Types of Camo uniform for the Ministry of Defense

To prevent further questions and discussion and as well as to share some information about camo uniform of military man of the Ministry of Defense of the Republic Uzbekistan I decided to upload some photos and information. Here I’ll show camo patterns which were officially in use (or still in use) in our Army.
Of course we had a lot of officers and sergeants who ordered their camo uniform from cloth of other countries (Russia, USA, etc.) but I’d like to underline that was infringement of regulation.

So, the first type of camo uniform for all branches and services was “mountain-desert”. It was in use since 1994.

German “rain” pattern was in use in 2002-2006 mostly between military man of Special Task forces and Airborne.

In 2006 new camo patterns “mountain-stone” and “mountain-sand” were offered to our Army. These camo types replaced “mountain-desert” and “rain”.
“Mountain-stone”

“Mountain-sand” ...

“Mountain-sand” ...

In 2006 especially for Antiterror detachments from the Ministry of Internal affairs were borrowed “shadow” camo pattern.

Finally since May 2009 for all branches and services except Antiterror was offered “pixel” camo, and it’s planned to replace mountain-stone” and “mountain-sand” till 2011.

I should explain that camo cloth could differ because of different place (Bukhara, Russia, China, Belarus) and time of manufacturing. So one camo pattern can have different colors tints and cloth texture.

Great Pics , and some very cool camo !!

I really like that "mountain sand" camouflage...very cool!

Thanks for sharing these!

I like the Mountain Stone, that looks pretty slick

Thanks for posting these

The jacket in center have the "brown" and green inversed
I have write brown with "" because it is difficult to give a name at the color

Anyone know where I can find any of the camo hats from this country?

I can help if you really need.
Just email me.

Beautiful patterns.

Here is another variant of this pattern

i also put both of my patterns compared to Gilles set. I noticed 2 are the same and one is a different pattern all together






Gilles set on the right:


all 3 variants:




close up:
1st is the different pattern


2nd gilles uniform:


3rd my uniform same pattern as gilles but very different colors


comparison same pattern different colors:


different patterns similar colors:

Interesting! One variation is a lot smoother around the edges than the other. I have a uniform in my collection from an officer who was training here in the US about 9 years ago. It's of the rougher edged variety. I wonder if the differences are different factories or if there was some deliberate switch.

I suppose that the difference is because of different factories and time of production.

Hot sun + much laundries = difference in tone

actually it's possible to find absolutely new sets in different shade . But you are also right, that camo can change colour after usage.

Example

Gilles, you should move this camo to the Types of camo uniform for Uzbekistan law enforcements (except the Ministry of defense) because this pattern is the early version of camo for Internal troops of the MIA.

I have put here because the pattern is similar at this one
But not identical, and it is not only the miror effect
Gilles

Interesting comparison! Thanks.
