Camouflage is a basic type of combat uniform, in which camouflage is a new protective color with irregular patterns composed of green, yellow, tea and black. Camouflage requires that the reflected light wave is roughly the same as the surrounding scenery, which can not only confuse the enemy's naked eye reconnaissance, but also deal with infrared reconnaissance, making it difficult for the enemy's modern reconnaissance instruments to capture the target. Camouflage clothes first appeared as camouflage clothes, and camouflage clothes first appeared at the end of World War II, mostly "three-color camouflage clothes". After the war, some countries led by the United States were equipped with "four-color camouflage uniforms".
In the military parade of the 70th anniversary of the Anti-Japanese War held in September, 20 15, multi-terrain camouflage uniforms made their first public appearance. The camouflage uniforms of the People's Liberation Army are mainly divided into several categories: army general camouflage, army desert camouflage, army special warfare camouflage, navy camouflage, air force city camouflage, rocket jungle camouflage, armed police forest camouflage and so on. Camouflage training clothes are divided into summer and winter (07 camouflage clothes). The colors are woodland four-color camouflage patterns in summer and desert grassland colors in winter, which are common to the three armed forces.
Second, camouflage colors represent arms.
As for the color of camouflage uniforms, there are usually differences between services. For example, the army, navy and air force are all different, mainly reflecting their own service colors. In addition, countries also have their own styles. The purpose of using camouflage uniforms in the United States is to disturb the observation of human eyes, so the camouflage uniforms in the United States mostly use horizontal lines, which looks vague. This is related to the understanding of use in the United States. In short, camouflage suits not only suit their own characteristics, but also suit the needs of the combat environment. Here are some confusing military camouflage uniforms for everyone.
1, urban camouflage and marine camouflage
First of all, it must be clear that there are two versions of 07 city camouflage. The first is the 2009 edition, with light gray, dark gray, earth tone and blue colors; The second edition is 12, and the color scheme is white, gray, blue and black. The former only distributes airborne troops, while the latter widely distributes air force. Generally speaking, the latter is more common.
Navy camouflage is distributed to naval forces (including marine corps and reef and coastal defense forces). The colors are white, yellow, blue and dark green. Of course, the navy also has navy training uniforms, which are mainly distributed to ships, submarines and other arms.
Big trick: you only need to look at one color to distinguish between the two camouflage: yellow! The navy is yellow, but the air force is not. Generally speaking, marine camouflage is more "flower".
2. Jungle camouflage and woodland camouflage
There is only one word difference between these two kinds of camouflage, which is difficult for laymen to distinguish. 07 Woodland Camouflage is distributed to a large number of army troops and a small number of air force ground troops. Its color scheme is gray, green, black and tan.
07 Jungle Camouflage only matches Rocket Army, and there are two versions at present. Version 09, the color scheme is white, green, black and brownish red. Version 12, color matching is yellow, green, black and reddish brown. The former has only appeared in military parades, and the latter is more common.
Big trick: you only need to look at one color to distinguish between the two camouflage: yellow! The ones with yellow are the rocket army, and those without yellow are the army. Overall, woodland camouflage is more "green".
3. Woodland camouflage and special war camouflage
Special war camouflage, also known as hunter camouflage, is named mainly because it is the standard camouflage uniform for "hunter training". Special war camouflage is mainly distributed to special forces of land, sea and air, and a small number of border reconnaissance troops are also distributed. Its color scheme is yellow, green, brown and black.
Big move: just use two names to distinguish these two kinds of camouflage: special war camouflage is called "laver egg flower soup" and woodland camouflage is called "green vegetable egg flower soup". The main reasons for this naming are: the color of special warfare camouflage is generally dark, and the brown, black and yellow blocks are obvious; Woodland camouflage is generally green, with obvious yellow-green blocks.
