Allow me to tell you about when our platoon in the Swedish Military was chewed out by our lieutenant for not putting up our tent for our posting as he came around to inspect our work. He was fuming, calling us all worthless pieces of shit and was talking about how we would be made to march for 50 miles instead of sleeping that night bla bla bla. Then, when our corporal was allowed to speak in our defense. He simply pointed with a straight face that the whole camp has been built 15 meters in THAT direction as instructed. At which the lieutenant stared for 30 seconds until he finally just stopped being red in his face and you could literally feel the chill he got from realizing he's been making a complete ass out of himself for many minutes while we all just stood there not making a single smirk or sound. It was so well camouflaged that he had actually walked around the whole camp on a natural trail and not seen a single thing and it took him that long to finally be able to discern that MAYBE there actually was two frigging 20 men tents hidden there with a whole bunch of other equipment. The lieutenant said only one thing: "Well, good job, carry on" and walked away. We didn't see him again for a whole week.
Very interesting. I am a Canadian physicist with Ukrainian ancestry. I have a good understanding of what SAAB is doing. My expertise is advanced sensors. I appreciate the perspective from a soldier because it helps me work toward good solutions. Thanks for posting.
Were you aware of a British camouflage system in ww2 that made aircraft appear to disappear? It used electric lights to actually camouflage flying aircraft? The system involved a bunch of low power lights mounted to a aircraft that simulated the sky's natural background lighting and made aircraft appear to disappear. I don't know why it was dropped. It was a brilliant idea. My guess was the advent of radar. Now with stealth a system like this would be excellent indeed. I just don't understand why it hasn't been rediscover? Try looking it up. It works.
saab does alot. do you remeber, all the talk about mall Diameter Bomb (GLSDB) thats sabb, RBS 70 , sabb. at4 , Nlaw, cv90 etc. i think sweden was the 4th largest weapons manufavtuer in the world at some point for a small countrty with 9 million people its pretty insane. i think they will go into anti drone tech that area is Big. when it comes to GPS spoofing.
Hägglunds: "We made these neat lego set IFV that can be used for anything. Saab: "Nice, we mostly do airplanes but here's some camo made from Harry Potters cloak we made during a a fika break. Hope you like it!"
We used several different types of Hägglunds in my unit in the German Army, back when I was still in it. They get everywhere basically and come in many different variants, always enjoyed riding in them.
@@TrineDaely Swede here and I agree 💯. Too bad our Gripen fighter jet isn’t there, it is a better match for Ukraine but not a s ubiquitous. It came as a flatpack when it was shipped to Brazil. I really like the Archer. The maker doesn’t want videos when it’s actually used but there are other videos.
My only direct experience is of it’s visual properties but at one point when I was in the military, we used it cover parts of a camp with the barracuda camouflage nets. The insane thing is that even though I knew it was there and was looking straight at, it almost completely disappeared from less than a hundred meters away. Was really cool to see. Or not see, hehe.
They are now......not so much 1000 years ago. They are Vikings and used to raid and plunder far up rivers into what is now modern day ruSSia. Sweden....beautiful country and beautiful people ❤️

In Sweden we have a tradition of design things to withstand the impact of wears and tears. We are not pleased with a half-good product. We aims for survival. 👍👊
Not only that but our sworn enemy has always been Russia. All our weapons, strategies and military doctorines has been focused on a war against russia. As a small country we need to be one step ahead of russian technology. And with all that knowledge we can provide alot to Nato.
@John-ze4rr As a multinational global business empire, Ikea has withstood economic wear and tear allright it seems. Which imo is the point of Ikea, rather than the rugged survivability of self-assembled particle boards. They have some tough kitchen utensils though if you choose right. You wouldn't fight a war or go on a hiking trip with low-cost flat-pack furniture, would you?
Just watch the US MilIndComp now spend $20B to develop something that works almost as well, then dismiss the idea as too expensive and “unnecessary”. Instead of just paying the Swedes for a whole load of the stuff.
Ridiculous conservatism holds back so much in the US military. Wait and see how much they whine about this new round and weapon they are getting, which is basically essential if they want to defeat body armour. the last thing is always the best thing ever for them, like the AR15 worship, which they forget had a horrible introduction and was hated and mistrusted for years. Luckily that seam of conservatism seems to be absent from northern European development.
