For training, the US Army puts fake front cabins on Humvees to make them look like Soviet produced light vehicles.
JizzmasterD, See the USA and Russia have more in common than they realize.
Russia puts the same on the front of a Lada Niva and send them out to the battlefield.
21Cabbage, Could be potentially useful as a decoy for avoiding direct hits to the actual cabin too, just spit balling.
setsneedtofeed, 
Not particularly, no. I can offer to show this Humvee rhino horn meant to trick thermal sensors.
21Cabbage, I was thinking for more human targeted weapons, though can’t imagine the trick would work for long.

setsneedtofeed, These vehicles play the part of the opposing forces in training exercises.
XEAL, “We’ll be good guys and you will be the filthy commies”
setsneedtofeed, They also turn APCs, like the M113 Gavin into simulated tanks.
Kangie, It’s just the M113.
Gavin is a made-up designation by one Mike Sparks who earnestly believes that it’s the best vehicle ever made and replacing it was a terrible mistake.
If you added wings and bolt on some javelin launchers though you might make Mike proud.
setsneedtofeed, :)
I added it just for you.
