Thermal vision: lessons and way-outs

  • 1 University of Defence, Brno, Czech Republic

Abstract

Thermal vision, since 2022, has started to be more widely utilized as a tool in security. The Ukrainian conflict showed us how to use it in practice. The article presents lessons from this conflict. The main chapters deal with questions of how thermal vision influences the activities of combat units. The authors are studying this phenomenon from the perspective of the theory of military tactics, supported by their own experiments and experiences.
