Nakidka is a Russian radar-absorbent material (RAM) camouflage that "eliminates the use of precision-guided weapons".
[2] According to NII Stali (Scientific Research Institute of Steel), which designed Nakidka, it reduces the chances of detection by day/night viewers and TV systems and seekers by thirty percent, infrared seekers by two- to three-fold, radar by six-fold, and reduces the thermal-radar signature to near-background levels.
It is also capable of withstanding combat conditions, such as taking small arms fire or a napalm attack.
[2] In 2006, during the Russian Expo Arms and International Defense Exhibition of Land Forces, a T-72BM "Rogatka" (an upgraded T-72B) fitted with Nakidka was demonstrated.
[5] In early 2023 a Russian T-90M was supposedly targeted by a Javelin which engaged and disabled the tank normally, despite being fully equipped with Nakidka.
