I kind of played with this idea when the military was deployed in Boston. Now that their uniform and paint signatures are designed to camouflage them from infrared signatures in the forests they stick out like a sore thumb in the city.

Only because the ruled class allows to ruling class to think that life is cheap.

Pretty neat, but it’s traditional camouflage which is custom to different environments.

#16> we actually registered a patent on it in many countries around the world Isn’t this counter-productive for military tech that’s supposed to give your troops an advantage in combat?
..unless one does not plan to go at war with countries where it registered patents
Could they also prevent it from being made by competitors and then refuse to distribute it in those countries? If not denying it to those countries at least delaying it in bureaucracy?

Uh.
Patent registrations are public. Details about a registered patent in any country will be available to all countries worldwide.
It is also unlikely that a country would opt to abide by intellectual property treaties when at war.

I believe that portions of the enigma machine technology were patented and later reviewed for exploitation by the British.

Pure speculation here... the only ground combat scenario Israel really has to worry about is with Hezbollah. So the calculation must be that either Iran doesn't have the materials expertise to manufacture this, or else they can and Israel has either compromised the supply chain, has technology to see through it on some other part of the EM spectrum, or both. For all we know it lights up like a Christmas tree if you hit it with millimeter wave from a drone. Either way, the Iranians probably will assume this and therefore not pursue the technology. Maybe they learned it was already leaked to Iranian intelligence, so by making it public now they raise too many doubts for the enemy to use it.

It is quickly moving towards endangering human lives on one side of the conflict (the poorer side who lacks the technology). When the transition is complete, we will likely see more conflicts, as the cost of the war (both in terms of money and in domestic public opinion) significantly decreases for one side.
