International. Russia's Defense Ministry revealed that in the last week it has conducted the first of a series of tests of a paint for all types of military vehicles that would allow them not to be seen by thermal cameras and night vision technologies.
Tests of the coating known as "Stealth" are being carried out at the Chebarkul polygon in Russia's Chelyabinsk province in the southern Urals.
According to representatives of the company that supplies the paint, they have used three types of paint: with a de-icing effect, with an effect of absorption of radio waves and with an effect of reducing radioactive contamination. These types of paint can be used for all types of armored vehicles, even for the most recent models of the Armata family.
Meanwhile, the press service of the Central Military District of Russia, published that "during the night phase of testing the paint was examined by intelligence equipment, in particular by unmanned aerial vehicles and night vision equipment of foreign production. Two of the three paintings showed almost complete reflection in the light spectrum and in the infrared spectrum."
However, the formulation of the paint has not been revealed, but it was revealed that the coating was previously implemented in the Russian Navy. The paint also offers characteristics resistant to all types of temperatures and radioactive particles.
