BABUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Same is the case with Pakifags, their combat uniform is more of semi-arid pattern useful in South Punjab-Rajasthan areas, or areas of Sindh-Kutch or in Balochistan and Waziristan, while their SSG Commandos have Woodland camo, which only means that Paki warfare doctrine is no warfighting just infiltration of terrorists, small cross border attacks and thats it, and same is with us that we have limited our camo to be used only in J&K and North East, while on Desert front and Tibetan borders we’ll be on a disadvantage, but we forget that at deserts the colour of camo starts fading away due to the dirt and sand everywhere (obviously).

Else I was watching this. Perfect for us, just pixelate this Tropical Multicam camo and we’re good to go.

The press is speaking only about the standard uniform at this point, that you'd see troops wearing generally. But at this point chances are that in order to ensure sizeable orders to make it tender-worthy (it is going to be tender-based now onwards), there are going to be specialist camo patterns too. Like arid/desert digital, snow plain/digital, etc. Might be done in a phased manner but nonetheless it will happen.

I don't think that is the color. It is what Coupta told us, meanwhile other news agencies re claiming the same for their colors.

However, the reports said that it will just be a pixelated version using the "same earthy colours" i.e., more like digital woodlands camo. Something like this;

This is the most dumbest shit I have seen in a while.... and I have seen quite a few dumb shits very recently... might as well dress up your soldiers' as clowns, so they can hold these balloons as they get clapped the fuck up.... this ain't even a clown show... its a whole damn carnival.

Holy schmeckers! It hurts my eyes watching this!

This literally paints a bull's-eye on every soldier's face, back and arse! Look how the dude stands out from the background even in the photoshop! This might work in the dry forests of interior Gujarat or MP (where even the naxals don't operate), but it would be the worst thing on the border.

What are the troops going to do in the Gir forest? Do garba with the lions?

Hmm i got nothing to say since 2019 copium pe chal raha hu that camouflage is similar to what cobra or crpf use in naxal or dry forests areas

CRPF commandos use this:

What part of this camo looks like Coupta's version to you? This is what I hope that it really is at the very least and not the yellow shit-pit that coupta showed us.

WTF is this crap. I don't see what environment this is supposed to camouflage into.

 

[nongaddarliberal]

Anyway what use is it. You often see 3 or 4 different sorts of camo on troops in operations, and many times a single soldier will wear 3 different sorts of camo. The helmet, BJP and uniform will each have different patterns. That's not going to change with the introduction of a new camo pattern. And remember that maroon shade cover on our new helmets?

It is going to change. That's the whole point of changing it. If you read all the various reports on this, the era of soldiers buying their own fabric is over. The Army is centralizing uniform sales with private tender participants. These will be the only ones who will be allowed to print the regular new and the special new camos.

The idea is to go from this:

to this:

The one thing that I admire in the PLA is their obsession with standardizing everything to one design, pattern, arrangement, etc.

Doesn't this look somewhat like the cloth which the army lays on tables during weapons displays?

Let's hope it happens that way.
