This is the best summary I could come up with:
Ukraine’s Minister of Digital Transformation, Mykhailo Fedorov, shared a video on social media, which he said showed the jacket being tested.
Boryak added that the cloaks worked best when the person wearing them moved slowly, as rapid movements cause body temperature to rise.
Earlier this year, reports emerged about Russian forces wearing space blankets made of Mylar, a material with “excellent heat-reflective properties” that can redirect “approximately 90 percent of radiant heat.”
These types of jackets could prove useful for Ukrainian forces at this stage of the counteroffensive, as troops have often had to abandon vehicles and proceed on foot after coming up against dense Russian minefields, The Kyiv Post noted.
In 2021, The Israeli Ministry of Defense and Polaris Solutions, an Israel-based manufacturer thermal emitters, revealed new camouflage technology that made soldiers virtually “invisible.”
The Kit 300 was made of thermal-visual concealment material that combined metals, microfibres, and polymers to make it harder to detect soldiers.
