Army to introduce new combat uniform this month, with digital disruptive patterns & more comfort

Designed by NIFT, the uniform will be first showcased during the Army Day Parade on 15 January. It will be issued to officers and soldiers in batches in 2022.

Disappointing.
“The new uniform will maintain the same colour percentage as in the present uniform, which is a mix of colours and shades, including olive and earthen.
As reported by ThePrint, unlike the current style, there will be no tucking in of shirts.
The trousers will have additional pockets for the ease of the soldier. The material chosen for the cloth is meant to be “lighter but sturdier” and suitable for both summer and winter.
It was not immediately clear whether the new combat uniform will have shoulder and collar tags like the present one, or blackened ones for better camouflage.
Also, the shoulder stripes — denoting rank — could be moved to the front buttons, a pattern followed by other major armies as well”.
@Gessler i think your fears on twitter are now confirmed.

Not completely disappointing. It is better than the current one, but nowhere near the latest-generation patterns available.

For example, PLA camouflage -

Much better silhouette-breaking and will work even in an urban environment.

Even CRPF MARPAT blends better in a jungle environment.

Most of all know the bdu but here is it anyway

hopefully the velcroes are not loud and un reliable,the ucp's pattern had a very loud and un reliable velcro

Modern pla camo is probably the best in the world, even better than the us army version of multicam

Why not pixelise MULTICAM

I hope this scoop of coupta ji turns out wrong because I don't see any disruption in pattern. It's even worse than the current IA camo. Looks similar to the grotesque LTTE camp.

Pixellated MULTICAM/MTP
@Gessler what do you think, it would’ve been better than the pixellated CEC we’ll be using.

Ya'll Nibbiars this colour scheme is not effective for the dense forests.

Why not just use Multicam?

Ya'll Nibbiars The available colour schemes are not suitable and the Central European Pattern was found to be very effective in the Forested regions.

No other news agency has reported this other than Coupta.

Let's not jump the gun.

So I am not the only one who sees this eerie resemblance to the LTTE uniform.

We have discussed this before and agree that one-size-fits-all does not work for camouflage.
Different terrains need different camo patterns. But IA is not going for that, unfortunately. So they could opt for something that would be at least satisfactory in desert, mountain and green terrains ie Multicam. Not ideal, but this is India we are talking about.

Yes, he is, but then what would be the point of releasing a pattern before the much-vaunted inauguration on the Army day? Chances are that the army gave him one of the officially considered patterns as it is unlikely to make a leak to just Coupta like that.

The Army HQ would go crazy.

But knowing the incompetency of NIFT, I have my fears and reservations.

No I seriously like this , it's indigenous better than marpat and mtp.
Pakistani and chinese have their own camo it would be a shame if we adopted brit or ameriki camo
Even bangladesh uses it's own camo
