Camouflage is dark green. Protective color in clothes

Unfortunately, the arms race that tried to create a camouflage pattern that would work was doomed to failure. In 2012, The Daily called it "5 billion snafu" (SNAFU is an acronym that can literally translate as: "situation under control: everything is flying to ..."). In the aforementioned race, officially called the Army's Camouflage Improvement Effort, camouflages from hundreds of designers were requested, from which four finalists were selected. Four years later (and millions of dollars), the army seems to have decided on a winner.

Four final camouflages were createdBrookwood,CryePrecision,Kryptek andADSInc. withGuyCramer

The delays did not stop there. According to the latest rumors, it was decided to cancel the entire camouflage masquerade. However, the Army simply accepted MultiCam, a digital camouflage made by Crye Precision, as a temporary option, thereby recognizing that universal camouflage did not work as intended.

It takes a long time for the tale to tell, but not soon the work is done. In December, Congress introduced a bill that would block the entire army if it did not pass new project camouflage. By 2018, the same bill would have blocked the entire Department of Defense. Politicians seem to be tired of spending money on endless problems. Press secretary William Laer, in response to questions about what is happening, could only say that "the army is weighing different options and taking into account legislative restrictions."

Among the accusations of incompetence and bureaucratic red tape, there is the fact that military technology is developing extremely rapidly, and no one can predict for sure what camouflage will be needed tomorrow. The growing field of military science, despite all the dust in our eyes, is still very young. And billions of dollars thrown into the wind do not bring the expected effect.

History of invisibility

Modern camouflages have a relatively short history. When modern warfare appeared (18th century), that is, when the long-range rifle appeared, dark green or gray camouflages came into vogue. By the beginning of World War I, full-length troops were experimenting with "blinding", that is, to make it difficult to catch the target, then the ship, at a distance. Soon, the technique was used by people with might and main.

Soldier of the First World War, 1917

At the dawn of World War II, distinctive modern kidney-spot camouflages emerged and quickly spread around the world. By the end of the war, artists were even experimenting with optical models that could trick the eye by borrowing ideas from Cubism and Op Art.

In the late 1970s, the US Army introduced a new and unpopular pattern called "double texture", which marked the beginning of today's digital camouflage. Dual-Tex used perfect colored squares to simulate two patterns at once, one large and one large, effective at different distances.

WWII soldier

By 1990, the development of patterns on the computer began, and with it the revival. scientific research... US officer Timothy O'Neill, "the grandfather of modern camouflage," designed small colored squares on camouflage that could deceive the eye looking at a soldier or a truck by merging them into the background scene.

Why do pixels work better than traditional bubbles? Because pixels are better at imitating fractal patterns, which our eyes interpret as white noise. If you look at such a "digital" camouflage, your eyes simply have nothing to fix.

Dual-tex camouflage

However, the eye is a complex anatomical object, and it is simply impossible to recreate one optical trick for millions of soldiers in an infinite number of conditions. As a result, the cottage industry of independent contractors and engineers has grown, and each has submitted their own unique camouflage pattern, including four finalists for the competition.

Find people in the photo below.

Some of these companies declined to comment when Gizmodo revealed a desire to chat with them, most likely because the announcement of the winner is still far away. However, Guy Kramer, CEO of Hyperstealth Biotechnology Corp, a camouflage designer for the armies in Jordan and Afghanistan, and one of the four finalists in the competition, was kind enough to answer some questions.

Using visual impairments

As Kramer explained, digital camouflages try to use advanced optical tricks to confuse the brain and release the body from the target, rather than simply “blending” it into the surrounding landscape. “You can't just sprinkle paint on a wall and call it camouflage,” he says. “We're not trying to create randomness. We want the brain to interpret the pattern as part of the background. ”

This kind of visual trick is challenging. It includes insights into the science of color, the anatomy of the human eye, and even the logistics of creating a pattern. And she's still not perfect. Let's take a look at the most interesting failure of the American army: the UCP.

Actually,UCP

All digital camouflages are composed of two layers: micro-patterns (pixels) and macro-patterns (forms of combining pixels). If the scale of macro patterns is too small - as happened with UCP - there will be optical phenomenon called isolation, the dyeing of a carefully constructed camouflage pattern into a mass bright color... In other words, such a suit can be seen with ease at a distance. As you can see, this has become one of the biggest challenges for UCP.

What about color? In 2004, when the US Army introduced the UCP, it was revealed that there was not a drop of black in the entire pattern. The fact is that black does not occur in nature, the official representatives explained. But Kramer totally disagrees. Black and brown are needed to simulate shadows. Kramer's final painting for the competition included a "luminance border," a thin black line along macro and micro patterns that tricks the eye into obscuring shapes.

“If you don’t have even a percentage of that in camouflage, it will look flat because there is no depth effect,” Kramer explained. "It was a good lesson."

