Ukraine appears to have used an air-launched decoy weapon in a bid to confuse Russian air defences.

Images on social media of wreckage in the Russian-held city of Luhansk seemingly also show what appears to be the remains of an ADM-160B MALD (Miniature Air-Launched Decoy).

The job of the miniature air-launched decoy is to go in ahead of a main aerial attack and confuse enemy air defences by pretending to be an aircraft – anything from a small jet fighter to a bomber.
