Almost all modern armies are supplied with uniforms intended for use directly on the battlefield - field uniforms. Most armies in the world have this uniform in camouflage coloring. This material provides an overview of the main camouflage colors currently used in various armies of the world.

It should also be noted that this material does not discuss the cut of uniforms, the quality characteristics of the fabric, and similar issues. The subject of consideration is exclusively the texture and color scheme used in camouflage.

Let me make a reservation right away that the material does not cover everything, but only the main and most common ones; also the topic of camouflages of the 1940s and earlier camouflages (of which there were quite a lot) is not disclosed; the topic of special (for example, urban, “hunting” or winter) colors is also not touched upon, since it is not possible to cover this entire volume within one material in the format of an article.

Basics of Camouflage Pattern Construction

Camouflage, or camouflage colors, serves the purpose of camouflaging the object on which it is applied. In this case, camouflage means reducing the contrast visibility of an object in the optical range in order to make it difficult to identify the object.

To achieve this goal camouflage has two functions:
1. The deforming function of camouflage is a violation of the integrity of the perception of an object.
2. The imitation function of camouflage is the implementation of the inseparability of the object from the background.

The deforming function is implemented in modern camouflages primarily by breaking the silhouette of an object into a number of contrasting color spots. Imitation is implemented through the use of a color scheme similar to that characteristic of the area where camouflage is supposed to be used, and in the optimal form - through the imitation of natural objects (leaves, grass, areas of tree bark, stones, etc.), characteristic of of this area.

Illustration of the operation of the camouflage simulation function. Hunting camouflage

The difficulty of creating effective camouflage is that when implementing the first function, it is optimal to use large color spots (they break up the silhouette better, since they do not “merge” into a single color at medium and long distances), and when implementing the second function, it is optimal to use image of static natural objects on a scale of 1:1, that is, as a rule, small leaves, grass stems, etc. This creates a contradiction that different developers solve in different ways.

For example, in “hunting” types of camouflages, the deforming function is completely sacrificed to the imitation function - usually “hunting” camouflages represent a full-scale image of those natural objects where hunting is expected. In the Russian “Gorka” (its classic version), on the contrary, the imitation function is expressed much weaker than the deforming one: the imitation function consists only of the use of appropriate colors, while the deforming one is implemented in the form of the use of large-area overlay elements.

Illustration of the action of the deforming function of camouflage. Camouflage A-Tax

A few words about the colors of camouflage schemes. There are two general requirements to the colors used in creating camouflages:

1. The color must match the dominant/frequently occurring color in the area where the camouflage is intended to be used.
2. The color should be “unpleasant” to the human eye; the gaze should not intuitively stop at an object of that color.

That is why camouflage colors usually use dull, faded light brown, moderate gray and dark green colors; at the same time, for example, the light green color, although common in nature, is poorly suited for use in camouflage due to its brightness. The most commonly used colors in camouflage are: khaki, olive, marsh, dark and light brown, gray, black.

Brief history of the issue

Before the advent of mass-produced hand-held firearms that were effective over significant distances, the task of visually concealing one’s troops was less relevant than the opposite task - good visibility of one’s troops for a military leader. Due to the extremely limited means of tactical communication (in fact, there were no other means of communication except messengers), it was vital for the commander to observe the disposition and maneuver of his own troops, which is why it seemed advisable for these troops to use bright uniforms that were visible at a considerable distance. Often these uniforms had the colors of the national flags in one combination or another, and also differed in color among different units.

The task of camouflaging individual soldiers was not highly relevant, because the main type of combat remained hand-to-hand; fire contact took place at an insignificant distance, at which the enemy soldier was visible regardless of the color of his uniform. In addition, the use of linear tactics and linear infantry formation made it absolutely pointless to use any camouflage clothing (it is difficult not to notice a dense line of 50 soldiers along the front at shotgun range, even if they were dressed in the most effective camouflage).

However, even in the era of the dominance of smooth-bore weapons and linear tactics, camouflage was still used by individual units, primarily by huntsmen. The tactics of the rangers were somewhat similar to the tactics of modern infantry units (loose formation, use of natural shelters), and their weapons (rifled guns with an effective range of up to 200-250 m) made it possible to fire outside the range of enemy line infantry fire - but in the event of an attack the enemy's linear infantry (and even more so cavalry), the rangers were doomed. In addition, the rangers were vulnerable to fire from the same rangers from the “other” side.

That is why it was among the rangers that the first developments appeared, designed to reduce the visual visibility of the shooter - one might say, the first camouflage. In all European armies, chasseurs, unlike line infantry, wore black, dark green and dark gray uniforms, and their headdresses did not have decorations or clearly visible emblems. Suvorov's instructions are widely known, instructing rangers to use plucked tree branches with leaves to enhance camouflage - a technique that works well in our time.

