Different countries had different approaches to camouflage uniforms. Firstly, camouflage patterns change over time, improving protective functions and adapting to different types of terrain. Secondly, Various types troops have different camouflage.
The camouflage was not always successful. For example, the Americans got into trouble with “forest” camouflage, adapted for deciduous forests middle zone, in the deserts of Afghanistan and Iraq. The error was corrected, but the cost of this error was very high.
Successful samples do not always continue to exist. For example, the border camouflage “birch” was removed from service and remained only in reconnaissance camouflage kits. Various versions of the “birch” can be purchased in stores specializing in camouflage for hunting, fishing and airsoft.
Let's look at the types of camouflages, both currently used and in historical perspective.
Khaki
The progenitor of all modern camouflage.
Basic color of protective clothing. It first appeared in service with the British Army in 1896.
The Americans adopted the British experience and dressed their army in khaki by 1899.
Khaki is the basic field camouflage color and is used as the basis for the development of almost all types of camouflage clothing. This color also used by default for painting surfaces, weapons, and objects.
Amazingly, the style called “mud”, which is how the word khaki is translated from Persian, has conquered not only the trenches, but also the catwalks of high fashion and has stubbornly maintained its position throughout the century. In fashion, there are varieties of the use of khaki color - safari style - with patch pockets, wide belts and fitted silhouettes, and military style - an aggressive style that hides the outlines of the body.
Olive (Olive Green)
Olive. Also considered a classic camouflage pattern. Deeper color compared to khaki. While khaki is adapted to the desert, Olive Green has a broader application profile. Used by the US Army in World War II, the Korean and Vietnam Wars.
Along with khaki, olive is widely used in the fashion industry, in the field of design, especially relaxation design. Often used in good medical and rehabilitation sanatoriums.
“Black” version (dark gray), black camouflage with a slight smoky tint.
It is used primarily by intelligence agencies during night operations, and is also used by paramilitary and prison guards.
Black camouflage can also be used for intimidation. A kind of advanced cinematic ninja camouflage.
Navy Blue
Classic camouflage, originally named marine blue, was used by the British Navy from 1748. Blue color nautical uniform subsequently it was borrowed by many countries of the world and was reflected in uniforms, workwear and even school uniforms.
 |
Snow camo"Snow" camouflage. Widely used by special services for field reconnaissance. Camouflage is designed for special military units, reconnaissance and special forces in the Arctic, Antarctic and for operations in the winter season. |
 |
Brushstroke, Denison camo This type of “brush stroke” camouflage was created in Britain and was used in the arsenal of various countries around the world until 1960. Depicts multidirectional broad brush strokes on a khaki base. Used mainly in tropical and Asian countries. It became the basis for the “brushstroke” camouflages of lizard, tiger, and knight. |
 |
GLC. 1975-76 Anti-radiation protection mesh camouflage with digital pattern. Currently out of print. The fabric was impregnated with special substances that prevented combustion. A spacious mesh camouflage suit was worn over the uniform. After use, the suit was not reused, but was buried or burned. Scope of application: reconnaissance, army. |
 |
Oak, butane 1984. Army camouflage. Initially developed for airborne forces and landing forces. Three-color forest camouflage. Currently used in aviation and airborne units.Also used in various modifications for tourist clothing. In many respects it coincides with the American Woodland camouflage pattern. |
 |
Flora and digital flora(simulating a two-color pixel breakdown). Three-color army camouflage, which replaced the “butane” one. Currently in use. Features a more dynamic silhouette. The color is also called “watermelon”. |
 |
Birch, gold leaf, silver leaf, sunbeam, border guard. Legendary camouflage with a pattern that imitates the play of light in foliage. Developed for border troops. Subsequently used in reconnaissance and airborne units. In the West, the pattern is known as “KGB camouflage.” |
 |
Palm. Camouflage pattern from 1944. Tropical vegetation. Demonstrates the breadth of views of the Soviet leadership. Camouflage was used in reconnaissance and sabotage units of the Second World War. |
 |
Amoeba. 1935 Two-tone camouflage with an amoeba-like breaking pattern. When moving, the contours of the figure blur, like an amoeba. An interesting visual effect, despite the apparent simplicity of execution. |
 |
Knight, "reed". Camouflage developed for special purpose troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Variations of the “tiger” camouflage, which is reflected in the name, which clearly refers to the “Knight in the Tiger Skin”. There are winter and summer options. Can be used in both urban and field conditions. |
 |
VSR-93, “vertical”. Combined arms camouflage 1993. |
Modern Russian camouflages are freely available

Britannia
Britain is the founder of industrial army camouflage. The prototypes of many camouflage patterns were developed in Britain. The blue uniform of sailors, khaki, olive, brush stroke camouflage for desert areas - all these are inventions of the British.
