Quote: "The cloak blocks the radiation of heat and makes the fighters invisible to the enemy. For example, to snipers or Special Operations Forces groups that perform combat tasks," the Deputy Prime Minister said.
The invention is compact and light; it weighs up to 2.5 kg. It has high protection against rain and wet snow.
Apart from that, the cloak does not burn and protects against high temperatures. The samples have already successfully been tested in the field.
"The invisibility cloak is just one of the developments that will help save the lives of our soldiers at the front. We need even more," Fedorov stressed.
