The organization "Golden Hands of an Angel" transferred another batch of humanitarian aid to the special operation zone – the first 10 anti-thermal imaging blankets, sewn using a new unique technology. Multilayer anti-thermal imaging blankets were developed by the volunteers themselves. They improved the design of conventional similar products to increase the effectiveness of protection against drones and enemy thermal imagers.
"Similar factory-made products are strictly rectangular in shape. We sew frills around the perimeter of the blanket so that it practically blends into the terrain and is indistinguishable to a drone. It becomes invisible to a thermal imager thanks to another know-how – the use of several types of special fabrics with protective properties," says Amira Magomedova, head of the "Molodogvardeets" branch of the volunteer organization "Golden Hands of an Angel" in Kuntsevo.
The exact fabrics that produce this effect are kept secret. Before mass production of the improved blankets began, they were tested in real combat conditions. The fighters who maintain constant contact with the volunteers highly appreciated the new product.
"During the blanket testing, we had, you could say, a miraculous rescue story. I needed to evacuate a wounded comrade. An enemy drone spotted us. I covered myself and my comrade with blankets, and the drone flew past without noticing us. Two lives were saved," said one of the soldiers.
Volunteers have already received 150 applications for such products from military units. The next batch will be sent to the front line on October 7.
Where it all began
The organization "Golden Hands of an Angel" was created in March 2022. Its leader, Muscovite Lyudmila Sushetskaya, responded to the call of one of the founders of the national school of tactical medicine, a participant in the military operations in Donbass, surgeon Yuri Yevich. He asked volunteers to join in sewing soft stretchers for the rapid evacuation of the wounded from the battlefield. Lyudmila purchased the first batch of slings and threads with her own money. She very quickly found like-minded seamstresses and received support from benefactors. Today, "Golden Hands of an Angel" has 16 branches in Moscow and the Moscow region, one of the first opened in the Kuntsevo district.
What do they sew and knit?
The Molodogvardeets workshop, located in Kuntsevo, began operating in May 2023. During this time, volunteers have manufactured and sent to the SVO zone more than two thousand evacuation stretchers, a thousand evacuation slings, 500 field stools (seats), more than 150 Chimera and Kikimora camouflage suits, and 50 protective boxes for drones.
In addition, volunteers sew fleece hats and sweaters at home. For hospitals, they make boots for the Ilizarov apparatus, as well as special pillows for the wounded, whose arm or leg is in traction during treatment.