Economy of scale

There are now more than half a million soldiers in the US Army, and printing and sewing uniforms for each of them is already a difficult task in itself. It is also important that the camouflage "breaks" the body contour of the soldier in places like the wrists, knees and ankles.

Like the tiger's stripes perpendicular to their limbs, these visual “breaks” help obscure the anatomy of the human target. When the roll camouflage fabric will be cut into millions of uniforms, it can be difficult to predict exactly where these splits will end up.

Isolumination example

In addition, our brain recognizes patterns very well - if we see the same shape twice, we immediately know that something has happened. It is imperative that the left and right sides of a single picture do not overlap. “Many patterns have this problem,” says Kramer. - "The brain will see an anomaly on the right side of the chest, and if it sees a very similar pattern on the left side of the chest, it will immediately connect the dots and say, now, now I see the upper part of the human body."

The very border of brightness

Part of Kramer's success has come from his ability to create patterns that meet all of these complex criteria. He is a pioneer in algorithmic camouflage design. Instead of relying on his own brain to design patterns, he wrote a program that generates true geometric fractals. Fractals are mathematical patterns that repeat themselves at any scale.

This is why Cramer's patterns have been used everywhere, from rifles to helicopters (not to mention 2.5 million uniforms). Because they scale, they are capable of hiding both a person and an entire building.

All kinds of tests

The art of testing these patterns is almost always more important than the design itself - a process Kramer knows well, having helped the army test patterns for ten years. Including confusing the best snipers of the army with thousands of photos.

At the United States Military Academy at West Point, subjects, including the best snipers with perfect and even better vision, watched slides after slides of disguised soldiers in different environments. A huge number of images. From deserts to swamps, any weather conditions, any distance to the target (the pattern should be equally good). Statistics showed there were 900 subjects, 45 environments, and 120,000 data points.

An important part of the testing process was not only the speed of determining the visual anomaly, but also the speed of determining where the soldier actually lay. Milliseconds to make decisions can make a difference, given that the average sniper takes 12 to 30 seconds to identify a target.

Step-arsh

At the end of August, a team of American special forces was suddenly sent from Libya. The fact is that a group of terrorists stole dozens of weapons and devices from trucks. How will this affect camouflage? Maximum.

Along with machine guns and lasers, the raiders stole a device that could ultimately cause as much damage as the first two types of devices: special night vision goggles that capture short-wave infrared light - in the SWIR spectrum. Costing $ 45,000 apiece, these goggles allow soldiers to see at 1 micron wavelength, where colors blend into a white mass. In other words, it makes camouflage completely useless. The only pair in safety was kept in the hands of the American army. No more.

“Now the bad guys are running around with the same technology,” explains Kramer.

The relevant questions arose: since the enemies have changed the channels of supply of military equipment, the US Army cannot be sure that those guys are seeing exactly what the US Army wants to see.

We've come a long way from the stone gray or field camouflage of the 19th century. We even managed to move away from the colors of the 60-70s, when with one pattern many conflicts could be resolved in ten years. Modern weapons is changing extremely quickly, and even when the Ministry of Defense takes one model for consideration, there is no guarantee that next year a new one will not appear.

However, there are many interesting concepts in development, including those with the use of metamaterials, about which we have written a lot. Here, for example, is a project from Hyperstealth called Quantum Stealth, which we may talk about more.

And there is one more project, which, unfortunately, its creators cannot discuss.

"Is a speckled or pixelated masking color used to reduce visibility under conditions environment clothing 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 using visual, photo, or optoelectronic detection methods.

Camouflage coloring, as a rule, is a multi-colored (2-4 colors) spotted pattern or pattern (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 "Khaki" colors during the Anglo-Boer War (1899-1902) - this war was fought for the independence of the Transvaal from England. The British at that time wore red uniforms, which is why they suffered heavy losses in comparison with the Boers, who knew how to use the surrounding area 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 was armed with about 30 different camouflage colors, some of which later migrated to Soviet army(example: camouflage "birch", used and modernized to this day.

Since the days of the Cold War, camouflage has been divided into five large groups:
- "Wood" - "Woodland" - is used mainly in Europe and America;

- "Desert" - "Desert" - used in North Africa and Central Asia:
- "Jungle" (tropic) - "Tropical Uniform" - used in Southeast Asia, South America;
- "Winter" - actually itself winter camouflage, which is dominated by white colors.
- "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 camouflage types began to occur at a rapid pace and at the moment there are a huge number of 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 is designed to work only in certain environmental conditions and seasons.

There are several types of colors and names of camouflage types:

Army camouflage (Army camouflage used by the military of different countries);

Commercial camouflage (Camouflage camouflage - those variations of colors that have not entered the army units into service for any reason, and at the moment are produced by certain companies (factories) exclusively for independent military units and fans of hunting or tactical games. camouflage can be attributed to variations of existing army colors, from which they were excluded, or vice versa, additional colors were 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.

