Are those fake military vehicles moved on a battle field to impress the enemy?

You're definitely on to something there PJ.
What I need to know now is the manufacturer involved in this deception and any other details.

I always like the story of the dummy fuel depot the 8th Army built somewhere in North Africa during WW2.  They were delighted when the Germans bombed it - until they realised that they'd used wooden bombs!