Disruptive Pattern Material(explosion, splash of texture) one of the main camouflages based on strokes of various directions. From the classic smear camouflage with a “wide brush” this type characterized by greater randomness and uneven width of the stroke.
Germany, Wehrmacht, GDR, Federal Republic of Germany
 |
Rauchtarnmuster Camouflage ideal for deciduous and coniferous forest summer and autumn. There was a separate option for spring. An experimental batch of double-sided camouflage was also released, with a different pattern on the reverse side. Used in SS assault brigades. |
 |
Splittermuster, WH splintertarn. The first German army camouflage. 1931 Camouflage is also called “fragmented” or “broken glass”. One of the neatest camouflages in the world. Color spots of four colors, approximately the same shape and size, were applied at equal intervals. |
 |
SS – Eichenlaubmuster, WH eichentarn.“Oak” camouflage as interpreted by the Wehrmacht. The drawing was created for the Waffen-SS. Known in variations: 6 colors (burgundy, black, olive, green, brown on basic khaki) version of 1942. There is also a variant using 5 colors - with the exception of burgundy. |
For each camouflage option, winter and summer options colors.
 |
SS-Erbsenmuster, getarnter Drillichanzug. A simplified version of the Wehrmacht camouflage pattern of March 1944. Universal colors, without division into winter and summer. Suits and overalls of this color were sewn using common oversized patterns. The camouflage pattern was adjusted to fit the figure on site. A special decree approved the requirement for each serviceman to have at least 2 items of camouflage colors. |
 |
GDR DDR-Russisches Tarnmuster. The first camouflage of the GDR army in the “Russian style”. Used approximately from the 40s until 1958. There are 2 modifications. Brown spots and brown spots with a black outline. |
 |
Strichtarnmuster, NVA strichtarn, “rain” Camouflage of the GDR army from 1965 to 1990. It is a simplified variation of the Splittermuster camouflage. Brown stripes based on khaki. |
 |
NVA Flachentarn, Blumentarn, “floral” camouflage. Used in internal troops GDR from 1950 to 1967. It is based on Splittermuster with spots blurred along the edges. |
 |
B.W. flecktarn. This designation covers a whole class of fairly successful camouflage patterns. Derived from the words fleck (spot) and Tarnung (camouflage). In translation, flecktarn is a camouflage based on random spots. Originally called Flecktarnmuster, developed in the 70s. |
Used by German troops in the 80s. Distinctive feature camouflage in detail size. Camouflage spots are small in size. There are variants with a predominance of black-brown or green and olive colors.
Currently, derivatives of flecktarn are used in many countries, particularly in Poland and China.
Basic US camouflages
 |
Woodland. The most common US camouflage pattern. Developed in the mid-80s. Available in 4 basic versions. Currently in army units it is replaced by MARPAT.
|
 |
3-color desert. Desert three-color camouflage. The Airborne Forces were actively used in Afghanistan and Iraq. Was replaced by a more successful MARPAT camouflage |
 |
6-color desert, Chocolate Chip, chocolate. Wave-like soft pattern in brown tones with imitation of small stones. Currently not used in the US Army, but this camouflage is actively supplied to “friendly” US units. |
 |
Digital woodland. Digital forest. The main camouflage of the US Army at the moment. A very good option for camouflage painting. No worse than “birch” - the best camouflage of the USSR. There are three main variants of MARPAT camouflage - forest, desert and urban. The color mixing algorithm is preserved, the color balance and the ratio of the number of spots of the base color change. |
 |
Digital desert. Digital desert. A variation of MARPAT in which the olive base is replaced with basic khaki. A variant of “digital” camouflage for the desert. |
 |
AT-digital. Three-color camouflage based on MARPAT. The colors used are khaki, olive and brown. |
 |
Multicam. Modified Woodland (a discontinued type of camouflage) used by commercial firms and security agencies. Good camouflage, but the developers overcomplicated the pattern, which led to a decrease in camouflage properties. |
Canada camouflage
 |
CADPAT. Modification of MARPAT digital camouflage. There is debate as to who exactly was the first to come up with this type of camouflage. Let's not insist. Perhaps MARPAT is a modification of CADPAT. Perhaps it's the other way around. The principle of constructing camouflage colors is the same. |
 |
JACKET, GARRISON, LAND, Canadian "forest" camouflage. Suitable for both deciduous and coniferous forests. |
 |
Duck hunter. The glorious translation of "The Duck Hunter". Camouflage for hunters. It consists of large spots of color on olive or khaki. Sold in sporting and hunting stores. It is good because it is able to provide relative invisibility for animals, but the hunter remains visible to people, which is especially important when hunting. |
Camouflages of China
Number. Pixel art is widespread and used in almost all armies of the world. Due to its high adaptability to any surface and ease of reproduction of patterns in any color range, it is in high demand.
