11th Armoured Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 I saw that the other week & wondered what the hell it was! The latest in all-singing, all-dancing camo, apparently Barracuda camo Multi-spectral camouflage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiffy_massive Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 It's the newest additional armour covering. Supposed to replace bar armour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pkitson Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 I believe it is a thermal cover to help disguise the tanks thermal signature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRDM Driver Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Apparently it actually disperses the heat, thus breaking up the heat signature so the Chally no longer looks 'Chally like'... The underneath consists of copper coils with mylar foil on top, then the green material. it's all held on with magnets which must have caused some navigation issues at some point! All made by a little old lady with a sowing machine, sat in the ATDU workshops for a few weeks.... allegedly... Actually all you need is to drive around with a large slab of polystyrene slapped on the side that's facing the enemy and then project an image of what's on the other side of your tank onto that!

Andy I've seen firms selling artificial lawns that have their vans covered in 'grass', I presume as advertising. jh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
