'Hurrikán' ('hurricane')
Republic of Hungary

In 1990, Hungary led the movement to dissolve the Warsaw Pact Treaty Organization and began to cultivate closer ties with Western Europe. The country has been an active participant in the Partnership for Peace since 1994, and has contributed to NATO operations and several UN peacekeeping missions.

Known also as 'peacekeeper' and 'UN', the tropical 'Hurrikán' camouflage pattern was — as the nicknames suggest — developed specifically for use during peacekeeping missions in regions characterised by tropical woodland terrain. Essentially, it is a variation of the M49/82 camouflage pattern, which uses a light green background instead of light tan.
