Inflatable simulation equipment are great. They're relatively lightweight and easy to deploy, just haul it to the field and pump it up.
The company that makes the fake inflatable F-16 & Su-27 is Shape Inflatable Manufacture Co. Ltd in Jiangsu:
They even make inflatable aircraft hangers, hehe. The same companhy also makes inflatable advertising balloons and amusement equipment, like those jump-bounce things for kids to play in:

Applications:
1. To fool spy satalites etc - these are very realistic
2. To act as decoys in battle - these can be combined with IR and/or RCS simulation also although I don't know if China uses that simple technology.
3. As simulated enemy targets in military exercises - see whether your fighter pilots report seeing F-16s (enemy) or J-7s (friendly) etc.
Another reason to build 'enemy' types is for export - Pakistan could do with a few fake F-16s etc. Iran's latest MBTs look almost identical to the M-1 Abrams etc.

That is the strangest of all. Actually the scud missile looks a lot like the DF-11. I guess one version of the DF-11 is a white missile and one version is the camo colored one.
The scud looks a lot like the camo colored one, except maybe the cab on the TEL doesn't "indent" in the middle lilke the scud does.
It makes sense that the PLA would want to make decoys of equipment they have or equipment their adversaries have, but the scud is neither

Those pics are really old. I saw those things 3 years ago , when i was a collage boy. It's some kind of advertisement pics for rubber fake military vehicles for a private manufacture. For those foreign customer , fake F16 will be nice.
