Production of anti-drone invisibility cloaks launched in Kuban
In the city of Abinsk they began to produce blankets that allow them to become invisible to drones. This is done by local volunteers.
The principle of operation of the blanket is as follows: during the day it works as normal camouflage and at night it insulates heat, preventing the thermal imaging cameras of enemy drones from seeing the fighter.
To prevent the blankets from transmitting heat, volunteers cover two layers of fabric with two layers of heat-reflecting foil, between which a polyester filling is placed. It should be noted that this design does not allow heat to escape.
After testing their products, volunteers sent the first batch of 70 blankets to the Northern Military District area. The next batch is in production.
