Borders, Frogs, Predators, Lizards & Pixels: Ukraine’s Search for a Standardized Camouflage Pattern

[@kingofwishfulthinking2490]

The MM14 looks like what most people expected UCP to look like when it first came out in 2004. There were mockups online that showed UCP originally in shades of light green and tan, that it almost looked like digital multicam/scorpion. Then when it finally came out and turned out to be gray…

[@DeltaEchoGolf]

That is what UCP should have been. It ended up being just urban camo in digital form.

[@wh8787]

Grey works every equally ... Equally badly!

[@JohnDoe-mp1yn]

@@wh8787 grey is actually great

[@notjohnnyrico]

well it's not just grey.. it's light grey/an almost white shade of grey. i mean Austria has been using plain grey (Feldgrau) uniform for decades and honestly it looks blends better than their new camouflage pattern.

[@wh8787]

@@notjohnnyrico yes, obviously it has a variety of different shades, one of them isn't even technically grey, it's "sage" but the problem is that in any vegetative environment, it stands out badly. It also only works marginally well in a desert, so that leaves urban environments, arctic environments, and mountains. The problem is that camouflage in general isn't that useful in urban warfare (arguably UCPs most suitable application), and while it works OK in snowy environments, other specialised patterns work far better, and the US military didn't really do any fighting in arctic conditions, leaving a bit of mountain warfare in Afghanistan... There is a reason soldiers hated it and the US army got rid of it really quickly. Yes, my original comment was deliberately flippant, but the pattern itself was bad. Feldgrau is effective, but also a different thing.

The colour works a bit like East German Strichtarn, picks up ambient light very well so can appear grey, brown or green depending on the surroundings and lighting.

My Stepson is an Ukrainian Army Officer and always referred to the MM14 pattern as "the pixel". I guess he didn't ever heard about its official designation. In peacetime Ukraine you could buy a full uniform in street fairs for a few coins. I own several items and they are very well crafted.

[@miscellaneous263]

Yeah, it's widely known as "pixel", indeed. I bought one myself in a local store a year ago, it cost me roughly $45

[@aryanpugilist]

Yeah, that's not an uncommon name. Either "pixel" or "digital" is a standard name for any pattern that features pixels.

[@UH1Phil]

Thank you for the video, I have a full set of Varan from P1G-Tac (not the ZSU) which I play airsoft in (Sweden), and it's crazy effective. It blends in absolutely perfectly in fields/tall grass, and in spring/fall people get mesmerized by the effectiveness. Even in summer it's good in brown-dominant areas. I love it to bits and was hoping to buy other stuff in it right before the war happened. I'm a camo-freak and I can clearly see the Varan being a very, very thought-through pattern - none of that "needs to look good" uniform designer crap, it was made to blend in and disrupt, and that it does splendidly. Like Pencott Greenzone.

[@mikaelsundblad5381]

As a graphic designer I find it really interesting how difficult the development of these patterns seem to be. I feel like you should be able to design and test them fairly easily. But that's clearly not the case. Thanks for a fascinating video.

[@darthhodges]

If you look at the companies that make hunting camouflage they iterate quite frequently but the trend is for much more terrain specific patterns. The most popular ones literally being collages of realistic images of flora (leaves, sticks, tree bark, grass, etc.) as they appear in certain seasons. Militaries don't go for this as it would require every soldier to not only have potentially dozens of uniforms but walking too far would necessitate changing as the one you have suddenly drops in effectiveness as the terrain changes. Making uniforms that are effective in several kinds of terrain, in various lighting conditions, and under multiple night vision technologies is quite difficult.

[@mikaelsundblad5381]

​@@darthhodges Yes that's very interesting, I guess it's not possible to get past a certain level of effectiveness unless you are willing to be environment specific. And the testing, I suppose, is always going to be arbitrary to a degree, since you can't really predict the exact conditions that the pattern will be used in. But fashion does seem to play a rather large role as well at least when it comes to the shapes and stylistic conventions like the digital patterns or the undulating shapes of older styles. In Sweden for instance we have a pattern that is essentially made up of a lot of angular shapes. And I can't really think of any reason other than artistic for that particular choice.

