Ukraine has created a fleet of decoys resembling advanced US rocket
systems that has tricked Russian forces into wasting expensive
long-range cruise missiles on dummy targets, Washington Post reports.

The wooden decoys are indistinguishable from the real thing to UAVs,
who transmit their locations to naval cruise missile carriers in the
Black Sea.

After a few weeks in the field, the decoys drew at least 10 Kalibr
cruise missiles. The destroyed decoys may partially account for
Russia’s inflated statistics of destroyed HIMARS.

The counter to that is reported HIMARS activity has supposedly plummeted the last ten days, so they are either conserving ammo, running out of ammo, running out of targets or have indeed lost some of the units they've been supplied
