    Inflatable tanks, interesting, I wonder if they use inflatable troops. Though I suppose they could use a heat sensor to look for heat from the tank? Though I suppose if the tank was sitting for too long it would not be hot? One thing I noticed, the brush and trees doesn't appear flattened or crippled, so it is safe to say those tanks never moved.