New modifications of digital camouflage are constantly being developed.
flecktarn"spots" in Chinese modification. Green protective camouflage was adopted as a combined arms weapon with virtually no changes, and was also used for border and internal troops.
Desert option with a predominance of khaki was developed for the Beijing police and troops in Tibet. In general, the Chinese army copies the successful colors of other countries.
" is a spotted or pixelated camouflage color used to reduce visibility in environment clothes of people, equipment, weapons and other objects due to blurring and breaking the silhouette of an object or person. Camouflage is designed and used to make it difficult for the enemy to recognize the outlines of a person or equipment on the ground when using visual, photo, or optoelectronic detection methods.
The coloring of camouflage, as a rule, is a multicolor (2-4 colors) spotted pattern or design (large or small spots of various colors), blurring and distorting the outlines of the fighter.
For the first time in the world, camouflage appeared in the “Khaki” coloring during the Boer War (1899-1902) - this war fought for the independence of the Transvaal from England. The British at that time wore red uniforms, which is why they suffered heavy losses compared to the Boers, who knew how to use the terrain around them for camouflage. As a result, the British army was dressed in a marsh-colored uniform (“khaki”). Further, camouflage began to be actively used by various armies, and during the Second World War, Germany had about 30 different camouflage colors in service, some of them later migrated to the Soviet army (example: “birch” camouflage, which is used and modernized to this day.
Since the Cold War, camouflage has been divided into five large groups:
- “Forest” - “Woodland” - used mainly in Europe and America;
- “Desert” - “Desert” - used in North Africa And Central Asia:
- “Jungle” (tropical) - “Tropical Uniform” - used in South-East Asia, South America;
- “Winter” is actually the winter camouflage itself, in which white colors predominate.
- “Bush” - “Bush” - used in Southern Africa, there are very few types of this camouflage, due to the limited terrain and countries.
Since the 1960s, the development of types of camouflage began to occur at a rapid pace and currently there are great amount types and colors of camouflage, ranging from military to commercial options. But at the same time, it is necessary to understand that there is no universal camouflage in principle; therefore, each color was created and designed to work only in environmental conditions and seasons specific to it.
There are several types of colors and names of camouflage types:
Army camouflage (Army camouflage used by the military of different countries);
Commercial camouflage (Commercial camouflage - those color variations that have not entered service with army units for some reason, and are currently produced by certain companies (factories) exclusively for independent military units and fans of hunting or tactical games. Also for commercial types camouflage can be attributed to variations of existing army colors, from which additional colors were excluded, or, conversely, added).
Army camouflage of the Armed Forces of Russia and the USSR:
Digital Russian camouflage (Digital flora):
New pixel camouflage for the Russian Armed Forces.
VSR-98 Flora (Armed Forces of Russia-98 Flora):
It has been the main Russian combined arms camouflage since 1998 (based on the official designation). Camouflage "Flora" camouflages a person very well in central Russia. Because of its characteristic stripes, Flora was nicknamed “watermelon” camouflage. Available in three variations.
VSR-93 (Armed Forces of Russia-93):
He is also a “vertical”. Russian camouflage pattern from 1993.
Butane (Oak):
Aka “Dubok” This camouflage was developed in 1984. This pattern breaks up the silhouette of a person well at various distances against the background of vegetation.
Silver leaf 1957):
Camouflage “Silver leaf”, also known as “Birch” and “sunbeams”, as well as “border guard camouflage”. Camouflage with a deforming pattern, model 1957. Excellent for camouflage in deciduous forests of central Russia.

Camouflage is camouflage. Camouflage allows you to hide an object or person in natural conditions due to visual changes in color and shape. That is why they strive to make clothing for the military, as well as for hunters, from materials that imitate the color of natural objects.
