Apache FLIR Video Taken Down (+ Update)

Do you remember this post and video: *VIDEO* Thermal Shield Test by Apache FLIR – Pass!?

Well, at the request of those that made and sent me the video, I have taken the video down.

I hope you watched it while you had the chance!

UPDATE: There has been a flurry of activity today as it appears that the chain of command of the team that sent me the Apache video have become aware of it and are pissed. I have been given no specifics as tho where the pressure is actually coming from. A better example of Regime influence I can’t think of! As a mark of respect and consideration for the team that sent me the video, and at their request, I have hidden the original post with the video, photos and commentary on it. I’ll be able to look into this more when I am back ‘in the office’ on Monday.

This action is about protecting those decent Patriots who fly those Apaches for an unspecified NG unit. They were good enough to do the testing and make it available to citizens.

I personally have received some flak for the research on the thermal shield concept and also for posting the FLIR video. Apparently I am aiding terrorism. To those who have said that, you are fucking ignorant morons. Where do you think I got the original idea for the MVT Shield from? I am no genius. It is well documented that insurgents in Afghanistan have long used ‘space blankets’ and even wool blankets to approach bases for attacks and also to try and evade FLIR surveillance. They also understand terrain and vegetation masking. They live or die by it. This concept is well known to insurgents. The people for whom it is not well known, are the American public.. Anyone think of a reason why this knowledge would be kept from the American public? No, I can’t think of any either….

I’ll have another look at this, and what is OK to publish, when I am back in on Monday. In the meantime: MVT SHIELD.

Also: Here is an Apache Video for your viewing pleasure. Do you think this reveals the capability of Apache FLIR? Probably not:

  1. That video really said it all! I was a bit afraid for the team filming wise for reasons to be left unsaid. Let me know when you will have the Max Velocity Flir blanket.

  3. That actually took longer then I thought it would. Let’s do everything we can to help those patriots.

  4. Wow. I doubt there could be a better endorsement for the MVT Shield than to have the “Brass” demand it’s censorship. Nor a better explanation as to why civilian patriots might need one.

  5. I can see their point, if I were hoping to use the tech against people who read this type of blog. Saw Frontline’s show about info gathering against Americans last night, very depressing. If you want, or need, another reason to be scared of our government, watch it. It was called, “United States of Secrets”.

    I hope your friends don’t get into too much trouble for helping US to be safe.

  6. Anyone here old enough to remember SFC Barry, the Special Forces Underground and “Witch Hunt for The Resister,” SOF, Feb. ’96?

    I would wager the Army is looking to burn these folks and anyone linked to the posting.

  7. My guess is what is closer to the truth is that the watchdogs of government waste, fraud and abuse are pressuring the brass for an unauthorized use of government property. I’m thinking a waste of taxpayers dollars in the eyes of the “watchdogs” overrules the release of sensitive information. Hell the movie about the Bin Laden raid put out more “sensitive” information to make the regime look good than this little space blanket ever will.

  8. Oh shit. Now PETA is going to be on your ass about showing the video of the wounding of some poor donkeys. You’re truly screwed now!!

    Part 2 of the Eye of the Drones series deals with defeating thermal imaging. As you may or may not know, thermal imaging is a drone’s primary source of detecting people. Used by elite forces around the world thermal imaging is the preferred source for detecting targets on land or by air. See in this video how we defeat thermal imaging.