If you invest the money do develop your own you can later improve on it, because you understand how it works. If you just buy (or copy) it you might be able to produce it but you would have no idea how it works and therefore the developing party will always be one step ahead of you. However, if you are unable to develop your own, it’s better to buy it then not have it at all.
@@autobootpiloot Considering how closely USA and Sweden have cooperated for decades before Sweden entered NATO, I doubt that an eventual edge in camouflage technology would be problematic.
"More widespread use..." It's not used only on the IFVs, but also on the Swedish tanks (strv 122) and howitzers (Archer) provided to Ukraine. I would be surprised if it isn't provided with some of the AFVs provided from other countries as well.
Earliest account i have seen for camouflage in war (not specifically just hiding for an ambush or scouting) was also in Sweden during the Scanian War(1675-79). Small Swedish force cut down bushes and branches of trees then covered themselves and crept over the field toward a danish positions during the night. It being a moonlit night making the Danish watch feel safe they could see anyone coming, the rouse was a success and the swedes charged right ontop of the danish troops who didnt even have time to raise a propper alarm. Reportedly a danish commander only had the time to comment something along the lines of "Why are the goats bleating?" when hearing the battlecry signaling the charge before the swedes just ran into the camp, they were too close for him to imagine it was a battlecry, he thought it was the camp livestock. It is from a period diary/book from a commander of the Västgöta Cavalry Regiment of the war but it is written sometimes like a report and sometimes like a story, so the accuracy is doubtful but it shows they had the understanding of the advantages of camouflage to disguise troop movements too even if it was just a story and maybe never performed.

Great info! Sadly at the expense of Ukrainians, albeit a bit to their benefit, we are learning a lot in anticipation of the next "world" war that we (USA) may be directly involved in with boots on the ground. Thanks for another interesting and informative post.
There have been earlier vlogs comparing different DP patterns and their none visible spectrum performances .. so add in captured kit and most of the info is out there from before this current war on Ukraine. But I would have left out the frequencies... make them work for it if at all possible 😉🇬🇧🧙🏻♂️

There are fabrics which absorb IR that are used so soldiers are harder to see on night vision and thermals and primitive thermal covers, the thermal covers especially are extremely uncomfortable though,.the only real practical method is heat reflecting ghillie blankets that go over the whole body
unfortunately it is layer upon layer and weighs a lot. There is some YT on the CV9040 which has taken a lot of beating and you can see some of the layers. As a masking net, only certain laws are used to become manageable at all. There are some exciting extra tidbits. The outer layer absorbs dirt and snow from the surroundings so the color matches the local surroundings.
FYI: If you record in some sort of LOG-Picture profile then you HAVE TO add a color conversion or a LUT to rec709 at the end or on top of your camera footage. Otherwise just chose any other mode in your camera witch will give you straight rec709 material...

The barracuda system is in use at both the 21st Mechanized Brigade with the CV9040c and the STRV122. And also the 45th (not the 47th) Artillery Brigade with the FH77B Archer SPG System. Both 21st and 45th (not the 47th) are often called The Swedish Brigades as they are kitted and trained by Swedish Military and Swedish Military Doctrine. CV90 is the IFV. STRV 122 is A heavily modified LEO2A5 built in Sweden it is also considered the best protected MBT in service. FH77B Archer is the current top SPG in the world with a maximum range of over 65km, It is also the fastest when it comes to Shoot and Scoot in service, Germany is comming with their RCH155 to likely beat the Archer if it works as intended. Sweden has also Donated all the remaining PBV302 which is something in between a M113 and a Bradley. it is not a M113, Yes it looks abit like it but it is completly a diffrent vehicle. And Sweden and Netherlands have donated CB90's which is the Barracuda clad boats in the picture.
I did a quick google and only 10% of CV90's have been lost while 30% of Bradleys have been lost. It's possible the Bradleys are involved in more intense fighting or have been fighting for longer. I wasn't sure how to check to see what percentage of the crew survived in either case.

These kinds of tech advances do not get enough credit. I think in the last few years material engineering has come a long, long, way and needs much more attention. If they cannot find you they cannot attack you.