The situation with uniforms changed when, in the middle of the 19th century, rapid-fire rifled small arms began to enter service en masse, increasing the range of fire contact several times. It is generally accepted that the British were the first to move from the concept of a bright uniform to the concept of visual invisibility of a soldier during the Anglo-Boer War, because The bright red uniforms of the British were an excellent target for the Boer riflemen (who wore civilian clothes in dull “Protestant” shades).

It was then that the British adopted a khaki-colored uniform for supply (khaki in Hindi means “dusty-earthy”), and seriously reduced the visibility of their soldiers. However, this version hardly withstands factual criticism, because dark green uniforms without decorations appeared in the army Russian Empire as a field uniform 10 years before the British encountered the Boers.

However, most European armies changed into uniforms of “protective” shades precisely in the second half of the 19th century and precisely taking into account the English experience. Research has been conducted in several countries to determine the most suitable and versatile camouflage color. The results, however, were different: Russia, England and Japan dressed the soldiers in khaki, France and Austria-Hungary - in sky blue, and Germany - in dark gray. These countries took part in the First World War in such uniforms.

At the same time, during the First World War, the first spotted camouflage of the modern type appeared. It became the German “fragmented camouflage”, so named because of the broken lines that delimit the color spots. Initially, this camouflage was used only on helmets, and these were not fabric covers, but simply paint applied to the metal of the helmet.

Camouflage received further development during the Second World War, and this time already in modern form- like coloring a field uniform. Initially, only samples of special shapes were produced camouflaged, i.e. camouflage suits and capes; however, by 1944, regular camouflage uniforms also appeared. The largest number of camouflage options during WWII appeared in the USSR and Germany, and in the USSR they emphasized the use of special sniper raincoats and camouflage overalls, and in Germany - directly on the uniforms of military personnel (mainly camouflage uniforms in Germany were worn by units of SS field units) .

The main development of the camouflage colors of the field uniform was already in post-war years, especially from the 1970s to the present. It is modern camouflages that will become the main subject of consideration in this article.

Modern camouflages of Russia

In this material, modern Russian camouflages mean not only those samples that are in production and supplied to the Armed Forces and other law enforcement agencies of the Russian Federation, but also those that are actively used by military personnel and employees of other law enforcement agencies. Among these camouflages, technically there are camouflages created in the USSR - within the framework of this material they are classified as “Russia”. Foreign-designed camouflages, also actively used by Russian security forces, are discussed in sections dedicated to the relevant countries.

KZS / Coloring-57

Historically, the first modern camouflage can be called a color scheme that has several names, the most common of which is “KZS”. It should be noted that KZS stands for “protective mesh suit”, and is not the name of the color, but the name of the product painted in this color. It is believed that the official name of the camouflage is “1957 pattern”, but this name is used quite rarely.

Sometimes this color is unofficially called “Birch”, but such a name cannot serve as a unique name, because “Berezka” is also unofficially called another camouflage - VSR-93. Also, this coloring is sometimes called “border camouflage”, because... For a long time it was supplied exclusively to the Border Troops of the KGB of the USSR.

Color arr. 1957 (KZS), “Silver Leaf” variant

This coloring exists in two variants while maintaining the same textural scheme: in one of the variants, the small spots have a gray-silver color, in the other (it was the one that was supplied to the border troops) - sand or khaki. The background color of both variants is olive; sometimes there are swamp-colored specimens. In any case, the background in this color scheme is always darker than the spots. The spots themselves have an “angular” structure, consisting of many squares.

It should be noted that this color scheme, although considered “morally outdated” by some experts, performs both functions quite well - deforming and imitation.

"Butane"

This camouflage was developed in the USSR in the 1980s as the main pattern for field uniforms. Despite the production of a significant number of products from it, it was not particularly widespread among the troops, although it was quite effective. Currently found in the Russian Aerospace Forces and the Armed Forces of Ukraine (in Ukraine for a long time it was the main camouflage), but in both cases it is being actively removed from supply, being replaced by other models.

Camouflage "Bhutan"

Other names for this camouflage are “Oak” and “Amoeba”, and “Amoeba” is also the name of one of the camouflages from the Second World War. The colors themselves can vary, only the scheme remains unchanged: a light green background, dark green spots and light brown amoeba-shaped intersecting ribbons.

In the 1990s, in many parts of the RF Armed Forces there was a situation where officers wore “Butan”, and privates and non-commissioned officers wore VSR-93, so in the 1990s this camouflage was sometimes called “officer.”

VSR-93

Developed in the early 1990s, accepted for supply in 1993, replacing the ubiquitous khaki Afghan. When creating this camouflage, the experience of WWII camouflages, in particular, a number of German camouflages, was taken into account.

VSR-93

Quite often unofficially called “Berezka”, just like KZS. It was believed that the semi-official name of the VSR-93 was “Barvikha”, but this name does not appear in official documents. Also sometimes called "Watermelon" (or "Vertical Watermelon"), however "Watermelon" also applies to the VSR-98.

