Oh that was good.

Sounds like the same tactic the Taliban are using in Afghanistan.

Sad to hear it. My deepest sympathies. Once again, the people killed in these blasts have nothing to do with the problem the bombers are concerned about. Why should "Hawkers" have to die for the bomber's cause? The bombers are just going for a body count and they don't care who dies. I don't think India is backing Israel significantly, so what's the excuse this time?

Absolute invisibility is incredibly hard, but Adaptive Camouflage (meaning the camouflage 'uniform' changes to match the background) isn't that far off. It won't be extremely heavy and will require a little more power than your cell phone. Here's a link for what they're doing at the University of Tokyo and how they do it. The video below that shows how they do it. This tech requires a vid cam behind the wearer so, of course, this would be useless for a foot soldier. But right now, work is being done on nano-tech cameras that would add almost zero weight and serve as the "backside camera." check it out: http://science.howstuffworks.com/invisibility-cloak.htm Here's the vid: After all that, I still don't think the vid that starts this thread is for real. Too many inconsistencies. Still, when Adaptive Camouflage finally deploys it'll be a game changer.

For me, I notice that the guy is apparently invisible while running across the field. When he arrives at the tank, he's clearly visible again. Since a tank had just been mined or more likely struck by an IED, they were in a combat situation. So I can think of no reason why invisibility should be turned off when he arrives at the tank. That alone makes the video suspicious.

I thought this was pretty cool too.

Frack! That's like science fiction.

Too far for me, but if you go, bring back pics!

Those Alaskans are tough!

I was living there in SF when the "Board of Stupervisors" rejected the Iowa. They didn't want the presence of so strong a military symbol. I had grown to hate them. Chris Daly, one of the members, tried to stop the yearly visit by the Blue Angels one time. He claimed they scared his dog.

Awesome pics, Xclusive! The Lansen is one of my faves.

That is so awesome! I've been following nanotech for years. I have high hopes for things like this.

How very true!

This one always gets me in a groove.

That's just freakin' shameful.

Totally cool. Long live the Blues.

Love that old blues. RIP.

Great stuff.

Latest vehicle built with alien tech from Area 51? Looks like a sub to me.

Maybe he should hide in a palace in Pakistan. That worked for years for another unmentionable.

Nice going. Vids like that are important for new Thirdwire pilots.

Awesome! I am SO looking forward to this one.
