(Ynet News) Yoav Zitun - The IDF on Monday revealed new fireproof uniforms for its reconnaissance and special forces that have already saved lives. Soldiers suffered only mild injuries when an explosive device was detonated during a recent operation in Nablus and their uniforms were able to absorb the flames. The soldiers also wore protective goggles that kept shrapnel from their eyes. The uniforms contain special fibers and threads. "As soon as sparks or live fire come into contact with the fabric, the fire-retardant mechanism within the fabric absorbs and extinguishes the fire, creating small holes in the uniform in a way that prevents direct contact with the skin," said Marina Hitrik, an engineer from the technology division of the IDF who is the driving force behind the development of the uniforms. "I felt an immense sense of pride knowing I helped avert a disaster. For me, every soldier is like my own child."2023-09-14 00:00:00Full Article
