The new Russian protective material for camouflage \"Cape\" helps to make tanks visually inconspicuous during radar, thermal, and optical observation. Also, tests have shown that the development of JSC \"NII Stali\" can successfully make a tank resistant to modern ATGMs, such as the American Javelin.
According to RIA Novosti, citing its source, the \"Cape\" reduces thermal radiation from the tank, smoothing out thermocontrast zones. Anti-tank missiles, which have an infrared homing head, experience a disruption in target acquisition. The effectiveness of the \"Cape\" increases when used in conjunction with smoke and aerosol screens.
