spy plane:

hey we have just spotted a crap load of tanks, their fancy cameras are not covering the tops,

submarine somewhere:

cool, launch cruise missile

minutes later:

a zillion smouldering wrecks with broken cameras strewn all over the place.

-it doesnt even have to be a spy plane, there is no way you could move more then 10 tanks without a satalite picking it up and pin pointing your position.

If thats the most likely scenario. Why bother with tanks?
Start making white flags instead. Big ones. That can be seen from superduper spacespysatelite (tm)

1. even if they could hear it they couldn't see it

2. i was thinking more of Afghanistan with big open terrain were you could be holding up.

3. well i cant be assed any more , this technology can only help, can only get better, can only save lives full stop.

This technology will be helpful on setting up ambushes, not country vs country - think of a Abrams sitting near a road in Iraq being invisible, when it spots an IED team laying down explosives it unleashes hell on them.

Invisible jacket. There is also a video of it in action.

It sounds like this tank uses the same tech as the Japanese invisible jacket. Now keep in mind that this is a few years old, so what its capable of these days is, I don't know.

You can hear the tank but you cant see the tank.Even if you hear that theres a tank near you, you cant shoot RPGs randomly.