According to reviews of those wearing a uniform of this color, it is “very good to lie in,” because longitudinal spots very effectively imitate grass vegetation. However, camouflage, according to experts, is too highly specialized and is not universal and applicable to any terrain. In addition, there is information that this type of color “created an unsightly appearance for military personnel at parades,” so in 1998, products of this color were removed from supply.

VSR-98 "Flora"

Accepted for supply to the RF Armed Forces as the main one in 1998, it replaced the VSR-93. When developing this camouflage, the results of a study of the dynamic efficiency of camouflage were taken into account, that is, the ability of camouflage not to lose its functions when an object moves. According to the study, horizontal stripes help maintain camouflage functions when an object moves, while vertical stripes, on the contrary, unmask when moving.

Unlike previous camouflages, VSR-98 has not only a digital code, but also an official name - “Flora”, however, unofficially, like VSR-93, it was called “Watermelon” or “Horizontal Watermelon” in the army.

VSR-98 "Flora"

There is a Flora color scheme in which the background is not light green, but dark yellow, sand or khaki. Such color schemes were popular among the troops of the North Caucasian Federal District, where the grass fades already in June and, accordingly, remains yellowish throughout the summer. Officially, "Flora" was withdrawn from supply in 2009 (according to other sources, in 2011), giving way to a more modern color scheme.

EMR/ZDU/Ruspat/Russian figure/Russian pixel

This camouflage appeared in 2008 (accepted for supply a year later), after a fundamental decision was made to change the “Flora”. Initially, it was assumed that since “Flora” roughly corresponds to the American “Woodland”, which in the US Armed Forces is actively changing to “digital” camouflages (see below), then the Russian Armed Forces should keep up with this process.

The creation of the EMR was actively influenced by the German camouflage “Flektarn”, the developers of which managed to “combine the incompatible”: small spots that perform an imitation function are combined in this color scheme so that they form groups of large spots that perform a deforming function. The developers of EMP followed the same path, taking into account the results of studies that showed the effectiveness of extremely small (“pixel”) spots as constituent elements of a texture pattern (see derivatives from “Marpat”). The result was "EMP".

EMP in two colors

The name “EMP” stands for “Unified Camouflage Pattern” - this is the name under which this camouflage is supplied to the RF Armed Forces. However, it is known that the first manufacturer of products with this color gave it the name “ZDU” - “protection to the limit.” In the West, this camouflage is known as “Ruspat” (Russian Pattern) by analogy with the American camouflage. Also unofficially, this camouflage is called “Russian Number”, “Russian Pixel” or (in military usage) simply “Pixel”.

Currently, EMR is the main camouflage used by the Russian Armed Forces. Interestingly, it is also supplied to the Belarusian Armed Forces, but it is believed that the Belarusian version of the EMR has a slightly different color scheme.

"Undergrowth"

Created in the early 1990s at the St. Petersburg NPO Spetsmaterialy as an alternative to the VSR-93 for adoption by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. When creating it, the same principles were followed as in VSR-93, however, the vertical stripes were made more angular, the brown color was replaced by black, and the base was made lighter than in VSR-93. When creating “Undergrowth”, it was taken into account that vertical stripes visually increase the height of a person in such camouflage, which is relevant for the Ministry of Internal Affairs, because an employee in such a uniform has an additional psychological impact on detainees.

"Undergrowth"

Officially it was supplied to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and was actively used by various units of the Special Forces.

"Raster undergrowth"/"Raster"

It was created at the same NPO “Special Materials”. It represents the first “dual-frequency” camouflage pattern in the practice of creating camouflage colors. The fact is that the original “Undergrowth” had a good imitation, but rather weak deforming effect, and therefore, when creating its improved version (“Rastra”), a twisted brown mesh network was applied in a special way to the original “Undergrowth” - it turned out to be a “double camouflage" or "camouflage on camouflage".

"Raster undergrowth"

As a result, the original drawing of the “Undergrowth” is perceived by the eye as if at one frequency, and the superimposed “raster” network - at another, which contributes to the impossibility of intuitive perception of a person in such camouflage as an integral object. There is even a common rumor that if you just walk down the street in “Rastra”, you will not attract anyone’s attention - the gaze of passers-by will simply slide past. This discovery of Special Materials specialists was subsequently used by the Americans to create a series of Cryptek camouflages, but more on that below.

Another name for “Rastra” is “Pheasant”, but it is used for products produced in this color not directly by NPO Spetsmaterialy, but by other manufacturers. Raster camouflage is also officially supplied to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. For some unknown reason, however, it was not widely used.

"Tiger" / "Reed"

Strictly speaking, this camouflage, although produced in the Russian Federation on an industrial scale by various companies and, moreover, is widely used in various law enforcement agencies, is not a Russian development - it is rather an “adaptation” of an existing foreign camouflage (originally the Malaysian commercial Tiger Stripe) to Russian conditions.

Camouflage "Tiger" of one of the Russian variants

The color scheme, traditionally for Russian camouflages, can be changed by turning the light green base into sand or khaki.