ВСР-98 Flora (Armed Forces of Russia-98 Flora):

It is the main Russian combined arms camouflage since 1998 (based on the official designation). The Flora camouflage camouflages a person very well in central Russia. Because of the characteristic stripes, Flora was nicknamed "watermelon" camouflage. Available in three variations.

ВСР-93 (Armed Forces of Russia-93):

He is a "vertical". Russian camouflage pattern of 1993.

Butane (Oak):

He is "Dubok" This camouflage was developed in 1984. Such a pattern well breaks the silhouette of a person at various distances against the background of vegetation.

Silver leaf, sample 1957):

Camouflage "Silver leaf", aka "Birch" and "sunbeams", as well as "border guard camouflage". Camouflage pattern with a deforming pattern, 1957. Perfect for camouflage in deciduous forests of central Russia.

Camouflage pattern with deforming pattern 1944. It was produced in four variations: spring, summer, autumn, winter.

Russian camouflage of 1942 release. It was produced in two variations: summer, autumn.

Amoeba:

1935 camouflage. It was produced in several versions.

Commercial Russian camouflage:

Chinese Camouflage Mystery March 31st, 2016

On September 3, 2015, China celebrated the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II. The parade on this occasion looked like a truly impressive demonstration of the country's military power. Hundreds of combat vehicles and about 12,000 soldiers from the usually secretive People's Liberation Army marched through Tiananmen Square in Beijing. Many of these vehicles never appeared in public and were conspicuous by the country causing pixel disguise. But where did the Chinese get this scheme and why is it blue?

Russian liberals and nationalists saw a threat in the coloring of Chinese armored vehicles and the coloring of the uniforms of some units of the People's Liberation Army of China. They were very confused by the blue-blue camouflage, which was categorically considered "winter".

The "Ukrainian patriots" were especially happy. Like, this time, for sure, everything is to the "damned Muscovites". From day to day, Cupid will be crossed by the Chinese divisions.

This is how things really stand ...

A pattern that resembles the color of the blocks made of computer game Minecraft is a pretty stark contrast to traditional camouflage. In addition, the latter has been used by the military since the 19th century: imitating foliage and others natural features the colors have proven themselves very well.

Bold mosaic camouflage is gaining widespread use by militaries around the world, which seems to be contrary to common sense; after all, nothing in nature is so rigid in form. But it really works - which surprises even the creator of a new type of camouflage who developed the concept forty years ago.

In the late 1970s, O'Neal suggested to the US Army that square blocks colors will mask armored fighting vehicles better than full paint. His idea was to build a model that would work no matter how far the vehicle is from the observer. Large models work well at long distances, while small patterns work better at close range... But patterns made from small squares, or pixels, can be colored to mimic both.

It all goes back to the times of distant

The experiment exceeded all expectations, but it took a long time for the digital camouflage to take root. The challenge was to convince skeptical military officials. The military are still conservatives.

Only by the beginning of the 1980s were the efforts crowned with success. Guy Kramer, CEO of HyperStealth Biotechnology Corp. is one of the leading modern camouflage designers.

Digital camouflage is now used to varying degrees by military forces around the world. But the future of camouflage is likely to be even more challenging. Kramer is developing a version of digital camouflage that will actively change like a chameleon. The alpha version, which already exists in reality, is called SmartCamo. Probably, such camouflage will be very expensive and will require an independent source of energy - but it is still cheaper than human life.

When I served we had this kind of camouflage

And now everything is like this:

So why do the Chinese have blue camouflage technology?

Let's try to understand the camouflage issue in more detail.

By the way, this is also a "blue" camouflage. Apparently, Chinese missile boats and other warships are already preparing to break through the steppes and deserts of Mongolia into the operational expanses of Siberia. Well, or at least Beijing is preparing to make a cunning move and make a bypass maneuver by boats to Murmansk and Arkhangelsk through the North Pole ...

But, in fact, that very blue-blue technique, especially dangerous for us.

this is the exercise "Hanxun-2015" of the Chinese marines

In general, is the trend clear? And now - the essence. In 2007-2009, the armed forces of the PRC switched to a new uniform of model "07". The changes also affected the field uniform. And what are the official shades in it?

In particular, such:

"Marine (07 Oceanic Camouflage) - light blue, green and light khaki on a blue background. Used in limited numbers by the Navy and Marine Corps."

"Urban (07 Urban Camouflage) - dark green, light gray, gray-blue on a gray (slate) background. Used in the PLA Air Force."

And what form is used mainly in ground forces Oh?

"Universal (07 Universal Camouflage) - green, brown and black on a gray background. The model has proven itself well in urbanized landscapes and is standard for the PLA Army and Air Force, as well as for units taking part in activities overseas."

There is also desert with khaki color and forest with brown and olive shades. In general, there was no sensation.

