So they want to be spotted better or what is the use of the thermal cloaks😅
The cockroach killer at work
A thermal cloak that doesn’t match your surroundings is pretty useless
Did they pull those from a fucking freezer ?
‘We are lucky they are so fucking stupid’
Ivan thought he was in Harry Potter
Too bad they don’t have cloaks to cover up stupidity.
That is hilarious. Lol
Always a pleasure watching these ratnik dogs get it. Helps me sleep a little better knowing there are fewer orcs roaming out there. Just a bunch more Ivans that certainly won’t be missed. 🇺🇦🇬🇧
THE CLOAKS DO NOTHING!
Just a few meters over they might have worked.
Instead they laid on the soft green grass with its own thermal signature.
A lots of little fucking Harry POOOotter
They ran out of cloaks and started handing body bags instead.
Ambient temp is the goal here. Task: failed. You are now bright black instead of bright white
Blyat thermal blanket!
I do not know the intelligence or wisdom of the soldiers / conscripts / prisoners in question.
Assumption: they were given the materials being told that they would give an advantage if they covered themselves.
I’m basing the rest of my comment as a person of Science, then as a person who wishes Ukraine to win.
1) The publishing of the video shows that standard FLIR imaging can pick these out easily, they cannot work on a single person.
2) The thermal imaging affects the drone-drops. It takes standard 3D terrain and turns it into 2D (a common problem with microscopes / black and white images compared to colour in humans) – there is no “depth of field”
3) By revealing the footage, it’s going to trigger very fast adaptations to the weaknesses of this system or material – the totally linear reflection of infrared.
4) (Just to point out the person who asked if they stored this thing in a “fucking freezer”) – reflection of infrared is not the same as infrared emission: the material is reflecting infrared (IR) away from the person under it, and is a bad emitter, so it looks like it is cold: it is the same temperature as the atmosphere, it just looks cold in the IR spectrum.
People should not be posting this stuff, it looks like the people using these blankets are idiots. They could well be idiots, because invading a country that has not attacked you outright is idiocy.
But in using the technology the “first time” and then getting INSTANT FEEDBACK on the FLAWS they get to go back and make improvements.
This war has shown how fast application of materials can be done – we need to encourage our allies in Ukraine to ensure they don’t encourage the opposition to evolve faster.
Ukraine are evolving fast, but their opposition are so big they can afford to adapt much more slowly.
Darwin and Wallace would encourage being stealthy about communications.
Bloody good video though!
my eyes..the cloaks do nothing.
That last guy gunna die and no one will see his body.
1:13 “I heard explosions from here so this must be the designated hiding spot”
The video is good for morale, I guess. But it’s literally giving feedback to the enemy on what went wrong.
Obviously, Vlad and Boris back in the zHQ will know the thermal covers didn’t hide them, but they wouldn’t immediately know why. It would take them several iterations and tests (assuming they even test this shit) to find out.
Instead, they get immediate feedback with this video (“oh, that shit looks visibly pitch black against ambient temperature”) and can remediate in short order.
Whoever is sharing this in the UAF needs a reminder that operational secrecy (“We know how the enemy fucks up, but they neither know how they fuck up, nor they know that we know how they fuck up”) is better than likes on social media.
Darkwing Duck theme song was certainly a choice.
“These will make you completely invisible to gay Nazi drones.”
*ded*
Bet your ass this is an aliexpress cloak as a part of China’s material donations to support Russia. Lol

Guess that didn’t work out too good 😊
It sucks to suck.