If the “Tiger” was the result of a deliberate alteration of an existing foreign analogue, then the “Kamysh” appeared due to an accident when the manufacturer mistakenly sewed the uniform so that the stripes of the “Tiger” turned out to be vertical. However, the classic “Tiger” is often called “Kamysh”.

Officially it was never in supply, unofficially it is used by all law enforcement agencies, although now its popularity is falling due to the advent of more effective colors.

"Partisan"

Commercial camouflage, not officially available anywhere. Unofficially, it is very popular, especially in the North Caucasus Federal District, where its yellow-brown deforming stripes are very relevant against the background of the scorched most of warm season herbs. Created under the influence of German camouflages from WWII (almost exactly copies one of them), that is why it is called “Partisan” - because, as far as we know, initially its creators, without particularly “bothering” with coming up with a name, planned to call it “SS camouflage” "

Camouflage "Partisan"

In the European part of Russia, this camouflage is very effective in August-September. The rest of the time it has an excellent deforming, but controversial imitation function.

"Kink" / "Chip"

Another commercial camouflage, unofficially not in supply, but very actively used in various law enforcement agencies. It is known that a number of units (not units, but units) of the Special Forces, both army and explosives, prefer the uniform of this particular color.

Camouflage "Kink"

When creating “Kink,” the experience of “Flektarn” was used, as in the case of EMR. Interestingly, “Kink” has such a specific location and color combination of spots that it creates the illusion of three-dimensionality of smooth fabric, and, accordingly, has a very good deformation effect. Unlike most Russian camouflages, Izlom does not allow the use of colors other than the original ones.

As with Partizan, it is believed that this camouflage is effective mainly in August and September.

Surpat

Developed by the Russian company “Survival Corps” by order of employees of special forces units. It is an adaptation of the American “pattern” scheme to Russian conditions.

Surpat

Unlike the original (American “pattern” camouflages), Surpat uses light gray as a base; the location of the spots has been changed; brown and green colors are as close as possible to the color scheme characteristic of the Russian landscape. Despite this, it is distinguished by significant versatility in relation to terrain - tests carried out by Survival Corps themselves showed Surpat’s performance in almost any natural area.

There is no official information about the use of Surpat in any units of the Armed Forces or the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, but sometimes on documentary materials you can see military personnel in this camouflage.

Range

Another adaptation of “patterns” to Russian conditions. It has slightly less versatility compared to Surpat, however, in comparison with it, it has a slightly better imitation effect in forest landscape conditions.

Camouflage "Spectrum"

There is also a “Spectrum-SKFO” version, where the color scheme is adjusted towards “yellowness”. Unlike Surpat, it is widely produced by several manufacturers. It is interesting that it was “Spectrum” that was personally used by I. Strelkov and his unit.

Dusk

Initially created as a hunting, exclusively commercial camouflage. Like most hunting camouflages, it was intended for very narrow conditions: rocky surface with moss, morning and evening time of day. However, it unexpectedly turned out that this camouflage performs quite well in a much wider range of conditions than those for which it was created, which is why it has become very widespread.

Camouflage "Twilight"

It is not officially employed anywhere in the supply chain, but is unofficially used by some departments and individual employees. Russian companies also produce a wide range of Western-designed camouflages, but they will be discussed in the sections of the countries where they were created.

The next part of the material will be devoted to the consideration of camouflages of Anglo-Saxon countries.

Camouflage (from the French camouflage - “camouflage”) is a camouflage coloring used to reduce the visibility of personnel, weapons, military equipment and structures by breaking up silhouettes or objects.

Today, camouflage colors are used not only in the ranks of active military units, but also in everyday life. Tourists and hunters also wear protective clothing so as not to stand out in natural conditions.

Camouflage color in military service

Field military uniforms began to be purposefully sewn from fabrics of protective camouflage colors at the end of the 19th century. Thus, by the end of the 19th century, British colonial troops in India adopted the color “khaki,” which translated from Persian means “color of dust.” The khaki military uniform performed well on the battlefields of South Africa. Then the rest of the world’s armies, including Russian ones, began to use it. They met the First World War already in it.

Later in 1909, the American artist Abbott Thayer published the book “Color in the Animal Kingdom.” Much of what was described in it formed the basis of the theory of scientific mimicry, after which the development of camouflage principles for the military began.

During World War I, British artist and naval officer Norman Wilkinson developed a special camouflage scheme for the navy, the so-called “blinding camouflage” (or “deforming camouflage”). Such a gray color did not hide the ships, but made it difficult to calculate the distances to them, as well as courses and speeds.

In 1939, French artist Vladimir Baranov-Rossinet patented a spotted military uniform called "pointillist-dynamic camouflage" or "chameleon method".

It should be borne in mind that most of the concepts of army camouflages were developed for the specific terrain in which the military was located. At the same time, the regulatory requirements for camouflage in open areas were taken into account. The studies were carried out during daylight hours. As a result, many armies of the world decided to use camouflage patterns in the production of military equipment to save personnel during combat clashes.