Camouflage based on shades of blue is generally widely used in the world. And not only in China, but also here! So, in 2013, the decision to paint warships in blue-gray camouflage was made in Russia!

Initially, it should be noted that the word "camouflage" is of French origin and means "camouflage" in translation.

Any camouflage is designed to make it difficult for the enemy to recognize the outline and figure of a fighter on the ground, using visual and optical methods. Currently, camouflages are also focused on protection against various technical means of detection.

The coloring of any camouflage is a combination of several colors or shades, as well as various forms and methods of their application. Camouflage colors are usually used from two to four. The drawing itself can consist of large or small spots, using both smooth and chopped and geometric styles. All these camouflage parameters are great for distorting and blurring the silhouette of a soldier on the battlefield.

You can also sometimes find solid camouflage colors - they also camouflage well in areas with a monotonous landscape or large open spaces.

Creation of camouflage is a really tricky business. After all, it's not enough to come up with a drawing and color for a specific area, you must also take into account various factors such as the anatomy of the human eye and the science of color. Therefore, the logic of creating a camouflage pattern is rather complicated and time consuming.

The first camouflage in the world was the "khaki" color during the Boer War (1899-1902) - which was fought for the independence of the Transvaal from England. The British, who wore red uniforms, bore a correspondingly heavy rub. And the Boers, on the contrary, skillfully used the terrain for camouflage. As a result, the British were dressed in a marsh-colored uniform (khaki).

During World War II, Germany was armed with about 30 different camouflage colors, some of which later migrated to the Soviet army, for example, the "birch" camouflage, which are used and modernized to this day.

Since the days of the Cold War, camouflage has been divided into five large groups:

- "Forest" (mainly - Europe, America)

- "Desert" - ( North Africa, Middle Asia)

- "Jungle" (tropic) - ( Southeast Asia, South America)

- "Winter" - for regions with snowfall.

- "Bush" (South Africa) - very few types of camouflage, due to the limited terrain and countries.

It is also worth noting that all attempts to create unified solutions for camouflages ended in complete failure - therefore, camouflage must be used not only for a specific area, but even taking into account the time of year, weather conditions and time of day.

So, let's go directly to the types of camouflages.

Camouflages of the Russian Federation and the USSR.

1. Digital Russian camouflage (EMP)- "digital flora". Also has the name "EMP" - a uniform camouflage color. In the West, this camouflage is known as the Russian Pattern. In the army, a simple name was fixed - "Pixel".

This camouflage appeared in 2008 (accepted for supply a year later), after a fundamental decision was made to change 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 RF Armed Forces should keep up with this process. The creation of the EMP was actively influenced by the German Flektarn camouflage, 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 components of the texture pattern.

Currently, EMP is the main camouflage used by the RF Armed Forces. It is interesting that he is also on the supply in the Armed Forces of Belarus, however, it is believed that the Belarusian version of the EMP has a slightly different color scheme.

1. VCP-93- Developed in the early 1990s, accepted for supply in 1993, replaced the ubiquitous khaki Afghan woman. When creating this camouflage, the experience of WWII camouflages was taken into account, in particular, a number of German camouflages.

Quite often it is unofficially referred to as "Birch", as well as KZS. It was believed that the semi-official name of VSR-93 is "Barvikha", but this name is not found in official documents. Also sometimes referred to as "Watermelon" (or "Vertical Watermelon"), however, "Watermelon" also applies to HRV-98.

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

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

Other names for this camouflage are "Dubok" and "Amoeba", and "Amoeba" is also called one of the camouflages of 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-like intersecting ribbons.

In the 1990s, in many parts of the RF Armed Forces, there was a situation when officers wore "Bhutan", and privates and sergeants - VSR-93, therefore in the 1990s this camouflage was sometimes referred to as "officer".

1. KZS or "Coloring-57"- historically, the first modern camouflage can be called a color 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 sample color." However, this name is rarely used. Sometimes this color is unofficially referred to as "Birch", but such a name cannot serve as a unique name, since Another camouflage, VSR-93, is also unofficially called "Birch". Also, this color is sometimes referred to as "border camouflage", because for a long time it was supplied exclusively to the Border Troops of the KGB of the USSR.

This color exists in two versions while maintaining the same texture scheme: in one of the options, small spots are gray-silver, in the other (it was he who consisted of supplies in the border troops) - sand or khaki. The background color of both varieties is olive, sometimes there are specimens of marsh color. 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 by some experts to be "morally obsolete", performs both functions quite well - deforming and imitation.

1. "Tiger" or "Reed"- strictly speaking, this camouflage, although it is 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 the existing foreign camouflage (originally - the Malaysian commercial Tiger Stripe) to Russian conditions.

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

If the "Tiger" was the result of a deliberate alteration of the existing foreign analogue, then the "Kamysh" appeared due to an accident, when the manufacturer mistakenly sewed the form so that the stripes of the "Tiger" were vertically arranged. Nevertheless, the classic "Tiger" is often referred to as "Reed".

