| N Korea develops camouflage tactics |
| 2010-08-24 |
| [Iran Press] North Korea has developed a special stealth paint to camouflage its warships, tanks and fighter planes from foreign reconnaissance satellites and aircraft. "Modern warfare is stealth warfare. We can say that victory or defeat will be determined by how we carry out stealth warfare," the Chosun Ilbo newspaper quoted North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il as saying in a confidential manual used by the North's military. The 2005 manual, which was smuggled out of the country, describes how the tactic helps conceal facilities or equipment and how to make military units look as if they are moving when they are not in order to deceive South Korean and US reconnaissance. According to the Monday report, radar-reflecting materials have been used to conceal long-range military equipment. |

| #5 Would'nt "radar-reflecting materials" make sure that the targets show up on radar a lot better? I'm beginning to suspect that something got lost in translation. |

| #2 gorb, clearly something got lost in the translation. Perhaps they meant on decoys. BTW, good luck with that. |

| #1 According to the Monday report, radar-reflecting materials have been used to conceal long-range military equipment. They're probably wondering why nobody ever thought of this before. |