The camouflage effect of camouflage is achieved due to the fact that with correctly selected colors and patterns, an object with clearly defined contours is broken down into a chaotic accumulation of spots, some of which will be a natural color for the area, while others will simply be lost among the general background.
The right camouflage shade is one that matches the shades prevailing in a particular area. That is, each of the colors of spotted camouflage used must correspond to the prevailing colors of the territory where it will be used (taking into account their seasonal changes) - then the desired effect will be achieved, and the person or object will not be visible.
Using the wisdom of nature
Observing the behavior of animals, how they appear and disappear seemingly from nowhere, a person realized that the optimal option for passive protection is precisely correct selection clothes and their colors. This is how the development of special camouflage for military purposes and hunting began.
Just like animal skins, it can have different colors and shades. It all depends on the terrain in which it will be used. Thus, it is reasonable for security, riot police and any units working in urban conditions to be disguised in shades of asphalt and concrete, and therefore the urban uniform has predominantly gray tones.
In forests and fields it is better to use green camouflage, in deserts - yellowish, and so on. If a unit is planning to be sent to fight in any specific conditions, and the terrain is known in advance, they usually try to issue camouflage in the appropriate shades so that its use is appropriate. In many cases, this form is used together with special paints for the face, which help blur its contours - as a rule, it is the head that unmasks a person, since its outlines are too recognizable.
Some camouflage patterns:
Sometimes, in addition to camouflage, local plants are also used to make the camouflage more realistic - they can be attached directly to clothing. This practice is often used by snipers who occupy a static position - the person even camouflages the weapon so that the shine does not give it away. And as a result, it completely merges with the terrain, turns out to be a natural part of it, is perceived as a small bump, or remains completely invisible. Camouflage nets and other auxiliary camouflage elements also perfectly help hide both people and objects on the ground.
Natural camouflage
Nature itself taught this method of passive defense. Many animals do not run away at the sight of a predator, but simply hide and successfully avoid the threat:
| A moth can spend the daytime on a tree trunk and literally disappear against the background of the bark, invisible to birds and insectivorous animals. | Deer and other animals can also successfully camouflage themselves in grass or leaf litter that hides them. | |||
 |
|
|||
| Predators also use similar means - among the sun-scorched grass, bushes and branches, they instantly dissolve. | The hare molts twice a year to match the color of the area - for the same purposes. | |||

How does camouflage work?
An important aspect of the advisability of using camouflage is not only the color, but also the size of the spots, as well as their relative position. It’s ideal when they allow you to not only blur, but also break, literally “break” a person’s silhouette. Completely distorted body contours do not allow the enemy’s vision to “assemble” the silhouette anew, and even the most developed imagination and intuition turn out to be useless.
Camouflage is, of course, very useful, but when using it, a person must also know in what conditions it will work especially effectively. Natural shadow helps to break the silhouette into shades and spots - the lack of light and additional spotting together create an ideal camouflage.
Also, a person who wants to remain invisible should not make sudden movements, and, if possible, try not to move at all. You should not give yourself away through sounds (talking, coughing, sneezing), smells (tobacco, perfume) or any other means. If you need to move, you should use natural shelters, not move at full height, and periodically lie behind obstacles, and then the camouflage will fully justify its purpose.
These rules are especially important to know and follow for a hunter who usually uses civilian camouflage. A person who decides to compete with animals in this regard must be extremely careful, choose clothes according to the time of year and the colors prevailing in the area.
History of modern camouflage
In military practice, modern typical multi-color camouflage began to be actively used at the beginning of the twentieth century, and during the Second World War it was used together with single-color: it was mainly issued to snipers, Luftwaffe and SS special forces soldiers, and paratroopers.
During these times, all the advantages of a multi-color military suit became clear to humanity; everyone was clearly convinced that it was not a luxury, and indeed turned out to be much more effective than a plain one. Today the troops use just such camouflage fabrics - multi-colored ones. Camouflage clothing made from them makes a person invisible on the ground with minimal effort on his part - and this has been proven in numerous local wars past and present centuries.
Camouflage allows you to hide your positions and even equipment from the enemy, remain invisible, and, therefore, alive. Over the past decades, a huge number of shades and patterns have been tested, and currently only the most effective fabrics are used in troops around the world, capable of literally dissolving a person on the ground so much that he turns into a real invisible man.
