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.]

Dubok
Russian Federation

The version of Dubok (Russian: Дубок, 'little oak tree') depicted on this page is substantially the same as the Naro-Fominsk Dubok shown elsewhere on this Web site. It is a three-colour camouflage pattern, which comprises rough, elongated black-green and earth blotches, vertically-aligned on a fabric that supplies the third colour.

In this example, however, the fabric itself is woven from a mixture of light yellow and green threads. At a distance, these two colours visually blend, to produce a khaki background colour. Seen close to, though, they present an effect that can only be described as chatoyance. In fact, under certain lighting conditions, the fabric actually appears to be flecked with gold.

There is no evidence to suggest that this particular camouflage fabric is used in the manufacture of uniforms. Rather, it is used in the production of equipment. The example, shown here, was scanned from a new Russian 6Sh92 (Russian: 6Ш92) load-bearing vest.

It would be interesting to know what Russian soldiers think of this particular version of Dubok.
