Topic Reading-Vol.1455-4/5/2016

Dear MEL Topic Readers,
The story behind China’s “Minecraft” military camo
Camouflage [ˈkæməflɑʒ]. Is it still such a big deal to visually camouflage armored vehicles when the enemy troops might have already known what, where and how fast they are moving by reconnaissance activities using satellites, drones and infrared scopes?  Do troops still aim the target visually and manually?
Maybe so because modernized Chinese armed forces, People’s Revelation Army, showed off digitally camouflaged armed vehicles proudly at the 70th anniversary of WWII in Beijing in October 2015. The armored vehicles paraded were all painted withdigital’ camouflage patterns. You may wonder how such artificial and unnatural patters blend in the surrounding nature. But in fact, it is the trend in most of the modern armed forces around the world.
Enjoy reading and learning how humans’ eyes are tricked so easily.
