Special forces to use strap-on 'Batwings'

As usual for the Daily Mail, this article is somewhat exaggerated. Actually, there is no confirmation that special forces will use this gear, developed by German company ESG, or that they will even evaluate it.

"Elite special forces troops being dropped behind enemy lines on covert missions are to ditch their traditional parachutes in favour of strap-on stealth wings. The lightweight carbon fibre mono-wings will allow them to jump from high altitudes and then glide 120 miles or more before landing - making them almost impossible to spot, as their aircraft can avoid flying anywhere near the target.
