The Ministry of Defense confirmed that they are testing technology they claim makes tanks and troops invisible.The highly secret trials were conducted by the Royal Engineers and scientists from specialist researchers QinetiQ, the former research arm of the MoD described the tests successful after they were able to make a vehicle seem to completely disappear.

“This technology is absolutely incredible. If I hadn’t been present I wouldn’t have believed it,” a soldier present at the trials said. “I looked across the fields and just saw grass and trees - but in reality I was staring down the barrel of a tank gun.”

The breakthrough uses cameras and projectors to beam images captured from the surrounding landscape on to a specially-adapted tank coated with silicon to maximise their reflective qualities.

The result is that the naked eye sees only the view which is behind the tank.
