    Russia develops new 'chameleon' camouflage to make soldiers 'invisible', 02.06.2023.

    A new camouflage set is being developed in Russia, promising to make its soldiers invisible even to thermal imaging sights.

    In addition, camouflage will allow soldiers to get confused in the terrain unnoticed, Vladimir Kormushin, general director of the manufacturer Kirasa, told Sputnik.

    "We strive to provide fighters with camouflage that can make them literally invisible to the enemy. Today, we have the task of protecting the military in various wavelength ranges, including in thermal imaging [...]", he explains.

    In addition, the director stated that the production of camouflage is possible thanks to the emergence of new materials.

    According to him, the new camouflage set will provide "invisibility" to a soldier thanks to special fabrics and paints.

    "The goal is to create a uniform that will make the combatant invisible against an ever-changing external background [... The camouflage must change like a chameleon, " he explained.
