Scientists create 'invisibility shield' for tanks

The video discusses a new technology under development that aims to protect tanks from heat-seeking missiles. This involves using special hexagonal plates on the tank's exterior, allowing operators to alter the tank's infrared profile to mimic other objects or nearby buildings. This capability enables the tank to blend into its surroundings, thereby confusing the enemy.
