Russian company HinderX is finalizing tests of an advanced camouflage cloak designed to protect Russian troops from Ukrainian thermal imaging equipment in the special operation.
"We are developing a brand-new product capable of blurring the silhouette of a person. This is our exclusive know-how based on coating fabrics with a certain composition," HindreX’s spokesperson said, keeping mum on the details.
According to the firm, the new suit’s operating principle is to shield the ambient temperature from the object.
"A greater weight affects a soldier's mobility. Our product is designed to use various types of camouflage coats depending on the terrain - forest, sand, urban areas, and so on," the spokesman stressed.
He recalled that compared to all those camouflage suits currently used by Russian forces in the special operation, HinderX’s product is much more effective in terms of helping a soldier tackle an enemy thermal imager. The company added that the new robe’s tests are due to be completed before the end of January.
