Russian army receives first new camo uniforms from Triada-TKO Kalashnikov.

The Triada-TKO company has begun deliveries of a new all-weather field uniform kit (VKPO 3.0) to the Russian army, in a very different scheme and overall color than the current one, mainly in the green tint. The first delivery included several tens of thousands of summer and windproof sets of suits and caps. The new Russian army camouflaged uniform is designed to better blend in with the surrounding environment and provide soldiers with maximum concealment and protection.

VKPO 3.0 is a uniform set developed by Triada-TKO together with specialists from the Clothing Department of the Department of Resource Support of the RF Ministry of Defense. The VKPO 3.0 sample 2022 includes underwear fleece thermal underwear (sweatshirt, underpants), fleece jacket, demi-season suit (jacket, trousers), windproof suit (jacket, trousers), insulated suit (jacket, trousers), summer suit (jacket, trousers, combat shirt), summer cap, demi-season hat (insulated) and winter scarf.

The new generation of VKPO has improved ergonomic characteristics and is made of materials with improved properties. The set is made in a new color.

Army Recognition raises an issue: the convergent studies on the ideal pattern aiming at maximizing the efficiency of camouflaged uniforms naturally lead to results very close for a growing number of armies. Hence, this new Russian camo pattern uniform closely resembles the one currently in service with the U.S. and other armies, namely the Belgian one (Multicam), which could once cause a serious concern…

The U.S. Operational Camouflage Pattern (OCP) was first released for sale in 2015, replacing the Army Combat Uniform's (ACU) Universal Camouflage Pattern (UCP), which had last been updated in 2005. The resemblance with Triada-TKO's one is clear (Picture source: U.S. Army)