Officially, it has never been on the supply, unofficially - it is used by all law enforcement agencies, although now its popularity is falling due to the appearance of more effective colors.

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.

When creating Izlom, the experience of Flektarn was used, as in the case of EMP. It is interesting that “Kink” has such a specific location and color combination of spots that it creates the illusion of three-dimensionality of a 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 the Partizan, it is believed that this camouflage is effective mainly in August and September.

Unlike the original (American "patterned" camouflages), Surpat uses a light gray color as a base; the location of the spots has been changed; brown and green colors as close as possible to the color scheme typical for the Russian landscape. Despite this, it is distinguished by significant versatility in relation to the terrain - tests carried out by the Survival Corps itself have shown the performance of Surpat in almost any natural zone.

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

There is also a variant of "Spectrum-SKVO", where the color gamut is corrected towards "yellowness". Unlike Surpat, it is widely produced by several manufacturers. It is interesting that it was the “Spectrum” that was personally used by I. Strelkov and his unit.

Officially, it is not included anywhere in the supply, but unofficially it is used by some divisions and individual employees. Russian companies a wide range of western-designed camouflages are also produced, but they will be discussed in the sections of the countries where they were created.

Camouflages of the USA and Canada.

Before the Vietnam War, camouflage was used only by the United States Marine Corps (which is considered a separate branch of the military), and then not in droves. It was a WWII design camouflage with a texture similar to modern Australian camouflage (see below). The main part of the US Armed Forces in the Korean War and at the beginning of the Vietnam War wore an olive-colored field uniform.

During the fighting in the jungle of Vietnam, it turned out that the monophonic uniform does not provide sufficient level disguise soldiers. The first to try to solve this problem were the servicemen of special units - they bought at their own expense the Filipino-made Tiger Stripe camouflage (which the Filipinos themselves created on the basis of the French Lizard, taking into account the local specifics).

Officially, this camouflage was not supplied to the US Armed Forces, this is an exclusively commercial camouflage used by the military on an initiative basis.

However, the problem remained, and the Americans were forced to develop their own camouflage. The first truly massive American camouflage was Woodland.

At the moment, Woodland has already been removed from supply in the US Armed Forces (it remained only in the National Guard), but its widespread distribution in the 1980s contributed to the fact that at the moment it is Woodland that is considered the most used camouflage in the world.

Officially consisted of supplying in a huge number of countries, especially in Latin America. With some minor changes, it exists as the main camouflage in Spain and Syria.

For a long time, the Canadian army, like the American, wore an olive uniform, and only in the early 1990s did they think about their own camouflage. They created what is called "Kadpat" - from the words "Canada" and "Pattern" (in this case, "color").

The imitation function is implemented at a very high level in Kadpat. The Canadians developed this camouflage taking into account the Canadian landscape conditions - the predominance of mixed and coniferous forests - which is why its color scheme, being "narrowly sharpened", is ideal for Canada. As for the implementation of the deforming function, the Canadians used the experience of ... the USSR, and by analogy with the GLC, they did not make spots of smoothly rounded shapes, but used many small square elements. The fact is that square elements, despite the lack of correspondences in living nature, work very well "in motion" - better than elements of smooth shapes. As a result, naturally, they did not sit on two chairs (Kadpat falls short of the GLC in terms of deforming function - the spots are too small), but at least they tried.

After the adoption of the new camouflage by the Canadian army, the Americans decided to keep up. The first to think about changing camouflage, as usual, were the USMC (marines), since, in fact, they fight more often and in general they need it more. Realizing that the Canadians have good camouflage, but it would be somehow strange if the Americans wear a non-American design, the American Marines created their own version of camouflage, taking Kadpat as a basis. The result is Marpat.

In principle, Marpat is indeed more versatile than Kadpat. In the sense that for him, Marpat, it is equally difficult for him, Marpat, to find landscape conditions in which the imitation function will be 100% implemented.

However, in the new colors, the USMC fighters looked cooler than the military personnel of other branches of the military in Woodland, which made the rest of the Pentagon offended. It was decided to transfer all the US Armed Forces to a new uniform, for which the development of a new pattern was ordered.

When developing Acupat, the Americans proceeded from the following circumstances:

• The main theater of operations, one way or another in the near future, is the Near and Middle East.
• Try now to find a non-urbanized area - there are solid buildings everywhere.
• The battlefield is always dust and smoke.
• The Wehrmacht had beautiful colour"Feldgrau" personal development of Hugo Boss.
• Black does not occur in nature (this is the REAL statement of the creators of Acupat).

The result is what Americans seriously consider to be a universal color scheme. Well, in any case, then they did. In any case, the members of the commission who approved the acceptance of Acupat.

I must say that in an urbanized area in the Middle East, in conditions of smoke and dust, Acupat works well. But in the European forest ...

