#1 Ah Patton, the most feared enemy Allied Commander on all fronts by the Germans during WW2.

#2 Fill it with helium and power/control it with a drone and then let the video slip out. It'd be awesome as the Russians and others tried to figure out how we made an F-16 VSTOL with our new anti-grav tech.

#3 I've heard about this. Someone made an inflatable base - including inflatable tanks, and trucks and cars and even inflatable people.

Worked really well until the enemy came along and dropped an inflatable bomb on it....

#4 I heard that story. I think it was the Germans in the Netherlands and the Brits dropped the fake bomb. I'm not sure it was all inflatable but they created a fake base. How does stuff like that not find its way into movies?
