Ukrainian Invisibility Cloak for Defense Forces by Brave1

9 comments

1. Ukrainians have developed advanced protection against Russian thermal imagers and drones with thermal vision cameras. The cloak blocks heat radiation and renders soldiers invisible to the enemy, including our snipers and Special Operation units carrying out combat missions.

   The development is compact and lightweight, weighing up to 2.5 kg. It offers high resistance to rain and wet snow, and it’s fire-resistant, providing protection against high temperatures. In the video, you can see a working prototype that has successfully passed field tests.

   The invisibility cloak is just one of the innovations aimed at saving the lives of our military on the front lines. We need more. If you’re working on defense projects, please submit them through the Brave1 platform.

2. Awesome hopefully it can be shipped before winter

3. Very impressive, cant see the 4th guy at all

4. Can still see him though, eventually one of the hundred drones flying over will go “what’s that?”

5. And so the new thermal/imaging arms race begins

6. So somewhat a Saab Barracuda copy i guess, good that they start making more of them

7. A fire blanket painted green?

8. It’s good and all but physics means that heat has got to go somewhere. I imagine it would only work for a short time before the heat starts to appear through so it would be become less effective over time. I’m sure it’s still useful though in the right environment and situation.

   The Taliban were using space blankets for this in Iraq and Afghanistan I believe and it worked for about 10-15mins before they were just as visible as before. I’m sure these are more advanced than that but unless you can somehow remove the heat then it’s not going to work for ages. Especially if you’re all hot with your heart racing in a combat environment.

9. and still not retake crimea… or any significant amout of land.
