New Mongolian digital patterns

Post by TennoHeikaNate Sun Dec 01, 2019 9:22 pm

Found some photos of some newer Mongolian digital patterns.
First is a pic from Khaan Quest 2019, I thought this guy was wearing US loaned UCP or the Kazakh digital but it's in the Mongolian uniform cut.

Second is this blue digital pattern, I believe it's for their Internal Affairs branch, probably including police/customs/prison services.

And lastly is this near MARPAT copy apparently worn "...in use by the Border Guard Unit serving in the Lake Buir Nuur region (on the border with China), formed in 2019" (Camopedia)

Nice!

Interesting to see UCP being used a pretty much everybody is abandoning it. The question I have is if it replaced the brown digital or if it is in addition to it.

From the same exercise, Khaan Quest 2019 I found only that one photo of the UCPish pattern being worn, everyone else was still wearing the brown/arid digital. So I think it's safe to say it will be sticking around for awhile longer.
I can't see any insignia on his coat, so I don't know what branch or what his profession is. They seem to be pretty adamant to having a unique pattern for each branch. Could possibly be Air Force, I have no idea though.

The distinctive brown digi pattern is still the best variant IMHO.

Ah, I see, thank you Gilles for catching that. I've now noticed in other photo examples of the uniform that it is in the standard Mongolian M88 style cut. I wonder if Hurelsukh is wearing one of those Chinese/Middle Eastern ones like what the Kurds are wearing?
In addition, I found this photo from January 2017 from an article about a Mongolian border guard unit being closed down, they appear to be wearing said MARPAT camo, suggesting it's at least a few years older.

"In January 2017, soldiers from Dornogovi aimag, who were serving in the border between 0184 and the Ulaanbaatar Military Area in Ongon soum of Sukhbaatar aimag, were officially closed."

That 2017 picture is a different uniform. It's the standard digital pattern, but with a light brown (almost tan) instead of the chocolate brown of MARPAT.

A bunch of years ago there was a commercial Chinese uniforms, in the P95 cut, that used similar colors. The brown is lighter than MARPAT, but not as light as the Mongolian uniform. Here's a pic of it for reference.

Oh boy, so there's two near-MARPAT copies in use by Mongolia that are similar but not quite the same? Looking at some more photos I think I'm starting to see the difference, comparing these following ones with the bottom three. I guess one is closer to tan, and the other is closer to MARPAT?
The one with the woman next to the man (her father) behind the car mentioned they are part of an anti-poaching unit, I think under the jurisdiction of the Border Guards.
