Ukrainian soldiers in the war against Russia’s invasion face threats from thermal cameras, which can detect them in cover. In response, they’re deploying domestically made “invisibility cloaks.”

So this what US tax payer dollars have been doing…
Mud works. And is free
Thermal imaging cloak is an old thing. Look up Eric Frein and read the story. He use a cloak to evade the police in the woods. The police had helicopters with thermal cameras and he was able to evade them for quite some time and taunted them at times. Look it up read the story. A cloak can be made relatively cheap. You need radiant barrier fabric. Not the crap insulation in Home Depot but the fabric that is used to reflect heat in draperies. It needs to be the highest reflectivity you can get. 90 plus percent the higher the better. 1 inch cotton batting used in furniture. A tight thin camo nylon mesh. Your gonna sandwich the cotton between radiant barrier fabric with the reflective sides facing out. Then put the camo mesh over it. You want to sew it together like a quilt like an army jacket liner. You can then make a cloak or a blanket that can be worn like a cloak. The there is a nice you tube vid about it if they haven’t removed it. Good luck finding the radiant barrier fabric. I seen it for a short while about 5 yrs ago and then it was gone. I posted this information back then and it was immediately taken down. So clearly they don’t want people doing this but it’s not illegal. Always is a simple cheap countermeasure to high tech stuff. But the control of information is the problem.
Make it a cape with hood
Completely invisible. I could only see two heat blooms on the screen.
Master Po!! 👍👍
Looks like my advice to a friend over in Ukraine took traction. May not been my idea alone to get them these or produce their own variant, thank you to every helping the cause and those that helped pitch this idea or thought.
Bahahahaha ya OK 😂
Now any Russians who see this video are gonna pre fire bushes
So like mud does then.
Ukraine is now activating its wizard battalion I see
I still see you 😂
Russian one is an actual game changer. This is a much less quality ripoff.
While you're at it make sure to put up a version in Russian. I mean if you're going to publicize something like this why just go half way, make sure everyone … ohhhh, I get it. Never mind.
It’s why mines and tripwires still even the playfield
With the amount of money we’ve sent them, you’d think they could develop a cloaking device. 🤷🏻♂️
Harry Potter it is not
Then they close with that Clintonista George Steponallofus, scheesch . . . ☆
Not even 3 years and it already becoming a godam r and d field lol
Need these what happened to all that mud?
Man all the russian bots calling it a politicians war. Obviously its Putins war. Hes a politician and should be stopped.
Little men think this statement is big.
Could also use mud
Why are you discussing their capabilities for everyone to hear on the news??? You people are a big part of the problem in this world. I see through your b.s.
DARPA…
Idiot that money comes from usa
What level do I have to be to equip this cloak? I want the stealth buff!
Yall forget that these are designed so you can hide in foliage or concealment without giving off traces of your body heat. It’s not supposed to eliminate your heat signature entirely 🤡

We all hate abc news
Reveal all Ukraine military secrets you abc new trash
That’s the stupidest thing ever 😂😂😂
Плащ-палатку изобрели ?))
Yeah, it's called a repurposed 1970s space blanket
usa probably gave it to them and they saying they did it to keep things calm and secretive
I saw something like this but it works only if u stand still. Once u move it's useless.
it also makes you look like a beautiful forest fairy
😂 Great job….😂
Once the cloak gets a patch of red, they're easy to spot
This is where are money is going…..
The war is over, need to accept the lost ground and stop sending Ukrainians into suicide missions
Mylar ponchos
Ridiculous
It really doesn't seem to work well at all.
This is a joke. Stop wasting money.
Mylar works well to hide a thermal image.