This concept is not new, although the materials technology used have advanced over the years. The US Army experimented with this system in the early 90’s prior to Desert Storm, but that operation threw every principle related to camouflage and deception out the window. Even today, you see thousands of armored vehicles in desert tan. SAAB Baracuda has some of the most advanced technology available today, but often given lip service. Glad to see this report.
Wes, good video, good information, and interesting. First time I have seen your videos. I will subscribe. Friendly suggestions here, which I hope will help you: 1. Wear a dark garment (top), not a white one. 2. Adjust your white balance on your camera or do something about your lighting setup, as in this video everything, including you, appeared blue. Use the blue background light to make your face pop from the background, but your white balance needs to be set to make your face appear natural color. 3. Avoid a distracting background image or moving things in the background. Your set has a very busy background which detracts from you. 4. Avoid putting your hands in and out of your hoodie. I hope these friendly suggestions help you. You have a good presentation, and the right tone and good speaking skills. Just need to work on the lighting of your set and video. :)
I have mentioned Bradley many times in my responds on YT. Bradleys are doing a fantastic job, I can't praise Bradleys enough. They save lives and kick the Orcs hard! About CV90, very little information leaks out about how they are doing. However, the little we do hear is that CV90 are doing well. Thank you for explaining Saabs camo system 👍
Well the fact that Sweden and Ukraine has agreed to produce CV90 in Ukraine, is the simple answer on what Ukrainians think works best against the Orchs, they are building the production facility as we are speaking ...
Greetings from Spain. There have been ground surveillance radars since the mid-1960s. It is time to start working on stealth with IR radar, both for vehicles and for the uniforms, equipment and weapons of infantrymen.
Just look at everything Sweden makes its all top tier Supercars furniture anything it’s the culture of making sure everything is reliable and built properly as intended …….Ikea is a a nightmare but it’s all quality hehe
The use of hollow nano tubing has some promising applications..the tubing is good for plus/ minus 100° The tubing under test is 5x stronger than steel and as flexible as Kevlar
They just posted up a drone footage of 1 or 2 CV90s getting deleted yesterday. Maybe they weren't using this Camo net stuff on the CV90s they were using? Heres what is said from the article "Drone footage from Russia's 106th Airborne Division showing various destroyed/damaged/abandoned Ukrainian vehicles east and south of Veseloe, Kursk Oblast, including Marder, CV-90, and Bradley IFVs; Stryker and M113 APCs; and Kozak, MaxxPro, and Kirpi MRAPs. Many of these have already been seen. Allegedly, around 1/3 of them were knocked out by artillery and ATGMs, another 1/3 by FPV drones and mines, and the rest by RPGs and other infantry weapons." Don't know if its working as intended ? or is it ? Maybe they need to past all the vehicles with the stuff so they all have the tech on them. It actually showed the CV90 in the trees just destroyed and abandoned with all the other vehicles but they were not in a convoy they were scattered in the same area inside tree lines and fields and the CV90 it didn't look like that camo did much for it from the looks of the drone footage.
Some constructive feedback for you. Your camera needs some contrast and saturation adjustment since right now it looks like "50 shades of gray" and not a full range colour video
Picture of an E-3A AWACS on the wall is great. What squadron were you attached to? I was in the 964th. Once read a report that a Russian Battalion commander was expecting an inspection of his tanks. He arranged them all including those not running near trees. He then ordered his men to climb and paint the tree leaves to match the tanks. True story
Makes so much sense, a country with a truly defensive military posture would develop the best camouflage systems. Mainly offensive strike & fast-attack military doctrines will have less priority for camouflage requirements. Ukraine & Taiwan would have high need for the most effective camouflage systems for their strategic defensive preparations
Was the first use of camoflague in the 1054 battle in which Siward, Earl of Northumbria defeated Macbeth of Scotland? "Birnam wood comes to Dunsinane" from Shakespeare's play Macbeth signifies that the advancing army rides to Dunsinane holding branches from Birnam wood to camoflague themselves.

