Ukraine’s Military Develops Invisibility Cloak to Aid War Efforts

The war in Ukraine, which began with the Russian invasion, has now continued for over a year and seven months.

As the war prolongs, Ukraine is attracting attention with claims that it has developed a so-called military ‘invisibility cloak’.

It’s not like you can hide your appearance at all.

It blocks thermal radiation and is not captured by thermal imaging cameras during night combat, so it can be used for covert reconnaissance and surprise attacks.

This is a screen posted on social media by Mikhail Fedorov, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Digital Innovation of Ukraine.

Soldiers wearing invisibility cloaks are barely caught by thermal imaging cameras, but other soldiers have their body heat rays exposed.

This invisibility cloak is used as a military uniform pattern poncho.

Taking inspiration from special materials used by firefighters, it blocks the release of hot air and cools the hot air trapped inside with a ventilation system mounted on the cloak.

It weighs up to 2.5 kg and is highly resistant to water and fire.

Minister Fedorov revealed this invisibility cloak and expressed confidence, saying that it is one of the new developments that can save the lives of Ukrainian soldiers.

Weapon systems equipped with these stealth features are also being used by our military.

This is the Redback, a futuristic infantry fighting armored vehicle introduced by our military last year.

Redbacks can evade detection by enemy thermal surveillance equipment and heat-seeking missile attacks by wearing so-called ‘thermal camouflage’, like Ukraine’s invisibility cloak.

Ukraine’s ‘invisibility cloak’ was developed by applying this format to soldiers.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he was working hard to secure more equipment before winter comes.

As the Ukrainian war, now in its second winter, prolongs, it is entering another phase with new equipment that has never been seen before.