Modern pixel camouflage

Since 1984, they began to use camouflage called “digital”. This camouflage coloring is similar to the pixels of monitor screens. Such patterns prevent the eyes from fixating on objects, causing them to be perceived as “white noise”, and by analogy with blinding camouflage, this interferes with the determination of shapes and speed of movement.

Previously, countries had different approaches to camouflage uniforms; today there is a general tendency for armies to have one universal pattern. Refinement is carried out only taking into account different types of terrain. Yes, there are in different colors ACUPAT camouflages (such as “desert”, “urban” and “forest”, or the basic “urban” - urban gray version), Flektarn, DPM and others.

Sometimes individual army units may have their own pattern, but even in such cases the same trends are noticeable. For example, the MARPAT used by the American Marines, although different from the uniform ACUPAT patterns used by other units, also has several color schemes. They are used to suit the terrain and are the basic "woodland" field camouflage - a forest pattern with green and brown tones.

Digital Russian camouflage is currently considered to be “digital flora”. In Western qualifications, this camouflage is called Russian Pattern, and in the army environment it is known as “Pixel”. This camouflage was developed in 2008, and was accepted for supply to the Armed Forces and the Ministry of Internal Affairs a year later, after the fundamental decision was made to replace “Flora”.

Over the years of history from the Soviet Union to modern Russia The following types of camouflage were developed for the army:

• "Amoeba". Camouflage pattern 1935. Manufactured in several versions;
• "Deciduous Forest" model 1942;
• "Palm". Deforming pattern from 1944. Produced in four versions according to the seasons;
• "Silver leaf" model 1957. It was also called “Birch” or “sunny bunnies”, as well as the camouflage of border guards;
• “Butane”, which has another name “Oak”. Was developed in 1984;
• Russian camouflage pattern of 1993 - VSR-93, also called “vertical”;
• Russian camouflage pattern of 1998 - VSR-98 Flora. This has been the main Russian combined arms camouflage pattern since 1998. Despite its low attractiveness, this type of camouflage did a very good job of camouflaging military personnel in the areas of the Russian central zone. Possessing some characteristic stripes, “Flora” received the nickname “watermelon” camouflage. It was produced in three versions;
• Digital Russian camouflage. “Digital Flora” is currently the new pixel camouflage in the Russian Armed Forces.

In addition, there are commercial types of camouflage, such as:

• "Tiger". Green-brown horizontal stains;
• "Reeds". Sandy-brown color imitating reeds;
• "Partisan". Green form with yellow spots;
• "Kink." Three-color deciduous forest imitation;
• "Skol." Dark version of green camouflage;
• "Surpat". Pixel camouflage for different terrains;
• "Range". Dominant color green;
• "Dusk". Suit with gray splashes, suitable for urban environments.

Most of these types of camouflages are not officially supplied anywhere. However, they have found unofficial use in certain departments and among individual employees. Specialized Russian companies continue to produce a wide range of camouflage workwear developed by Western companies. In addition, modern Russian military science and industry do not stand still, all the time improving the protective functions of the suits currently available, as well as developing more and more new types of camouflages that would fully meet the new realities.

Use of camouflage by paramilitary organizations

A wide variety of legal and illegal paramilitary groups from different countries use camouflages in uniforms and other types of clothing, equipment, and for painting vehicles. In our country there are also many such paramilitary or police organizations and formations. For example, camouflage is widely used by intelligence services, special forces, the well-known riot police, federal law enforcement agencies, as well as private security agencies.

Camouflage suits in everyday life

In the 1960s, camouflage became widespread in American civilian clothing as a civil protest against the war. Young people in military uniform on the city streets tried to make the townspeople feel what it was like when there were street battles and soldiers walking on your streets. This trend quickly passed, but was resurrected in the 1980s and gained unprecedented popularity already in the 1990s during Operation Desert Storm.

The fashion industry began producing pseudo-war paint, but using softer materials. Many famous fashion designers of that time approached the camouflage cut in different ways. They began to transfer elements of military uniforms even to women's skirts and dresses. Camouflage has become an integral part of sportswear.

The fashion industry began to produce:

• Women's camouflage;
• Urban camouflage;
• Green camouflage;
• Fashionable camouflage pants;
• Camouflage pants and jeans;
• And even camouflage workwear.

It is clear that winter camouflage and summer camouflage began to enjoy considerable popularity among people leading an active lifestyle. Hunters, fishermen, black diggers, as well as many tourists began to stock up on comfortable clothing in special colors. Colors that imitate wild African fauna, such as leopard or zebra, have become fashionable.

Humanity has always been interested in issues of camouflage. Increased attention to this topic was caused by the ability to blend into the terrain with the help of branches and grass tied to the body guaranteed a successful hunt, as a result - a person could feed himself. Over time, the art of camouflage became very popular in military affairs. The ability to dissolve and not stand out now saved the life of the soldier.

