    Hmm.

    So is the IFV a decoy? I mean, it seems expensive to expend a working IFV if you have decoy soldiers and are expecting the thing to maybe be hit.

    I can’t tell for sure, but it looks like it might be. In the photo from directly above, it looks like one might be seeing soil through the hatch, like there’s no floor on the vehicle.
