Developed in the early 1990s, adopted for supply in 1993, the VSR-93 replaced the widespread “Afghani” khaki color. During the creation of that camouflage (times of the BMW beginning…), some German camouflages were considered. It is very often unofficially referred as the typical soviet camo “Berezka”, as well as the CPF. It was believed that the semi-official name of VSR-93 camo was “Barvikha”, but this name is not found in official documents. It is also sometimes called “Watermelon” (or “Vertical Watermelon”), but “Watermelon” also applies to VSR-98…
According to the responses of those who wear the form of this color, it is “very good to lie” in it, as longitudinal spots very effectively imitate the grass vegetation. However, according to experts, camouflage has too narrow a “sharpening”, is not universal and is applicable to any area. In addition, there is information that this type of coloring “created an unsightly appearance for soldiers on parades”, so the production of this coloring was taken off the supply in 1998.
This camouflage was developed in the USSR in the 1980s as the main pattern for field uniforms. Despite the production of a significant number of products from it, it was not particularly widespread in the troops, although it was quite effective. Nowadays, it is found in the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks of the Russian Federation and in the All-Union Armed Forces (in Ukraine it was the main camouflage for a long time), but in both cases it is actively removed from the supply, being replaced by other models. Other names of this camouflage are “Dubok” and “Amoeba”, and “Amoeba” is also called one of the camouflage from the Great Patriotic War (WW2). The very colors may vary, only the pattern remains unchanged: light green background, dark green spots and light brown amoeba-like intersecting ribbons.
In the 1990s, in many parts of the Russian Armed Forces, there was a situation where officers wore TTsKO camo, and private and non-commissioned officers wore the VSR-93, so in the 1990s, this camouflage was sometimes called “officer”. This coloring exists in two variants while maintaining the same texture scheme: in one variant small spots have a grey-silver color, in the other (it was on the supply in the Borderlands) – sand or khaki. The background color of both variants is olive, sometimes there are instances of marsh color. In any case, the background in this color scheme is always darker than spots. The spots themselves have an “angular” structure, consisting of many squares.
It is necessary to notice that the given color scheme, though it is considered by some experts “morally out-of-date”, well enough carries out both functions: deforming and imitating.
“Spectre SKWO” is another adaptation of “patterns” to Russian conditions. It has somewhat less versatility in comparison with Surpat, but, in comparison with the same, a slightly better imitation action in the forest landscape conditions.
There is also a variant of Specter SKWO camo, where the color scheme is corrected towards “yellow”. In contrast to Surpat, it is widely produced by several producers. Interestingly, it was Spectre that was personally used by I. Strelkov and his division.
The Sumrak camo was originally created for hunting, is an exclusive commercial camouflage. Like most hunting camouflages, it was designed for very narrow conditions: stony surface with moss, morning and evening. Suddenly, however, it turned out that this camouflage showed itself quite well in a much wider range of conditions than those under which it was created, which is why it became very widespread.
It is not officially used on the supply side but is used informally by some units and individual staff.
