They build much higher quality and much more expensive decoys nowdays just for this reason. Inflatable ones are too easy to detect as fakes. If I remember correctly there was a study done by the chinese military that showed having equal number of decoys to actual vehicles reduces losses by 40%

I bet now days even the decoys could drive but then you could drape a decoy skin over a real one
