Two points to make,

1 - It's not a secret weapon if you are telling everyone.

2 - I would rather have 1 real tank, than have 100 fake tanks.

"Best of all, is the price tag. They are 100 times cheaper than the real thing"

WHAT??
Example: Russian T-90 tank $2,23million/unit..
So that kind of Wacky Inflateable Arm Waving Tube Man Tank is still gonna cost you more than 20 grand :|
I Think in this case fooling the enemy is the best thing.. NOT the price tag :D

And that "special material".. Metallic spray coating perhaps? 2,99 from yours local hardware store >:)

"A 100 times cheaper", but more than a thousand times useless in actual warfare.

I was gonna make the point that 100x cheaper didn't sound like it was very cheap to me, but #12 beat me to it.

They are called decoys they used strategies like this in WWII but now they are inflatable with real accurate dimensions and they show up on radar as the real thing....holy shit.... just have 1 real one in the middle of 10 of these and have it fire and we'll see who wants to stay for the show.

I can see some amusing misunderstanding coming from this.

Soldier1: "The enemy is coming. Quick, blow up our tanks!"
Soldier2: "Yes, sir!"
KABOOM!
Soldier1: "WTF dude!"

"They're a 100 times cheaper than the real thing"..War tanks apparently cost in excess of at least 10 million each..divided by 100 equals: 100 grand! That's an expensive bouncy castle!

(oh sorry just realised AFTER I typed the above that #12 and #16 have pointed this out already, aw man I'm gona be downgraded aren't I? Please have mercy, I realised my mistake!! :'( haha :D

@ #15

But you wouldn't attack 100 tanks with one tank would you? Unless you were absolutly sure they were all fake, and you can't really know that...

I could be mistaken, but I don't think these would fool thermal vision - which is what most air-based scouts are equipped with, and how they spot things. I could only see this fooling low-tech militia or insurgents.

Revealing the war secrets purposly....

I believe there is a reason which is maybe to fool the enemy or maybe to make the enemy think whether I am being made fool or its really fake so he gets confused.
This is a really intelligent trick to confuse enemy

I would do the opposite, let them think there are no weapons, and hit the enemy hard.

Modern era

During the Kosovo War, the Yugoslav Army regularly placed dummy tanks in Kosovo which misled NATO forces into thinking that they were destroying far more real tanks than actually occurred.[15]

The United States Army has developed a modern dummy tank. It imitates the M1 Abrams tank not only in appearance, but also in its heat signature, in order to appear real to infrared detectors. One of these decoys can take fire from the enemy and still appear to be operational, thus delaying the enemy by as much as an hour, as they are forced to destroy the decoy. These M1 decoys cost only $3,300,[16] compared to $4.35 million for a real M1.[17] The decoy is also practical: when disassembled, it weighs only fifty pounds, and is roughly the same size as a duffel bag. Its generator—about the size of a 12 inch television—facilitates inflation, so that two people can erect the decoy in a few minutes.[16] Occasionally, real tanks carry a dummy on board, to deploy when needed.[18]

But you cant win a battle with dummies, if they come and get you.

If these dummy tanks are 100 times cheaper than the real thing, then they need to get the dummy tank price down to $100 then the real things will only cost $10000 8-)
