Uncover your potential', indeed! Once you stop ogling the girl, though, you might notice that this Australian Special Air Service (SAS) recruiting poster shows Australian Disruptive Pattern Camouflage to very good effect. [Image courtesy Brad Turner collection.]

Berëzka
Russian Federation

Although the commercially-produced Berëzka (Russian: Берёзка, 'young birch tree') camouflage strongly resembles the older 'sun bunnies' (Russian: солнечные зайчики, trans. solnechnyye zaychiki) design, the two patterns are, in fact, quite distinct. The shapes and distribution of the light-coloured elements in this two-colour camouflage pattern differ significantly from those of its Soviet progenitor. The colours — lime green and khaki — are also quite distinctive, and are suggestive of the deep yellow and khaki colour scheme that was introduced with the 1981 2-colour PV KGB camouflage. pattern.

Like most commercial Russian camouflage patterns, Berëzka is presumably intended for use by Frontier troops of the Committee of State Security (Russian: пограничные войска Комитета государственной безопасности, trans. pogranichnyye voyska Komiteta gosudarstvennoy bezopasnosti, PV KGB) and the Interior Troops of the Ministry for Internal Affairs (Russian: Внутренние войска Министерства внутренних дел, trans. Vnutrenniye Voiska Ministerstva Vnutrennikh Del, VV MVD), who might seek to supplement their regular army camouflage uniforms. It might also be worn by private security contractors.