Army camouflages. Start

The history of the development of camouflage patterns goes back only a few decades. This was quite enough that after a short period of time, thanks to the intensive activity of military developers, a huge variety of camouflage suits appeared that could hide a person on any terrain.

The very first camouflage colors appeared in the nineteenth century. British soldiers during the Boer War wore bright red uniforms. For the Boers, who already had experience in camouflage, they were too noticeable on the ground. As a result, England suffered heavy personnel losses. Therefore, the country's leadership replaced the red uniforms with special swamp-colored clothing - “khaki”.

The second state whose army began to use camouflages was Germany. The camouflage colors of German personnel numbered thirty options. Preference was given to the very first, “fragmentation” sample. Camouflage received this name because its pattern was chaotically scattered colored geometric shapes of various sizes. The “fragmentation” version of camouflage was first used by the German army in the First World War. Since the debut of this was successful, Wehrmacht soldiers used it in World War II. At the same time, helmets with armored vehicles began to be camouflaged.

IN Soviet time All issues related to camouflage patterns and colors were resolved by the Higher School of Military Camouflage, formed in 1919, and the State Institute of the USSR Academy of Sciences. Outstanding scientists were involved in this work - S. M. Vavilov, V. V. Sharonov and others. Thanks to fundamental scientific research, camouflage colors were developed that allowed visual dispersion. This effect of a camouflage suit was achieved by combining a unified deforming pattern, which was a set large amoeba-shaped spots with baggy camouflage clothing. Such a combination “broke” the silhouette of a person, scattering the contours of his figure. A similar effect is typical for military camouflage time. The ability to disperse the outline of a silhouette distinguished these patterns from hunting variants, for which the main goal is to “merge” the object with the surrounding area.

Soviet developers paid special attention to the correct selection of colors for the design of amoeba-shaped spots. At the same time, the seasons and characteristic features of the environment were taken into account. So, for the typical color of the area in the summer season (grass-green), spots of dark and black colors are ideal. The autumn season is characterized by a yellow or dirty-brown background. For him, Soviet technologists selected dark brown deforming spots.

Both personnel and military equipment were subject to camouflage.

In 1927, Soviet developers of camouflage clothing supplied the military with domestically produced camouflage. This is a white winter suit and a brown summer hoodie.

Post-war developments of army camouflages

After the end of World War II, development accelerated. Military developers of camouflage patterns, having considerable experience, realized that camouflage colors for the army need to be selected taking into account the terrain, since they cannot be universal and suitable for any environment. Camouflage is much more effective in cases where it is selected both for the specific type of terrain in which hostilities are taking place, and for the season.

What camouflage colors are there? The photos presented in the article will help you navigate this issue. There are really a lot of options, as you can see.

The Karbyshev Central Research and Testing Institute has developed the best military camouflages in the world. The colors of these camouflage suits, despite their not very attractive appearance, are ideal for our geographical latitude.

Camouflages during the Cold War

Developers from different countries approach the choice of camouflage patterns in their own way. This is due to different types of terrain. Military technologists developing camouflage suits for the army of a particular country take into account the fact that each branch of the military needs its own camouflage. Over time, it can be modified and improved. The years of the Cold War are considered to be one of the most fruitful periods in the history of the development of the art of camouflage. At this time, camouflage attracted especially close attention from developers.

Types and colors of countries of the world

• Europe and America. During the Cold War, “forest” camouflage was created here. It is ideal for working in forested and deciduous terrain.
• Central Asia and North Africa. The army of these states uses the “desert” type of camouflage suit.

• Southeast Asia. The military uses jungle camouflage. It is ideal for tropical latitudes.
• South Africa. The country's army has very few options for camouflage suits. This is due to the uniformity of the terrain, in which the bush camouflage hoodie is very effective.

Russian camouflage colors

KZM-P was until recently the most common camouflage pattern in Russia. The color “birch” is its second name, better known than the official one. The pattern has several other names: “golden” and “silver leaf”, “sunny bunny”, “border guard”. The principle of the pattern is to diffuse the outline of a person by simulating the play of light in the drawing. Originally developed back in Soviet times, it was widely used by KGB special forces, paratroopers and border guards.

This was a classic Russian version of camouflage, as it was ideal for the latitudes of the USSR. But over time, after discoveries in the field of camouflage art, colors Russian camouflage has undergone changes and is no longer found in its original version. Its “clones” that have appeared are commercial versions and have their own circle of admirers among hunters, fishermen and airsoft fans.