@@GK-cb3vc no the fact that you don’t hear or see the stories of Russian desertion and drug use in the infantry, where the commanders torture and kill their soldiers and get the best pay from the kremlin/corruption, and the soldiers fairly often use drugs and vodka as a deterrent against depression on some parts of the front. go look for yourself
Thank you Sweden 💪🇺🇦 🇵🇱 🇸🇪
Great info! Sadly at the expense of Ukrainians, albeit a bit to their benefit, we are learning a lot in anticipation of the next "world" war that we (USA) may be directly involved in with boots on the ground. Thanks for another interesting and informative post.
There have been earlier vlogs comparing different DP patterns and their none visible spectrum performances .. so add in captured kit and most of the info is out there from before this current war on Ukraine. But I would have left out the frequencies... make them work for it if at all possible 😉🇬🇧🧙🏻♂️
With Baracuda Ukraine has the second most stealthy tanks in Ukraine.
And that despite being actualy there, unlike T-14 Armata.
There are no Armatas in Ukraine. The few prototypes Russia has are still too fragile for combat.
Thanks Sweden!
de nada
I AM RIGHT there with YOU. I am ARMY born,on a US Army base, served USAF! HELPED with the assembling the C-17, over 50 planes PLUS!
Thank You for another great video.
Keep them coming.

I'm a bit shocked that this is getting released publicly, it seems like it should be kept classified
I'm guessing that Saab advertises its materials to interested militaries, as a for profit business.
I think it's fine, I'd wager that even though russia knows it exists, they can't make it themselves.
So glad to see a fellow brother who spent time in multiple branches. I spent 8 years active duty USAF then 6 years Active duty Army with 3 tours to Afghanistan.
One of the best analytical TH-cam channels! Thank you, sir.
Iryna of Kyiv-Rus was born in Sweden, her most famous relatives are Ace of Base, very musical and spiritual people.. She had eight siblings... Sweden also played a great role in the founding of Rus ackording to historian Nestor... So we have no other choice but supporting the forces of goodness in Europe.....
Nice video Wes! I hope SAAB is giving you commission! Sure is a neat product! All the best, Rob in Switzerland
Very nice video. Sweden rocks!
Great channel with very pleasing and refreshing narration, love it! deserves more subs
That's amazing tech! Thanks for the updates.
Make jackets and pants with this as well as a helmet wrap! Add a small strip over the rifle, and boots. Say god day to Reggie Ray!
There are fabrics which absorb IR that are used so soldiers are harder to see on night vision and thermals and primitive thermal covers, the thermal covers especially are extremely uncomfortable though,.the only real practical method is heat reflecting ghillie blankets that go over the whole body
unfortunately it is layer upon layer and weighs a lot. There is some YT on the CV9040 which has taken a lot of beating and you can see some of the layers. As a masking net, only certain laws are used to become manageable at all. There are some exciting extra tidbits. The outer layer absorbs dirt and snow from the surroundings so the color matches the local surroundings.
Poland donated PT-91 compared to T-72 have 50% lower thermal and radar signature
"Radar signature" just add wings to it and you can return f-35 to USA))
Id seen this stuff but I didn't think it was more than some fancy scrim. Thanks for educating us!
FYI: If you record in some sort of LOG-Picture profile then you HAVE TO add a color conversion or a LUT to rec709 at the end or on top of your camera footage. Otherwise just chose any other mode in your camera witch will give you straight rec709 material...
Russia doesn't need Camo...Russia got Turtle 😅
😂😂😂😂
Master of disguise! 😂
😆always amazes me what crap they come up with, wtf, as a swede I´m not worried they´ll come for us, in the end they´ll need to pass the Finns, I wish them luck with that, Finns are warriors, but if in some imaginay world they would pass them we still got this nice tech and our own warriors, of course😏
The barracuda system is in use at both the 21st Mechanized Brigade with the CV9040c and the STRV122.
And also the 45th (not the 47th) Artillery Brigade with the FH77B Archer SPG System.
Both 21st and 45th (not the 47th) are often called The Swedish Brigades as they are kitted and trained by Swedish Military and Swedish Military Doctrine.
CV90 is the IFV.
STRV 122 is A heavily modified LEO2A5 built in Sweden it is also considered the best protected MBT in service.
FH77B Archer is the current top SPG in the world with a maximum range of over 65km, It is also the fastest when it comes to Shoot and Scoot in service, Germany is comming with their RCH155 to likely beat the Archer if it works as intended.
