Russian military deception

Russian military deception involves strategic techniques used to mislead adversaries about military intentions, capabilities, and movements. This includes tactics like disguising troop locations, creating false signals or decoys, and misleading communications to obscure true plans. The goal is to confuse, delay, or weaken an opponent’s response, gaining a strategic advantage. It’s a form of psychological and informational warfare designed to protect actual operations and influence enemy decisions without direct confrontation. Effective deception relies on careful planning, timing, and understanding of the adversary’s perception to manipulate their assumptions.
