What happens when they get shot at? lol :P
War counts as much on psychology as much as it does physical acts. Put enough of these in a weak part of your line of defence or attack, and you may just persuade the enemy generals to attack the parts you have defended most strongly by making them look weaker. After all, they may be a couple of miles away, or looking at the line via a satellite photo. In either case, these will look like real tanks.

These things do look very convincing. Combine that with the fact that they are also designed to present both the radar and thermal image the normal weapon would. They would probably fool any enemy into thinking they are the real thing.