Cartoons are interested in several things. Firstly, it uses as many as 6 colors and up to 10 transitional shades of these colors, and these transitional shades are formed by the "diffusion" of color spots. Secondly, Multicam has not one, but THREE background colors, and they are quite dull, and their spots are blurred. Nephon colors have spots with pronounced boundaries, and as a result, these spots are perceived as being at a different distance than the background ones (due to the fact that the eye perceives clearer objects as being in focus, and less clear ones as being out of focus, which, in turn, leads to the illusion of a difference in the range to these objects), which creates the illusion of empty space (in terms of range) between them. This illusion of empty space performs a deforming function somewhat more effectively than large smashing spots, which, combined with a dull background of natural shades (performing an imitation function), ultimately creates one of the most effective camouflages of our time.

Multicam turned out to be so effective, and for almost any type of terrain, that at present it is second only to Woodland in terms of prevalence. Cartoons are worn by law enforcers literally in all countries. In the Russian Federation, for example, it is preferred by the FSB special forces. In Ukraine, everyone who has enough money and common sense not to wear Flektarn is dressed in it (more on that later). In England, based on it, they developed their own Multicam. And only in the United States, he ... is not officially a member of the supply chain, although half of the armed forces switched to him on his own initiative.

In addition to Akupat and Multicam, several other camouflages apply for the title of "Scorpion", one of which is A-Tax.

A-Tax appeared a little later than Acupata and Multicam, but within the framework of the same "Scorpio Theme". The developers of A-Tax proceeded from the same principles as the developers of Multicam, however, they took into account two facts:

• There are only one color scheme for cartoons, which may not please the customer (who learned the word "versatility" and burned himself on Acupat).
• Old washed KZSka model 1957. in terms of deforming function, it is much steeper than the multibillion-dollar-consumed-on-its-development Acupat sample of 2011.

Having crossed the Multicam (with its 3D effect) with the KZSkoy, and subsequently washed the resulting product for greater blurring of the background spots, the American developers received the A-Tax. The soldier in A-Tax looks like a blur against the background of horizontal burdock leaves, so both functions are implemented there with a bang.

A-Tax is available in several colors, reflecting different types of landscape (forest, desert, city).

Currently, the Americans are scratching their skulls in thought as to whether they should replace Acupat with A-Tax as officially accepted for supply. Two circumstances hinder making a decision on this: first, the hope that some of the developers will still guess to lobby their interests at least in the same amount as the developer Acupat; and secondly, the presence of even more interesting camouflage in nature - Kriptek.

It was these considerations that guided a group of enthusiasts, consisting of American veterans of the DB in Iraq and Afghanistan, who decided to cut their own camouflage, and, possibly, nominate him for the "Scorpion".

Continuing the tradition of the creators of A-Tax - crossing existing camouflages, the developers of Kriptek crossed the American Multicam with the Russian Raster, creating an international hybrid. From Multicam, it has background blur, which makes it difficult to accurately determine the distance and creates the effect of "empty space", from Raster - a twisted mesh, and it is twisted in all three directions (as in Raster), which also creates a 3d effect. Also, the developers of Kriptek decided that the camouflage should be not only effective, but also effective, and made the mesh not in a boring brown color, like NPO Spetsmaterialy, but in the form of reptile scales. It turned out really cool.

Like the developers of A-Tax, the Cryptecs did not bother with excessive versatility, but simply developed 6 colors: forest (Mandrake), steppe-desert (Nomad), demi-mountain (Highlander), urban (Urban), winter (Yeti) and night (Typhoon).

Interestingly, initially the Kryptekites stated that their camouflage was primarily intended not for law enforcement agencies, but for hunters; however, then they changed their minds.

Since Kryptek is objectively almost the most effective camouflage to date (the most effective - for sure), it already has imitations and analogues. In particular, the Chinese made their own version of the Kriptek (there is an opinion that they simply did not want to buy the Kryptek license, but they wanted to start production), however, the Chinese version turned out to be somewhat worse - it is not so blurred background, and the grid has smaller cells and occupies a larger area than the original.

At present, the Pentagon, like Buridan's donkey, rushes between Multicam, A-Tax and Kryptek in search of an optimal replacement for Acupat.

UK camouflages.

When developing camouflage, the British proceeded from the common sense that the battlefield is not exactly the same landscape as it was on this field before the battle. On the elements of the landscape, you know, a certain aesthetic effect is exerted by hot gases, fragments, shock waves, flying bullets and shells, and other human activities and their products.

Taking into account these features, the PDM was developed. However, it turned out that the DPM shows very good results even in the virgin area in relation to the impact of the database.

DPM stands for Disruptive Pattern Material. There are also urban and desert variants of PDAs.

