meh, dont start this "they stole(copied) something", even if it looks similar, it doesn't there were no researches and testing of other stuff. Camo for similiar environment will may end up look same just because it works and there is no point in, how we say, inventing bicycle again, just to be "special"

I was just informing... i was bored

but doesn't this thread belong in the Russian forces faction area?

all i know was that one of my friends in the finnish army was mad becouse he was afraid he couldn't see the differnce between a russian soldier and one of his own in case of a war

[gazzthompson]

probably means the russian community section, which has been removed. as for similarity with finish camo... looks nothing alike.

war is war, theres no such thing as copying, only reverse engineering. also it looks nothing alike.

war is one place where there should be no rules (exceptions are the Geneva convention's rules, those are for protecting civis, those are fine. Against any combatants is what i mean) anything it takes to win.

The photo that caused the controversy - MVD troops in Georgia, 2008



Chap on the far left, wearing "Yeger" pattern. And before anyone else jumps up and down, the Russian copy of DPM "smog" (according to one chap I've talked to is apparently due to misinterpreting the word smock on a whole bunch of suplus DPM smocks the Soviets bought, thinking that it refurred to the pattern not the garment and the name stuck) has been known about for years.

Finnish M/05:

Russian Yeger:

As I'm sure you can see, they are not the same pattern. They're similar, wihtout question, but they're not the same.

Case closed.

Point of Camo is that you don't get seen at all

Also as a basic soldier you just fire at whoever you're ordered to fire at, that's the point of Fire Control orders. The officers will know where friendlies are, and also the weapons will be different.

Anyway from bob's picture - the Russian army doesn't seem organised enough to bring out a new Camo and make sure it's issued to everyone. Imho that photo makes them look like airsofters
