AIR DEFENCE ASSETS CAMOUFLAGE SETS

Mission

Camouflage sets are designed to conceal air defence assets and installations from reconnaissance carried out with: • optical devices - against vegetative (MKT-2L, MKT-3L), desert/steppe (MKT-2P) and snowy (MKT-2C) backgrounds; • optical and radar systems (MKT-3LR); • optical,thermal and radar assets (light-weight radio-dispersing camouflaging sets: Volchitsa-

KR-Land Volchitsa-KR-LG – against summer vegetative, Volchitsa-KR-P – desert/steppe and

Volchitsa-KR-C – snowy backgrounds).

conducting, dyed in mass and matted polyethylene film; • Volchitsa-KR 50x220mm strips or festoons from metallized two-side painted polyethylene terephtalate film.

Composition

Typical camouflage sets consist of 6-12 standard 3x6m sheets joined with quickly undone seams made of stitched cords. Standard sheets comprise a kapron netlike base with 50x50mm mesh size, backlined with a 3-5mm diameter kapron cord along the perimeter.

The net base holds different items interweaved in accordance with distortionpainting pattern: • MKT-2L (P,C,3L) 50x220mm strips/festoons made from dyed in mass and matted polyethylene film;

The above sets provide the following advantages: • resistance to water (moisture), fuel/lubricant (petrol, diesel fuel, oil) and detergent effects; • operability in a wide temperature range from -40°C to +50°C; • self-extinguishing cover material (without residual smouldering); • adaptability to camouflaging structures of different size and configuration; • availability of spare part kits for in-field repairs; • convenient deliver packages (in covered rolls with spare parts and documentation).

• MKT-3LR festoons made from two-side
