Does the lack of a shadow not make it obvious that these are decoys anyway?

I agree with people saying this might be mostly for satellite images, but even a drone pilot, staring at a shaky and noisy camera image due to the distance, EW and other interference, might have a hard time telling a decoy from a real one, well, unless there's a helicopter on it of course.
