What is a camouflage dummy anti-tank gun emplacement?

A camouflage dummy anti-tank gun emplacement is a fake position designed to fool enemies into thinking that there are anti-tank guns or artillery pieces deployed in a particular location. These dummy emplacements are made with materials such as wood, metal, or canvas, and are painted and shaped to resemble real guns and gun pits. Often, these fake emplacements are created to draw the attention of enemy reconnaissance units away from the actual positions where live guns are located. The camouflage effect is achieved through the use of natural materials such as camouflage netting, canvas, branches, and vegetation.