The first truly massive army, and not narrowly sharpened special forces, DPM variants were adopted to supply the British Armed Forces in 1966. Since then, DPM has changed the color gamut (or rather, shades) several times with the same texture. Each new version of the PDA was assigned a digital index according to the year of acceptance for supply - there are PDA-66, PDM-68, etc. The most recent version of the PDM was developed in 1995.

PDM turned out to be quite effective for its time (it was considered that it was much superior to Woodland), therefore it became quite widespread not only in England and the countries of the British Commonwealth, but throughout the world (although not as wide as Woodland). There are a significant number of DPM clones, in Russia an analogue of DPM is being produced under the name “Smog” or “Doll”.

The DPM is currently being withdrawn from supply in the British Armed Forces, but remains in Ireland and a number of military units in the Netherlands.

Currently, the ICC is officially on the supply of the British Armed Forces. In this, the British overtook the Americans, who have not yet officially accepted Cartoons.

Pencott is a hybrid camouflage that combines positive sides smooth-spotted and pixelated coloring. This camouflage lacks black elements. The imitation function is realized by coloring and the size of the spots, the deforming function is realized by a pattern with 3D imitation and grouping of spots.

The pattern of this camouflage shows the strong influence of the German schemes of the WWII times, even visually Pencott resembles the Russian "Partizan", which is absolutely precisely created on the basis of German experience.

Like most modern camouflages, Pencott comes in several color variations.

Not included in the supply, it is a commercial camouflage.

Australian camouflage.

Camouflages of Germany.

1. Splitter andRain ("Rain") - of all Western countries, Germany has the most experience in creating its own camouflage colors... Actually, the first camouflage among the Germans appeared in the First World War. In the 1930s, the Splitter camouflage appeared in Germany in several modifications, which was actively used during WWII - however, the fabric of this color was used mainly for sewing raincoats, tents and special equipment such as parachute jumping suits. At the same time, Germany can be considered the birthplace of camouflage field uniforms - it was there that, since 1943, a completely camouflaged uniform was adopted to supply SS field units. In texture and colors, it was similar to the modern Russian "Partizan".

After the end of WWII in Germany, several variants of camouflage uniforms were developed, however, until the 1980s, none of them consisted of supply for a sufficiently serious time. At the same time, the "Rain" camouflage was developed in the GDR, which was used to paint the field uniforms of both the GDR army and a number of other armies of the Warsaw Pact (in particular, the armies of the People's Republic of Poland and Czechoslovakia). This camouflage was created on the experience of camouflage of the 1930s, but in the full sense of the word, it was not a camouflage, being a gray-olive background with many short vertical brown stripes, creating a picture of the falling rain.

It was only at the end of the 1970s that a successful camouflage variant, Flektarn, was developed in the FRG.

Flektarn's developers have combined the incompatible: they managed to solve the contradiction between deforming and imitation functions by combining small (imitation function) spots into large groups of spots (deforming function).

On the one hand, Flektarn's developers used the experience of the 1940s - individual Flektarn elements resemble German camouflages of that time. On the other hand, Flektarn was a significant step forward in the development of camouflage, because For some reason, no one guessed before such a simple solution to combine functions before Flektarn.

For some time (before the advent of Multicam) Flektarn was considered the most effective camouflage in existence, and even now it is included in the unofficial top of camouflage textures. At the same time, it is believed that Flektarn is most effective in Western European conditions, and in conditions of Eastern European coniferous forests and birch groves, its effectiveness (especially in the imitation function) decreases.

Flektarn is available in several colors, in particular, desert and tropical (the latter is called "Tropetarn").

Consists of the supply of the Bundeswehr. In addition to Germany, it is very common in Ukraine - both in the Armed Forces of Ukraine and in “volunteer units”. Ukrainians believe that wearing Flektarn emphasizes their Europeanness, which is why they often wear it with Bundeswehr patches (which does not always delight the Germans).

Camouflages of France.

The first post-war French camouflage pattern, the Lizard, was created in the 1950s. Initially, the servicemen of special units were equipped with it, but then it became an all-army one.

There are allegations that the Lizard was created taking into account the experience of German camouflage builders, but I leave this issue for the reader's consideration (in my IMHO, from the German camouflages of the WWII times in Lizard is somehow not enough).

All tiger-colored camouflages, from the famous Philippine Tiger Stripes to the Russian Tiger, were developed on the basis of Lizard.

Lizard is still on the supply of the Armed Forces of a significant number of countries, from Portugal and Greece to Senegal, in France itself he was removed from the supply, giving way to the CCE. Official Turkish camouflage is also a type of Lizard.

First, in CCE the background spots are not green (as in Woodland), but gray. Secondly, the spots themselves are larger than in Woodland. And thirdly, the spots are "flattened" in comparison with Woodland in the horizontal plane, because the French took into account the rule "when moving, horizontal spots retain their masking properties."

By the way, the concept of "Central Europe" in the name of the camouflage is not about longitude, but about latitude. This does not mean "Central Europe" in the sense from Germany to Bulgaria, but "Central Europe" as a zone of deciduous forests (that is, not southern or northern Europe).

