Photos show remains of Russian IFV carrying dummy soldiers, revealing new deception tactics used
I don't get the rationale behind that. Even if the IFV were remote controlled and they didn't have to send the crew on a suicide run, what exactly is gained? The vehicle gets destroyed either way. One that could be better used elsewhere.
Using previously disabled IFVs, is my guess. Otherwise, yes, a net negative.
Strategic deception when probing or covering another advance.
Could also be a way to expend Ukrainian supplies, especially artillery that has limited ammo and could be tempted by a juicy vehicle.
