"Cartoons" to replace "pixel": the Ministry of Defense announced a new camouflage for the Armed Forces
"Dear manufacturers and suppliers of real property for the Armed Forces of Ukraine! We bring to your attention that the Central Department of Material Support Development has approved the MM-25 masking drawing for further use in the manufacture of objects of real property,"-said on the site "Partner MOU". The Boroshno News profile media noted that the previous camouflage-Pixel-was called "MM-14". It was original and the new drawing would repeat the well -known "cartoons".
Analysts noted that the rights to this camouflage end in the fall, and then everyone will be able to use it freely. However, as the content authors explained, you should not expect a quick transition. Replacing the form will take time, but a considerable number of units can have time to "dress" in a year. The new camouflage was also commented in the First Division community. It was reported that MM-25 is a copy of the American Multicam.
"At the same time, it is unknown whether the forms will be kept according to the current statutory standards. The introduction of a new camouflage should begin in the fall of this year. Remember" MM-14 "in an unspoken quiet word," the content authors said. Analysts added that Ukraine has examples of original camouflage created on Sono Multicam - "Mavka" by Velmet or the original "predator" by Combat SPN.
It is noted that the use of the "Multicama" is related to the expiration of the patent in the fall, but Ukrainians have resources, competencies and production base to create their own universal drawing. "In any case, the introduction of a new camouflage pattern is an important step forward and unconditional achievement. However, it also carries problems, including the problem of identifying hostile and infantry, because the enemy has switched to a similar drawing with VKPP 3. 0.
That is why we need a national camouflage,"-said. Officially, the terms of transition to a new camouflage are not disclosed, as well as when it starts. However, as informed in the "militaristic", this process can take several years. Espresso said that Multicam is a deformation camouflage pattern developed in 2002 by the US company Crye Precision in conjunction with the U. S. Research Center. Army Soldier Systems Center (Natick Labs).
This drawing consists of irregular spots of 7 colors, which allows you to mask on different types of terrain. "Cartoons" are already worn by a number of NATO countries, including the United Kingdom, Australia, the United States, Germany and France. Recall that the Armed Forces had a reform, which resulted in the last brigade, which was tank, became a difficult mechanized. The command stressed that the brigade evolves, but "traditions will be unchanged.
