This guide details the tactical application of MRE Flameless Ration Heaters as thermal decoys, as demonstrated by FalconClaw. The technique involves using the heat signature generated by the MRE heater to simulate a manned position when viewed through thermal imaging, offering a practical deception method for soldiers in the field. The video emphasizes the importance of understanding thermal signatures and suggests combining heaters with other methods for enhanced effect.

This video explores the effectiveness of using hot water-filled bottles as thermal decoys to mask fighting positions in a trench line. The experiment demonstrates that both titanium and plastic bottles filled with hot water can create a thermal signature that mimics an occupied position, potentially drawing enemy observation away from actual personnel. The titanium bottle maintained its heat longer and presented a more convincing thermal signature.

This video explores the creation of a thermal decoy to deceive enemy thermal optics. The primary method involves using candles within a tin bucket to generate a heat signature. While a single candle proved insufficient, multiple candles bundled together showed some potential, though light spill and visibility to the naked eye in darkness were identified as issues. The presenter suggests camouflage and shaping the decoy to resemble a human head for increased effectiveness.