Camouflage in modern fashion
If we look at military-style clothing - namely, stylized, and not real army clothing, you can see even more types and colors of camouflage. It turned out that multi-colored fabrics with blurry patterns are not only practical in war in the field, but also very beautiful. By making the colors just a little brighter, and sometimes even using “military” fabric with its typical coloring, you can create very stylish things.
Both real army clothing from different countries and items stylized as military remain equally fashionable and relevant today. They are practical and almost always look neat - the spots are lost among the washed-out coloring. From the point of view of hunters, camouflage items have no equal at all - they allow people to successfully engage in their favorite craft.
Camouflage is a French term meaning "camouflage". The name is very laconic and accurately conveys the purpose of camouflage - the difficulty of identifying the outlines of a person or any object by an enemy, an animal, or a bird. To implement this task, various visual, optoelectronic and photographic methods are used.
For the first time, according to historical data, camouflage clothing was used during the Anglo-Boer conflict (1899-1902). The Boers effectively used the terrain for camouflage, and the red-coated British made excellent targets and suffered heavy losses. The British command made a radical decision and dressed its soldiers in khaki uniforms, which made them difficult to recognize and reduced losses.
Later, the topic of camouflage began to be actively developed, primarily in the military sphere. For example, the armed forces of Nazi Germany already used about thirty different camouflage colors. Today, camouflage is used by almost all armies of the world; it has its own classification, divided into types and types.
First of all, camouflage colors are divided into standard and non-standard. By standard they mean precisely a military classification, a kind of “adoption” by the armies of countries around the world. Non-standard are all kinds of camouflage colors created by various companies and organizations involved in the development and production of clothing for hunters. Vivid examples Non-standard camouflage colors include the currently actively used types “reed”, “autumn forest”, “sedge” and so on.
Military (standard) camouflage colors are divided into five main types, tied to the characteristics of the landscape and types of vegetation in a certain area:
Different types of camouflage colors are used depending on the terrain; there are no universal types of camouflage.
Soviet and Russian camouflage even today consists in part of copies or close analogues of German camouflage versions from the Second World War. These include the “Silver Leaf” of 1957. It is also called “Birch” and “Sunny Bunny”. The camouflage is two-color, consists of a green background and a deforming pattern, close to modern “digital”. Borrowed from Germany also include the “Palm Tree” camouflage patterns of the 1944 model (produced in four seasonal versions - summer, autumn, winter, spring), the colors “ Deciduous forest"model 1942, version "Ameba" 1935 (camouflage had several options), modern camouflage“Partisan” (tracing copy from the German “Eichentarna”).
Among modern domestic ones, we also note the camouflage colors of VSR-93 (“Vertical”, camouflage colors of the 1993 model),
VSR-98 “Flora” (aka “Cabbage”, the main camouflage of the Russian Armed Forces since 1998. A very successful, but already outdated camouflage. Also nicknamed “watermelon” camouflage, produced in three versions).
In addition to the indicated camouflage colors, the “Oak” camouflage, also known as “Butan”, was very popular. The color scheme was developed in 1984 and had several versions. Until recently, it was the main camouflage for Ukrainian military personnel.
One of the last Russian developments— “Digital Flora” camouflage. The Russian one was made from fabric with exactly this pattern. military uniform designed by Yudashkin.
The German versions of the camouflage are WH splintentarn (camouflage pattern of the 1931 model, which historians call the first German camouflage version). This camouflage was applied to raincoats. It was a “splintered” pattern of spots of green and dark brown, with short thin strokes over the entire area. Applied to light brown fabric of a raincoat. Produced in several versions.
Next is the previously mentioned “Eichentarn”, produced in summer and autumn versions (camouflage of the 1942 model, very successful, in 1943 it gave “life” to a similar camouflage “Eichenlaubmaster”), NVA Flachentarn colors (used by the East German Armed Forces from 1950 to 1967 ), NVA Strichtarn (was in service with the GDR Armed Forces from 1965 to 1990, in fact, it is a simplified version of WH splintentarn, from which splinter spots were removed and only “rain” was left), Tarnmuster (German camouflage pattern of the 1956 model, with amoeboid spots),
Flectarn (a very successful camouflage pattern from 1985 with a crushing pattern, produced in various versions, still in use today),
Tropentern (camouflage model 1991, is a desert version of the Flectarn camouflage).
