State Border Guard Service of Ukraine (SBGS) reported the delivery of special garments designed to protect the servicemen from detection by night vision cameras. Thermal insulation properties make the troops wearing them indistinguishable from their surroundings in the infrared spectrum.
According to the SBGS, the cloaks were crafted specifically for frontline combat operations. They don't hinder mobility, allowing soldiers to run, crawl, and maneuver freely during the missions.

"The protective kit includes the cloak itself, detachable 3D modular camouflage, heat-reflective gloves, and a storage bag. The system offers low thermal conductivity, infrared suppression, flexibility, and resistance to pressure, moisture, temperature fluctuations, and mechanical damage. It is also hypoallergenic and suitable for use in both extreme heat and cold," the border guard press service said in a statement.
The kits, valued at nearly half a million UAH, were donated to Ukrainian defenders by the staff of the Khmelnytskyi Nuclear Power Plant.
"Once the required inventory procedures are completed, the equipment will be transferred to a combat unit currently deployed on the eastern front. The border guards express their sincere gratitude to the Khmelnytskyi NPP team for their vital support of our troops and invaluable contribution to our shared victory," the SBGS added.
Earlier, Defense Express explained how thermal camouflage works and mentioned examples of russian developments in the domain. According to Ukrainian forces, these suits redefine battlefield tactics, proving critically important for assault groups, reconnaissance units, snipers, and even evacuation teams.