NATO version

One of the most common camouflages used by European armies is Woodland (American made). Since 1980, when this camouflage was released, and to this day in Europe and the USA it is considered the best. Its popularity led to the emergence of “clones” and their spread throughout the world. Woodland is a pattern in the form of blurry spots of two colors: brown and black. They are located on a light and dark green background. The disadvantage of this camouflage appears after it gets wet. When wet it turns black and becomes noticeable. Lately, the original classic Woodland camo pattern has become obsolete. This became the reason for its improvement. This is how its variations appeared:

The principle of selecting a camouflage pattern

The main criterion when designing the color scheme and its saturation is human vision. In the process of creating colors, the brain’s ability to highlight the contours of objects and recognize them is taken into account. The identification process takes place. The smallest ideas about contours are enough for a person’s brain to receive information about the object he saw. With the help of displaced corners of the pattern and their corresponding colors, perception and identification are distorted - this is the main task performed by a camouflage suit. This principle is applicable for the manufacture of all types of camouflage clothing - military and hunting. At the same time, camouflage designers design specific patterns for each camouflage, their shapes, sizes and the degree of contrast of nearby elements of the pattern. They can be large or small. Spots or stripes are applied at an angle of 30 or 60 degrees relative to the visual contours of the object.

Commercial camouflage option

Camouflage clothing is applicable not only in military affairs. When hunting or fishing, properly selected camouflage is also indispensable. Camouflage color variations, which are not used for sewing army camouflage suits, have found their way into the manufacture of commercial camouflage products. The suits, which for some reason were not put into service with the country's army, are actively used by private paramilitary structures - security companies, hunters and fans of tactical games. Camouflages for this category of consumers are produced by private companies in separate factories. Their products are suits, the colors of which are very similar to the army versions. But they have one difference - there may be fewer colors in such products or, conversely, more (several additional ones have been added).

Moss camouflage color

Hunting is carried out in forest and field conditions. If hunting is planned in the forest, then the choice of camouflage suit depends on what kind of forest it is - deciduous or coniferous. The solution to the problem is to purchase “moss” camouflage. His design contains green and perfectly copies this plant. This suit has two options:

• Summer. Used in the warm season. The lightweight natural fabric of the suit is well ventilated.
• Winter. Designed to be worn during cold periods. Unlike the summer example, the shades on this camouflage are much darker. This is achieved through additional gray. The brown color available in the summer version is much darker here. The suit is made on the principle of two-layer clothing and is considered good protection from moisture and strong wind. IN winter set includes a hood that is secured with a zipper. This makes it possible to quickly remove it if necessary. Velcro on the hood allows you to tightly cover your neck and head. The pockets are also equipped with special Velcro closures to prevent contents from being lost during vigorous movements. There are drawstrings at the bottom of the legs. This makes it easy to tuck trousers into berets and protects from dust. “Moss” camouflage is used by fishermen, hunters and tourists.

Pixel art

The armies of many countries use digital camouflage. These camouflage suits got their name due to the presence of individual pixels that appear during digital computer processing. The work on the digital version was based on the ability of the human eye to perceive surrounding objects as a continuous whole. Since there are no interrupted lines in nature, one small fragment is enough for the human brain, from which it subsequently builds the entire image. Pixel patterns, having unnatural and unusual outlines, are used to reduce the brain’s ability to “complete” the missing fragments.

Pixel camouflage was invented to interrupt lines and contours. The names of the colors of the “digital” camouflage suits are as follows:

• ACUPAT. Used for combat operations in urban environments or rocky deserts.
• CADPAT. Good for forest belt.
• “Digital flora”. Used in forest areas. It is especially effective if a person moves quickly. In this case, the eye is not able to focus on the object.

Camouflage for armored vehicles and aircraft

In addition to protecting personnel, armored vehicles, military or strategically important buildings for the army, and aviation are also camouflaged. The procedure for camouflage by applying a camouflage pattern is not labor-intensive. A few hours will be enough for this. The main thing is to follow the instructions: you need to maintain the inherent ratio of spots (their sizes and shades) inherent in each pattern. A pattern is only considered camouflage if it contains at least five stripes or spots. Moreover, they must be at least two colors.

The Russian Army practices aircraft camouflage. For this purpose, two-color pixel patterns are used. Unlike Russian aviation, the American Air Force does not carry out this practice. US aircraft are predominantly painted neutral gray. This, according to US military analysts, helps aircraft blend in, especially at long distances, while camouflage patterns against the sky are more likely to attract attention.

Digital patterns are used in the coloring of strategically important military installations by both the American and Russian Armed Forces.

The art of camouflage is especially important nowadays. At the current level of weapons development, the absence of camouflage or its defect can lead to serious losses of personnel.

The use of protective coloring by mankind began quite recently. At first, camouflage colors were used only for military purposes. How many lives were saved by changing the color of the soldier's uniform to the khaki color known today. Now khaki fabric has entered everyday life and is considered the most practical material.

What is protective color

This common name colors that blend with the landscape, nature, and surrounding objects. Objects painted in a protective color remain unnoticed in certain environments.

In some cases, security color refers to the bright color of the entire object or its individual parts, which conveys certain information to the security observer.

Types of protective fabric

Today there are many types of camouflage fabric. The main differences between them are the protective color background and the type of pattern. Thus, the camouflage fabric can be plain or painted in several colors. In the first case, the color is called "khaki". It can be of different shades: from “dirty” yellow to gray-green. If the fabric has a specific pattern of marsh flowers, this protective fabric is called camouflage.