The United States of America has developed a lot different versions camouflage Let's talk about the main ones. This is, first of all, Woodland, a camouflage designed for wooded area in the 80s of the twentieth century. It is considered the most common type of camouflage in the world, has several versions and more than a dozen “clones” in the armies of the world, with their own indices. The US Army had four main options - basic, lowland (with a predominance of green spots), mountain (with a majority of brown spots) and intermediate - for camouflage in the optical and infrared ranges. Today in the United States, Woodland camouflage is considered obsolete.
MARPAT camouflage is an American “digital” camouflage for Marines. Replaced Woodland. It has three versions - Digital Woodland (basic), Digital Desert (desert), Digital Urban (urban).
The ACU PAT pattern is a digital camouflage pattern for US Army ground units. Developed based on MARPAT.
Khaki camouflage is dirty gray, plain. It is historical, almost legendary. Used in the USA during World War II. It is still used by some armies of the world, despite the fact that many consider it to be obsolete.
Olive camouflage - also monochromatic, was used by the US Armed Forces in Korea and Vietnam. For many connoisseurs it is also considered a cult. Fidel Castro wore an olive uniform almost his entire life.
For the desert in the USA, versions of camouflage 3-color Desert (created on the basis of Woodland, consists of spots of three colors - pale green, light brown and dark brown) and 6-color Desert (color similar to 3-color Desert) were developed , but consists of spots of 6 colors). These camouflages were used by the US Armed Forces in Iraq and Afghanistan before the advent of modern “digital” versions.
Multicam camouflage was developed as a replacement for the popular Woodland. It has smooth, rounded outlines of spots, unlike MARPAT and ACU PAT. It is a commercial camouflage option and is almost never used by regular units of the US Armed Forces.
The Tiger color scheme (“Tiger” or “Tiger” camouflage) is designed for combat operations in tropical jungle conditions. It has been and continues to be used by various countries (for example, Cuba). Occasionally, variations of this color are found in the ranks of the Russian Armed Forces.
The UK uses DPM (Distruptive Pattern Material) camouflage for its armed forces. The camouflage pattern consists of spots and strokes of four colors (sand, black, green, brown). Available in several versions. There is the so-called Dutch DPM (it differs slightly in color, the structure of the spots is similar to the British camouflage). England also uses DDPM (Desert DPM) camouflage - a desert version of the standard general-arms British camouflage.
France uses the CCE Camo pattern, developed in the 90s of the twentieth century. The coloring has a lot in common with the American Woodland. For use in the desert, France uses the Daguet Desert pattern camouflage, a CCE camouflage adapted for the given terrain. Used by French troops in Iraq. During the Algerian campaign and later (by French Foreign Legion soldiers), the Lizzard pattern (Leopard) camouflage was used, which has a visual similarity to the Tiger camouflage.
Canada uses the CADPAT camouflage pattern. Essentially, camouflage is a version of MARPAT.
The Finnish Armed Forces use M05 camouflage, a modern “digital” camouflage designed specifically for the Finnish forest.
The Italian Armed Forces use the Vegetato camouflage pattern, a digital pattern of brown, sand and black spots on a green background. There is also a desert version of this camouflage - Desertato.
Denmark uses Flectarn-D camouflage for its armed forces. As you might guess, this coloring is the Danish version of the German Flectarn (contains more green spots). Desert camouflage was also developed based on Flectarn-D.
Norway is armed with the M75 camouflage and its later version, the M98. This is a three-color camouflage pattern consisting of large patches of light green, dark green and brown.
Sweden uses M/90 camouflage - modern version German fragmented camouflage splintentarn, adopted for service in 1990. In addition to the specified colors, the Swedish Armed Forces use the desert version of the M/90 to conduct operations in the appropriate area. Among the exotic versions of camouflage, we note the airborne troops of Benin, which use the so-called “Airborne” camouflage - a coloring closest to the Norwegian M98 camouflage with black or brown images of animals (lions, buffaloes and paw prints) applied to it.
The Royal Malayan Regiment uses a camouflage pattern called "Forest Zebra". The closest color to this version is the French CCE camouflage, but with brighter and more saturated colors. There are other military camouflage patterns, but they are either versions of popular camouflages, or are used very rarely and in small numbers, so there is not much point in describing them.
At the end of the article, we will point out the existence of the so-called 3D camouflage - a new American development, the concept of which was put forward by the Kryptek company. According to representatives of the manufacturer, this color represents the implementation of the latest achievements in this area, and in addition combines the best and modern techniques optical illusion. So far, 3-D camouflage is being tested and, quite likely, it will soon be adopted by the US Army.
