MOSCOW, April 26 – RIA Novosti. The Russian Armed Forces, as part of a special military operation in Ukraine, are using a new type of camouflage that reduces the visibility of combat vehicles in the infrared and radar ranges, an informed source told RIA Novosti.

Camouflage is a synthetic material that is worn on top of equipment in the form of covers or coatings. The material reduces the level of thermal radiation, for example, from a tank by several times, so that it practically merges with the background surface. In the radar range, it is significantly reduced detection range of equipment,” the source said.

He explained that, first of all, this disguise is intended to reduce the visibility of equipment by enemy UAVs and reconnaissance aircraft.

According to the source, the coating can also be painted in camouflage colors, reducing the visibility of military equipment in the visible optical range.



“As part of the special operation, various types of such camouflage are used on the Iskander operational-tactical missile systems, as well as on the latest T-90M Proryv tanks,” the source said.

Iskanders destroyed four warehouses of weapons and Ukrainian equipment

  1. In the West it’s called greenhouseeffect, while greenhouses are built with IR transparent PE foil, time to think twice about global warming propaganda.

  2. How to camouflage the exhaust heat and fumes? It works if the target is stationary and with engine off. But once the engine is on, it should become a hot target.