Officially consisted of supply in the Armed Forces and the Foreign Legion of France, it is not widespread around the world.

Has a "desert" version called DDP.

Camouflage of Italy.

The Italian army is currently wearing the Vegetata color scheme. The camouflage was developed in the 2000s and has been in supply since 2007.

The basis for the development was Woodland, whose spots the Italians gave a more "broken", close to the pixel shape. Therefore, Vegetata is sometimes mistakenly referred to as "digital Woodland", although in reality it is "not digital and not Woodland."

Camouflages of China.

Nevertheless, there are several camouflages that are characteristic of the PLA. For a long time, the Chinese wore their own version of Woodland, more like the Soviet Amoeba. Interestingly, for the Marine Corps, one of the colors used in this camouflage was blue. The spots themselves have been slightly modified from the original Woodland.

This camouflage shows very high efficiency in the highlands, where the gray-brown range is dominant. Due to this, it is produced in many countries, including the Russian Federation, but it is not officially supplied anywhere. At the same time, it is actively worn by the PLA military in Tibet.

Only in 2007 did the Chinese introduce a uniform camouflage pattern for their armed forces.

The principle of versatility was realized by choosing a background color of gray - which is common both in nature and in urban areas. The pixel shape of the spots was typical for all camouflages of that time - as already mentioned, pixel spots "behave" better when the subject moved. The deforming function is realized due to the dominance of the background over the area (i.e. the foreground spots are made quite narrow), the imitation function is due to the selection and combination of colors.

Type 07 is available in several colors. For example, traditionally for the PLA Marine Corps, elements of blue are used. Type 07 is officially on the supply of the PLA, in the rest of the world it is not widespread.

Denmark camouflage.

The Danes reduced the number of colors to three, and made the colors themselves more faded - instead of light green, they used gray, instead of dark green, olive, and brown was excluded. The camouflage turned out to be perfect for northern forests Denmark and ... Russia.

The Danish Flektarn is the case when camouflage is officially on the supply in one country, and is most widely used in another - and specifically in the Russian Federation. Although it is not included in the supply of the RF Armed Forces, it is nevertheless very common here and is produced by several manufacturers.

Swedish camouflage.

The deforming function is achieved by color contrast (as in the KZS) and also by the fact that the connection of the edges of the polygons contributes to the formation of a kind of 3D effect; imitation - by the selection of shades. Consists of supplies to the Swedish Armed Forces. Has a "desert" version.

Swiss camouflage.

Actually, if the Chinese are the only ones who use camouflage blue color then the Swiss are the only ones using red. The red elements of the picture just symbolize the red spring flowers with which the Alps are covered in the corresponding period. Apart from Switzerland, this camouflage is not widespread anywhere.

Camouflage of Ukraine.

1. "Toad" - For modern Ukraine, a situation is characteristic in which the number of various paramilitary formations is so great that it inevitably creates a situation of "uniform No. 8" (we wear what was stolen).

Officially, the supply of the Armed Forces of Ukraine consists of the Soviet "Bhutan", however, the dominance of the psychological paradigm "Ale not yak among the Muscovites" forces Ukrainian warriors of various gangs and calibers to wear something different.

Considering that who is the war - and who is the mother, many enterprises left over from the Ukrainian military-industrial complex, with the emergence of the need for proper Ukrainian camouflage, actively began to develop and promote itself, the Ukrainian camouflage itself.

Despite the many developments, probably only one of the Ukrainian camouflages, which has the poetic name "Toad", is of interest.

This camouflage is designed for the dominant Ukrainian landscape - forest-steppe with sparse deciduous groves.

It is interesting that the deforming function is achieved due to the color contrast (as in the KZS), and the imitation function is achieved both due to the shape and size of the spots that imitate foliage, and due to the selection of shades. It is also interesting that Toad is the only camouflage that uses a bright lime color.

Apparently, the developers of Toad wanted to repeat to some extent the successful Multicam scheme (as evidenced by the shape of the background spots and the presence of diffuse transitions), but they did not really succeed. The secret of Multicam lies in the fact that the foreground spots are clearly delineated, which, in combination with indistinctly delineated background spots, creates the illusion of volume. The developers of the Toad in this regard are similar to the adherents of the cargo cult who are trying to imitate something external, not understanding the essence of the internal - the foreground spots in Toad are not only low-contrast relative to the background, they also have pronounced diffuse transitions (which basically kills 3D- the effect).

Nevertheless, for the Ukrainian conditions, Toad is quite satisfactory. Anyway, similar to the English Pencott to the point of confusion.

Currently, Ukrainians mainly wear Multicam, German Flektarn and wear the remnants of Bhutan; Form # 8 is also common. The toad, although objectively somewhat superior to Flektarn, is not officially a supply officer.
