North Korea: Manual Describes Camouflage Tactics, Radar-Absorbing Paint

North Korea has apparently developed a radar-absorbing paint to help hide its aircraft, warships and tanks, reports South Korea's Chosun Ilbo, citing a field manual obtained by the paper.

The newspaper says the 80-page manual, dated 2005, includes detailed instructions on how to make and apply radar-absorbent paint and build a variety of fake facilities, including command posts, foxholes, runways, jet aircraft and naval bases.

The manual also describes how to conceal actual facilities or equipment and to make military units look like they are moving in order to deceive South Korean and U.S. reconnaissance.
