Kharkiv.Since the start of Vladimir Putin's invasion, images have circulated on social media of the dart-shaped munitions which many people initially thought were cluster bombs or miniature weapons.Weapons experts now believe that they are decoys which have been kept secret from the West and fired from mobile launchers for the Russian Iskander-M missile.Intelligence officials believe that the darts are similar to Cold War-era 'penetration aids', or decoys that were fired to help nuclear warheads avoid anti-missile systems.Weapons expert Prof. Jeffrey Lewis from the Middlebury Institute of International Studies told the Telegraph: “The minute people came up with missiles, people started trying to shoot them down, and the minute people started trying to shoot them down, people started thinking about penetration aids.“We never see them because they’re highly secret.
