Russian Digital woodland Flecktarn

Hi guys, does anyone have any idea what the story is on this wonderful looking digitalized Flecktarn pattern? It is used by Russian troops and I have no idea how recent. What is it called? Who came up with this? etc.

I wonder if it is a commercial item. SPOSN makes a whole range of "US boonie" hats in different camo patterns.

The boonie dosent look digital, but I would say commercial..?

45th VDV regiment, may be.

WOW! The best dot pattern just got squared!

Me liky...

Yes, boonie looks like Mil-Tec trilaminate ones. Very awful in everything. Blarg!

Hi, I got offered this pattern one month ago from a Russian eBay dealer, but outside of eBay rules and protections, so 'we can both make profit', which I declined as it was not cheap.

He called it 'digital FROG-pattern' and sure enough, the Russian FROG-pattern (supposedly worn by border guards and special forces?) looks like a more squared but not pixelated Flecktarn, in slightly more contrasting colours.
So one possible name could be 'digital FROG-pattern'?

And Albano is right, I like the look of it!

I think you may be referring to the IZLOM pattern, which is kind of a pixelated flecktarn look with slightly amended colours. These are purely commercial or private purchase and shouldn't really be expensive. I decided not to buy any unless it can be proven to have been used by some regular Russian outfit.

The IZLOM is exactly the pattern the Russian guy called FROG-pattern for some reason, and it is indeed more pixilated but not digital. But the digital uniform I was offered for 200 USD looked to be the same cut and true digital or pixel camo shown on Aussie Flecktarn's original post.

Like someone has mentioned before, it seems many Russian units don what ever camo scheme and gear they feel like, and the camo variations are close to staggering - Russian DPM, Flectar-D, IZLOM, "Finnish" M/05-type, it is almost as hard to keep track of as the different patterns the Chinese army branches get to play with...

IZLOM is made by SPOSN (under contract) and there is another company called MODOKS that makes a commercial version called SKOL. It is used by Russian Special Forces and I noticed that neighbouring Kyrgystan is using it too.

Oh my God! That Kyrgyz officer looks like somebody force-fed Charles Bronson and ripped his moustache off!

Thank you for the information on the makers - are SPOSN doing more Russian patterns under contract, and would they be considered 'issued' or 'real military items', for those of us who cares about those things, please?

Yes, definitely. SPOSN are official contractors for the Russian military and they make many of the clothing items for the Russian armed forces in all different patterns, such as clothing for the VDV (Airborne troops) in "Sever" (Flecktar-D) pattern as well as IZLOM. Other patterns they make clothing in are "Partizan", "Berezka", "Palma Summer with Amoeba" (KM-L.) Recently they brought out a digital pattern, Spectre - and I have a feeling that might actually be the digital flecktarn I asked about in this thread - ???? I just did a google search on "Spectre." Hmmmm. More research required!

I am not sure how bonifide MODOKS is but there are plenty of photos on the internet with Russian troops using Modoks gear. So it looks pretty legit, to my eyes. Run google translator on this: http://www.modox.ru/ Nice website.
