Russian WWII Amoeba Camouflage Effectiveness

[@proudtobeautistic]

Russian Amoeba blew me away is was extremely effective. I didn't expect it to blend so well in this type of environment I guess you can't judge a pattern by it's colors. It also goes to show that just because a pattern is old doesn't mean it's obsolete.

[@Ingen.17]

[@Ingen.17]

@Eric Hamilton Does this mean there wasn't 15 other countries in it? Hell, the invasion literally started with the Baltics, don't remember Russia being a Baltic state last time I checked.

[@Ingen.17]

@Eric Hamilton I got that much, but tell me, do you not acknowledge the 14 other countries? This is like calling the Roman Empire Italy.

[@josefpohl5489]

I believe the colour, the dye makes job here, beacuse the pattern is really poor.

[@andreykot8504]

this thing is more effective than UCP and is 60 years older

[@realtissaye]

lmao

[@franklinvonfrankenstein1137]

Wow! I love Russian Amoeba Camo but did not expect it to be ANYWHERE near as effective as it was.

[@itsnodawayitustabe5654]

Very Effective even if its 70 years old. Probably even more effective in the forests of eastern europe

[@capncrunch6025]

It began to be developed in 1927, then was shown on tests in 1936, and adopted in 1938

Now I see why the Germans called the Russian scouts "Ghosts"

[@rainmechanic]

What makes it so effective is the loose fit and that hood.. IMO the built in hood really break's up the human outline and does a good job of confusing the eye. This could be in a single flat earth tone and be just as effective, if not more so.. Its a good demonstration of why breaking up the human form is more important than "Color Matching"..

[@talleman1]

also you can wear the hood over a helmet. It is quite a easy, cheap and effective camo.

[@Quinnlawl]

surprisingly effective. in areas where consistent rainfall should be expected matching greens seems to work well. Here in Texas, I would recommend using a tan or brown primary camo because the natural green colors are never consistent. our weather is too damn wacky to expect a 'normal' green color. i also enjoy the 'russian hoods' as I call them.

Excellent camo! The hood and loose fit really helped disguise your silhouette. Looked fairly comfortable too. Great video!

[@lukewardle3515]

Incredibly effective pattern for your environment.

Impressive how effectively that old pattern works.

[@enriquetachias920]

camouflage is a art to master and the Russians got this one right on the money

[@alfredkonig4639]

VERY effective, whow. The reason might be that the shade of green matches perfect to most of these plants and trees in spring and summer. Well done. Whow!

[@stuarthunter2923]

ok now that puts the majority of camouflage uniforms to shame. extremely effective. good work mate keep it up.

[@harrisonking8156]

The hood works wonders on this smock. It completely breaks up your head. The colours were a bit light for where you were but obviously were not designed for this particular location. A very effective camouflage and a good find! Keep up the good work :)

[@Brent0331]

Mr. SirKing Thanks brother.

[@kurtnorrell]

So glad I found your channel, really impressive videos, I have a 5 year old grandson son and he loves playing find the soldier.....

[@anthonyfreemont8175]

It's amazing how effective a two color pattern can be, even when you were mobile you were difficult to spot. Another example of an effective two color pattern is Rhodesian "babyshit" camo. Awhile back I painted my fn fal in the pattern and if you lay it in the bushes, grass or any foliage for that matter it disappears when you get within ten feet of it.

[@KrisSays]

Deadly impressed with it, especially at 2:50. Didn't see that one coming!

[@swojal1493]

On camera that camo is SCARY effective, just like the ww2 german video you did. In real life the eye and effectiveness will be different, but still that is insanely effective camo

[@benrose7788]

[@Brent0331]

jarno winkel Its a repro, the originals are very expensive.

[@brainplay8060]

In the shadows the light color really seems to blend. But the second any light hits it the bright pattern turns almost fluorescent. I picked you out several times when you have light reflecting or directly on you when hiding. But under shadow it worked exceptionally well. Those boots though. They stood out big time.

[@michaelchristensen6884]

This pattern works great in daytime woodland environments

[@theoutdoorobserver8038]

Surprisingly effective.

[@mrv2rocketman]

Quick advice for scout Blouse the camo over the boots Wear your fieldgear under the smock And camo was issued to Scouts, Snipers, Paratrooper, SHISBR (Assault Engineers which is my impression with the body armor aka early spetsnaz) Also try the later used Leaf Camo tgat came out in mid/late 1944

[@ersikillian]

Damn! That really is effective!

