Russia Deploys the Batman
Video Summary
Ukraine, in an effort to maintain a strategic advantage on the battlefield, has been utilizing “firal caves,” a camouflage technology that conceals their heat signatures from enemy drones. The technology, which is designed to be used at night, has been used by Ukraine since 2023. In a recent demonstration, the effectiveness of the technology was tested, and while it works to some extent, it is not foolproof. The devices, which are made of materials with insulation properties and low radiation emission in the infrared spectrum, can only conceal a human body’s heat signature if the person remains completely still, making it ineffective for soldiers who need to be mobile. Russia, on the other hand, has been shown to be using the technology incorrectly, deploying soldiers in daylight with little to no camouflage, rendering the suit ineffective.