Sweden has also Donated all the remaining PBV302 which is something in between a M113 and a Bradley.
it is not a M113, Yes it looks abit like it but it is completly a diffrent vehicle.
And Sweden and Netherlands have donated CB90's which is the Barracuda clad boats in the picture.
I'm pretty sure it's the 45th artillery brigade that has the Archers, the 47th uses Bohdana.
@@boretrk i stand corrected. it is indeed 45th and not the 47th.
Thanks for the information,I liked and subscribed
What happens when you have a bunch of highly educated citizens in a country that got some really shitty weather for 6 months?
And also are highly motivated to defend against any potential aggression from the east.
Interesting subject. Subscribed.
Yup...Barracuda had the thing TIGHT, 'WAY back when....excellent chamo!
Love to Ukraine from Sweden!
I did a quick google and only 10% of CV90's have been lost while 30% of Bradleys have been lost. It's possible the Bradleys are involved in more intense fighting or have been fighting for longer. I wasn't sure how to check to see what percentage of the crew survived in either case.
Well, they got a greater number of Bradleys so it is fair to assume they had more front heat because of it also.
Sweden has only sent 50 CV90's. Percentages gets really iffy with such small numbers but clearly they are an appreciated asset by the Ukranians.
Thank you for contributing your research!
Cv90 mk1 also, really old
@@MA-nm8ju mk1 hulls, but upgraded to version C (stabilized sights, crew ACC, commanders multi-spectrum panoramic sight periscope, programmable ammo, commanders tactical display, drivers rear view camera and front view periscopes with NV, drivers nav display, extra side, front, top and bottom armor proof against soviet era shoulder fired and tank fired HEAT rounds, etc.
Well presented, concise and interesting! Just the way I like it. Well done, sir!
Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦
kind of feels like a Saab commercial, but very freaking cool.
Thanks Wes, your work is just excellent. Really appreciate it.
These kinds of tech advances do not get enough credit. I think in the last few years material engineering has come a long, long, way and needs much more attention. If they cannot find you they cannot attack you.
Great video. Making a comment here because of your close. Good job and Slava Ukraini.
Fanatstic!! Go Saab Go. CV90 also have plating camo do a video on that!!!🎉🎉🎉
This concept is not new, although the materials technology used have advanced over the years. The US Army experimented with this system in the early 90’s prior to Desert Storm, but that operation threw every principle related to camouflage and deception out the window. Even today, you see thousands of armored vehicles in desert tan. SAAB Baracuda has some of the most advanced technology available today, but often given lip service. Glad to see this report.
Wes, good video, good information, and interesting. First time I have seen your videos. I will subscribe. Friendly suggestions here, which I hope will help you: 1. Wear a dark garment (top), not a white one. 2. Adjust your white balance on your camera or do something about your lighting setup, as in this video everything, including you, appeared blue. Use the blue background light to make your face pop from the background, but your white balance needs to be set to make your face appear natural color. 3. Avoid a distracting background image or moving things in the background. Your set has a very busy background which detracts from you. 4. Avoid putting your hands in and out of your hoodie.
I hope these friendly suggestions help you. You have a good presentation, and the right tone and good speaking skills. Just need to work on the lighting of your set and video. :)
WFT 😂
Great information! Subscribed.
I have mentioned Bradley many times in my responds on YT. Bradleys are doing a fantastic job, I can't praise Bradleys enough. They save lives and kick the Orcs hard! About CV90, very little information leaks out about how they are doing. However, the little we do hear is that CV90 are doing well. Thank you for explaining Saabs camo system 👍
Well the fact that Sweden and Ukraine has agreed to produce CV90 in Ukraine, is the simple answer on what Ukrainians think works best against the Orchs, they are building the production facility as we are speaking ...
From my time in the Swedish armed forces, I can say that we are really good at camouflage. Expect us to be everywhere.
My wife dropped my swedish camo jacket on the lawn, i saw it in like slomo and screaming noooooo! It was three years ago, still lost...😂
🤣🤣🤣
SAAB is such a cool company, top of the class in everything they do. Just to bad they couldn't make their cars sell worldwide.
I learned something today. Thank you.
As a Swede, I never knew that we were so awesome.
