Are you the dictator of a country that’s desperate to seem powerful to its neighbours, but not quite rich enough to afford the armaments it wants? Take a page from the Fortitude South and buy these inflatable versions of scary military equipment! Trick foreign satellites and spy planes into thinking you’re a viable threat–just take each balloon tank to an empty field, blow it up to size and watch the foreign media go crazy!