[@darthhodges]

@@mikaelsundblad5381 Your final point is all too often true. The US Army's UCP, US Navy NWU, and the US Air Force Digital Tiger Stripe patterns all were very expensive to develop but all were ineffective as camouflage. Critics specifically called them, as a group, a multi-million dollar government fashion contest. Uniform History has videos on all of them.

[@rrossouw100]

@Mikael Sundblad - Designing a pattern isn't really all that hard, once you've created the math processes to do it. The process creates a suitable noise structure and convolves it with a symmetry axis disrupting structure, the resulting pattern would match environmental textures and disrupt the soldiers shape. Then you can apply some styling at the micro scale to affect how the pattern looks up close, but doesn't affect it's actual use. Getting a pattern with a high CDI (Chicks Dig It) factor is a much harder affair and has so far eluded me. Coloration and pattern exist seperately and are decided on based on an environmental audit. Lab level testing is fairly easy, but complex to setup and get useful outcomes. Field testing is a whole other ball game, very few get it right, usually due to not using consistent targets.

KLMK isn't exactly a pattern, it's what a specific jumpsuit is called, though it doesn't seem to be an official designation. The pattern itself is often called berezka, and was also used by Soviet border guards in green and yellow.

[@PowermadNavigator]

In a lot of cases, you could say that greed, corruption and politics went in the way of progress, but for Ukraine, it has often been even more than that. Those people have it tough on many accounts and very tough on yet even many more. I was quite surprised to see a local suspicious guy selling these patterns of uniforms and gear in 2018. Or was it 2017... so I got some stuff after I looked at all the labels and very much touched everything. This pissed the guy off. Years later I would be banned from his shop by him (haha, banned) after I knocked him to the ground after he assaulted a pensioner who said that the soft, insulated vests with this pattern were too expensive. At about 15 euros, I didn't quite feel that way, but pensioners around here often live with between 180 and 280 euros. Still no reason for that guy to try and push the pensioner outta his shop and down a flight of stairs, though. But before I got banned from his shop I had bought a bunch for... not so cheap and I was impressed with the uniforms. The camo worked in the fields and in the light forests and some pockets were quite practical. I used it only for airsofting and the heavier use of zippers on the uniform did not bother me and caused me no issues. I liked it. But after all of this, the pattern is still smuggled out which leads me to think that there were other problems now which could have been avoided, leaving Ukraine in a better position for days like these. I am surprised that the digital flecktarn failed, it seems really cool! I'd love to try it out.

S-Steppe-frog what are you d-doing?!

[@DriveByShouting]

A-TACS AU is my year round camo. Works extremely well in winter, and in Summer. Most Woodland environments have tree trunks at the Ground to 6,8, 12ft+ Mark. As a soldier, you'll be standing or prone while engaged. A-TACS AU also has another interesting trait. It can 'Absorb' colors around it. So a AU uniform in Woodland takes on Green shades due to Light refraction/reflection/absorption. It's hard to explain without seeing it. A-TACS AU is outstanding. One downside of Multicam/MTP/Scorpion is that it's EVERYWHERE. China, Russia, South America, Mexico, Chechnya, and more. The U.S. Needs to issue a Pattern and lock it down, like the Canadians have with CADPAT. Being able to ID a Friend or Foe is important. Sucks if you're the guy who stumbles up with his M4 on his back on a group of 6 Russians kitted out in Multicam.

[@notjohnnyrico]

Problem is.. everytime US introduce new camo.. other countries quickly copied it. Since M81 Woodland, then UCP/ACUPAT (yes at one point Azerbaijan and Serbia copied it), then Multicam (W2 Scorpion is not included here because of its similarity with Multicam). Not only Russia copied Multicam, even PLA of P.R.China also interested in it copied Multicam as standard issue during 2015 parade but it was quickly cancelled, they introduced new camo now Type 19 "Starry Sky" pattern.. but the Multicam camo still made its way to People's Armed Police (PAP) with slightly altered color. The only camo which didn't get copied by other countries is AOR.
