War in Ukraine: kyiv unveils an “invisibility cloak” to camouflage its soldiers

“Have you ever read about invisibility cloaks in fairy tales? Well, the Ukrainians made it,” Ukrainian Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhaïlo Fedorov proudly announced on Wednesday October 4 on X. This “invisibility cloak” with several functions was recently developed to equip and camouflage the Ukrainian army.

To illustrate his remarks, the minister shared a video of this cape. In images from a thermal camera, two people appearing to be soldiers are clearly visible. On the left, much less distinct, a third silhouette can be seen. It would be equipped with this new invisibility cover, which therefore makes it barely perceptible in the dark. “The cape blocks thermal radiation and makes the defenders invisible to Russian thermal cameras” declares the minister on X.

On her X account, Alla Poedie, a Ukrainian geopolitical analyst based in France, explains that the capes would not exceed the weight of 2.5 kg, thanks to their “compact and light design”. This cover also offers “high protection against rain and snow.” In addition, “the raincoat does not burn and protects against high temperatures.” “It will help our soldiers to work efficiently during the night,” concludes Mykhaïlo Fedorov.