Greetings from Spain. There have been ground surveillance radars since the mid-1960s. It is time to start working on stealth with IR radar, both for vehicles and for the uniforms, equipment and weapons of infantrymen.
Just look at everything Sweden makes its all top tier Supercars furniture anything it’s the culture of making sure everything is reliable and built properly as intended …….Ikea is a a nightmare but it’s all quality hehe
Great video and super interesting!
Buut definitely had to watch in 1.5x
Great Camo pattern and tech.
Fantastic report. Thank you.
Very informative. 👍.
The use of hollow nano tubing has some promising applications..the tubing is good for plus/ minus 100°
The tubing under test is 5x stronger than steel and as flexible as Kevlar
They just posted up a drone footage of 1 or 2 CV90s getting deleted yesterday. Maybe they weren't using this Camo net stuff on the CV90s they were using? Heres what is said from the article "Drone footage from Russia's 106th Airborne Division showing various destroyed/damaged/abandoned Ukrainian vehicles east and south of Veseloe, Kursk Oblast, including Marder, CV-90, and Bradley IFVs; Stryker and M113 APCs; and Kozak, MaxxPro, and Kirpi MRAPs. Many of these have already been seen.
Allegedly, around 1/3 of them were knocked out by artillery and ATGMs, another 1/3 by FPV drones and mines, and the rest by RPGs and other infantry weapons." Don't know if its working as intended ? or is it ? Maybe they need to past all the vehicles with the stuff so they all have the tech on them.
It actually showed the CV90 in the trees just destroyed and abandoned with all the other vehicles but they were not in a convoy they were scattered in the same area inside tree lines and fields and the CV90 it didn't look like that camo did much for it from the looks of the drone footage.
Even Swedish Tanning formula is " Secret ."
Way to go Saab. I wish you still made cars that we could get in North America.
Cool stuff. Thanks for the info.
Thank you Sweden for assisting Ukraine with such quality!
Great video. This fabric is voodoo
I wonder how it might perform with an under layer of kevlar?
They say there are actual invisibility cloaks... but I haven't seen any🐦🙆♀️
That means it's working!
"Vetinari, I didn't see you at this morning's camouflage lecture." "And your point being, sir?"😂
i can say as a swede, that all Swedish military equipment is top notch but only the Saab 39 Gripen is bad
Some constructive feedback for you. Your camera needs some contrast and saturation adjustment since right now it looks like "50 shades of gray" and not a full range colour video
Thanks for the great video, I am infinitely grateful for your support of Ukraine.
Starts at 3:29
Woah-oh-oh-oh Camouflage
Things are never quite the way they seem
Woah-oh-oh-oh Camouflage
I was awfully glad to see this big marine!
Picture of an E-3A AWACS on the wall is great. What squadron were you attached to? I was in the 964th. Once read a report that a Russian Battalion commander was expecting an inspection of his tanks. He arranged them all including those not running near trees. He then ordered his men to climb and paint the tree leaves to match the tanks. True story
Will this stuff shield a drone or a missel?
Makes so much sense, a country with a truly defensive military posture would develop the best camouflage systems. Mainly offensive strike & fast-attack military doctrines will have less priority for camouflage requirements. Ukraine & Taiwan would have high need for the most effective camouflage systems for their strategic defensive preparations
Sweden also provided Barracuda for their 12 Strv 122 and the Archers.
Saab should provide these systems for other vehicles as well.
Was the first use of camoflague in the 1054 battle in which Siward, Earl of Northumbria defeated Macbeth of Scotland?
"Birnam wood comes to Dunsinane" from Shakespeare's play Macbeth signifies that the advancing army rides to Dunsinane holding branches from Birnam wood to camoflague themselves.
It's probably cheaper than many alternatives and it can make quite a difference with little effort
The screenshot @2:45 is fun read for any Swedish person... 😂
Who was it that drove those two T-90's 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You may be able to camouflage a tank, but how do you camouflage the tracks it leaves ?
Interesting 😊 Thankyou Sweden 🇸🇪
Beautiful Stockholm 😍
Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦 xxxx
Looks good. Can I get this on Amazon?
I would add that as far as weapons go, the Swedish Viggen gets my vote as superior and more valuable than F -16