[@facundocorradini]

that worked far better than I expected.

Would like to see you moving across the camera's field of view rather than straight towards the camera. Perhaps more slow move/stop/slow move as well? Russian WWII leaf camo (summer) would be completely deadly in this vegetation.

[@yorkshirecoastadventures1657]

It would be great to see that smock design with other patterns because the shape of it seems to be some of the effectiveness,as also suggested by other folk. Berezka klmk silver leaf,Rhodesian brushstroke and Atacs fg(all patterns youve tested)would be good comparisons id like to see.

[@KWyzel]

The camo is good, but I've noticed that you can spot it by color. Given its very vibrant tanish color.

[@neil_castell]

[@blizte3]

Will you be testing the more modern version of this camo? I believe it's called Palma.

[@blizte3]

this pretty good in this green area

[@justsomeguy3931]

I couldn't find you for shit in this one. I think the bright green helps. Normally you look for dark patches, going bright fixes that. And they say Communism doesn't work

[@throatnotchingtroutzzz6789]

I think really effective for the simplicity. But I must say, after watching your videos and other videos, where they do more zooming in and out on longer distances, that most camouflage only works on short distances. At some point, it becomes a "mono color" or "single color" blob or spot, as all the colors in the camo blend together for the viewer. Must be something with the particular light waves reflected from the fabric mixing together, and confusing the eye / brain????? Not a physicist, energy chemist, or like that. Of cause scopes and binoculars are "artificial short distances" and that is of cause important for soldiers. I just mean. Depending on, what you need, one can consider, if a Makro pattern is the best, or a Micro pattern is the best, as Micro patterns might be best at short distances, eg. for bow hunting and so, but turns "mono-color" at shorter distances than Makro patterns. On the other hand, Makro- patterns might stand out more, at very short distances, but may uphold an actual camouflage effect for a longer distance, than a Micro pattern. Like Multicam eg. at 50 yards / 45 meters eg. not many can see all the small details in the pattern, as one can close up, without binoculars. On the other hand, something (more Makro pattern type) like a Gorka suit (with different colored reinforcement panels on it, in some places) or this Amoeba pattern might still have some sort of break up effect at this 50 yard/45 meter distance, but stand more out on eg. 10 yards/ 9 meters. Eg. Just my opinion / thoughts at least. So as said on this channel. Camouflage is specific. Some try a combination, Micro pattern and Makro pattern in one, like Pencott and Kryptek, IMHO they do. If that works, people must judge for them selves. Nice day!!! A video where they zoom in and out. Russian camouflages even (and channel): kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2XYZ6Chj8aVmK8 Another video (Ukrainian channel??), western camouflages: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eV7GZ6lspph5mZY

[@ifalife8751]

This Amoeba suit also comes with a Russian "Fugastutamuuta" (fart silencer device) for Recon patrols.

[@OneRedRoad]

Good vid! Your closet must look awesome with all of these camos hahaha. Ever thought about trying the IDF uniform and helmet cover?

[@Brent0331]

Artyom Tenno lol my closet rack actually broke because of all the weight from the heavy uniforms weighing on it. But yet it looks awesome! :) No, I don't have any plans on doing the IDF uniform. I generally try to do surplus uniforms since they're cheaper so maybe in the future.

[@OneRedRoad]

***** Hahaha! That's pretty funny. I usually get IDF stuff from here so depending on what surplus price is this is normal price: h t t p : / / w w w . z a h a l . o r g / g r o u p s / f a t i g u e s - a n d - u n i f o r m I put all spaces because sometimes people can't see the link and I think this fixes it.

[@Brent0331]

Artyom Tenno I just ordered an IDF uniform, apparently there is quite a bit of surplus of it out there. Unfortunately its coming from Israel so its going to take a bit for it ship out to me. Thanks for the idea though, I had thought about doing an effectiveness video on the IDF uniform in the past but assumed it would be too expensive. I looked into it after reading your comment and I was able to pick up a full set for about $50 bucks.

[@OneRedRoad]

***** Awesome! Where did you get it from? Also are you doing that odd helmet cover thing they use to?

[@Brent0331]

ebay, and no, the helmet cover alone is 30 dollars.

Although you did great job in hidding yourself, Amoeba was one of easier to spot camos presented on your chanel. I think it's missing light dots to make this green color works... Although, if "enemy" is on the move and unaware of soldier wearing amoeba - it can be very effective.