Khaki

The khaki color is often referred to by another well-known word - khaki. This name is translated from Hindi as "dusty". Khaki denotes colors in dusty earthy shades, ranging from dirty yellow to greenish brown.

Camouflage color

Camouflage is a multi-colored small or large spotted pattern that is used to protect the military, their equipment and weapons from visual recognition by the enemy. As a rule, camouflage has only 2-4 colors. Such multicolor significantly distorts the contours of the object, since the color and shape of the design merges with the surrounding background.

The camouflage pattern is a pattern of spots and stripes of different shapes, applied in a certain order. At the same time, military clothing in khaki color is sewn in such a way that the transition of the pattern from one surface to another is preserved.

It should be noted that each army has its own type of camouflage. Thus, by the shape and color of the picture, you can determine where the soldier is serving.

How did the protective color of the fabric come about?

The creator of clothing made from swamp-colored fabric is considered to be the Indian tailor Khaki, after whom the camouflage colors were named. He was the first to sew uniforms for English soldiers from material the color of swamp mud.

According to historical documents, the khaki uniform was custom-made by the English Major Hudson, who was fond of drawing before the army. In 1848 he commanded a battalion of scouts in India. At that time, soldiers wore red uniforms. Naturally, uniforms of this color were an excellent target for bandits and enemies. Even from a great distance it was easy to see the soldiers in red uniforms.

A major with creative abilities solved this problem with a non-standard solution - he dressed the soldiers in nondescript costumes, completely invisible against the background of nature. Since the tailor who made this uniform was named Khaki, they decided to name it after him.

Such changes in the battalion benefited Major Hudson, and he quickly rose to the rank of general.

But, unfortunately, the authorities did not support the idea of ​​​​dressing up the army, and Hudson was dismissed for violating traditions.

Global distribution of khaki color

After Hudson's resignation, the military forgot about the khaki color for some time. And only half a century later, the British again decided to sew khaki uniforms, when the Anglo-Boer War began. The British army took such a step after huge losses of soldiers from sniper fire from enemy shooters.

Then the Russian army began to use the protective color. After analyzing the results of the Russo-Japanese War, the Russian command was forced to change the uniform of the soldiers from white to swamp.

During the First World War, khaki material was used by the armies of almost all countries of the world. Only the French refused to outfit the soldiers in khaki uniforms, as a result of which they suffered heavy losses. In 1918, the military leaders of France, after much deliberation, finally decided to change their light blue uniforms and multi-colored hats to a marsh-colored field uniform.

From that moment on, the color khaki was associated only with the army.

Applying masking colors

Khaki color of different shades is widely used in the military sphere. Thus, it is customary to paint all military equipment and equipment with a protective color. Tents, backpacks, and various fabric household items that soldiers use in the field are also made from swamp-colored material.

In fact, khaki color is used to paint all objects and objects that are used by the military. This coloring allows soldiers to be unnoticed in different areas and easily move in the right directions. The khaki color background practically blends with nature. And in such conditions, it is very difficult even for a professional to recognize a military man.

According to studies conducted in many countries around the world even before World War II, the protective “dirty” color makes it extremely difficult to visually distinguish an object in almost any terrain. Only on the untouched snow cover are the soldiers more noticeable. In this case, additional camouflage and a change of clothing to lighter colors are required.

In the modern world, protective paints are used not only in the military industry. Khaki color has found its place in many areas where camouflage from human and animal eyes is needed. Thus, swamp-colored clothing is very popular among researchers, archaeologists and tourists. Such nondescript attire does not attract unnecessary attention from others and makes it easy to hide to observe nature.

Fashion for protective paint

For half a century, khaki suits were worn exclusively by military personnel. And only in the early 60s, artist Andrew Warhol wore “dirty” colored clothes to an official reception, which shocked the public. After this, khaki suits began to gain mass popularity among ordinary citizens.

Fashion designers have even created a clothing style with “dirty” colors and a loose cut, known to fashionistas as “safari”. He gained great popularity not only among men. Recently, military-style clothing has become increasingly worn by women.

The most interesting thing is that this style has remained relevant for many years. Even this year, famous designers have developed entire collections of khaki outfits.

To keep up with fashion, men and women buy trousers and shirts in camouflage colors and sew exclusive clothes in camouflage colors to order.

In the fashion industry, khaki fabric is mainly used for suits, trousers and jackets. Very often the material is used to create travel equipment.

Khaki - the color of the 21st century

In fact, since the 90s of the last century, khaki fabric has been used by all global clothing manufacturers. Since then, camouflage coloring began to be positioned as the color of freedom and strength. Many countries have begun to create new khaki fabrics that are highly durable and practical.

Today, almost everything is painted in a protective color: bags, wallets, shoes and even mobile phones. Thus, camouflage colors gradually moved from the armed forces to civilian life. According to stylists, khaki color is considered the most popular among men and women.
