"What if the opposing side wears the same camo?" That's exactly I love Latvian new camo, they are not following Multicam pattern or even if it's just its color (i.e. what Romania, Hungary, Portugal, Slovenia and Australia done)
I have been wondering if anyone would cover the "FANCI" pattern. I found some photos back in November of 2023 of government troops wearing the pattern, but some of these in your video are new to me as well as the information. An amazing presentation! Thank you! :)
So many different patterns all in one unit is so weird, but then I am from Germany and it's all Flecktarn here (in a few different colors when I served).
Great content! I`d love to see an episode on the various (and many) patterns fielded in South Africa from the 1970`s up until the Soldier 2000 pattern was introduced...
1:35 thank you for doing your best to read out the foreign name and not doing a gag about how strange it reads or how bad you are at pronouncing stuff etc.
That police camo is actually really good. (Both the blue and white) Easily identifiable, unique, and acts as a semi-urban camouflage (granted I don't know how actually Urban the places they would br used in are). For a police force, it works great.
same uniforms is the exact problem the first half a year at least of the Ukraine-Russia conflict saw, leading to the designation paint jobs like ZOV and the neon colored armbands
Je vais écrire en français au lieu de l'anglais pour que vous compreniez : soldats loyalistes FANCI futur fds et rebelles étaient tous des militaires des mêmes corps. De même lors de leurs attaques de camps militaires et commissariats, les rebelles récupéraient les tenues de camouflage militaire des soldats morts ou capturés. Cela a donc donné une armée et des ennemis partageant les mêmes tenues.
It was just a way to differentiate the rebellion from the national army due to the infiltration at the time. to create calm within the population outside of Abidjan. Tis all
Imagine we used this on Multicam since a lot of nations started adopting multicam style camouflage. Let's say Ukrainian's Multicam with a text "UKRAINE UKRAINE" and the Russian Multicam with a text "RUSSIA RUSSIA" . Imagine that on the battlefield. It's so goofy to just imagine that but it kinda solve some problems 😂 probably the same solution by taping it with red or blue duct tape.
@@timewave02012 Partially correct, Battle Order did a good video on it, at the start of the war it identified the front of attack, it was used like the Desert Storm Chevron V for identification. Z, V, and some other symbols were used by RUS. Now though Z has taken on a nationalistic, one could almost say fascistic connotation.
@@timewave02012 it is an interesting way to identify a friend or foes on a vehicle. For uniform wise, I saw many Russian soldiers wearing a "Z" patch as more of a moral patch rather than identification purpose since some patch variants are camouflaged with EMR or just too small to see or nobody has time to identify whether they want to shoot first, ask later or have a look and get shot.
“Is that an ally or an enemy? Hang on…I need my glasses.” 🙂 Also that geometric/fractal camo at 11:50 looks amazing. Also also, kudos on pronunciation, it sounded excellent to my ear!
That sideways raindrop police camo is kinda dope.
Can't explain how or why, but it's somehow very cyberpunk 2077

Agreed!
Absolutely. It’s both simple and looks really good from a distance.
using text to create camo is an interesting idea
No its not
@@reapthewhirlwind6915 I think it's interesting
More than I ever thought I would know about Ivory Coast camouflage
Okay, that Police Nationale uniform is pretty fucking nice.
Im a simple man, i see the notification, i click.

You mean the one at 0:09?
The FANCI pattern with the bright yellow lettering is awesome.
What a fanci-pants fellow that Gbagbo

That word camouflage is pretty damn cool looking
A Uniform covered with the lyrics of Karma Chameleon.
Great video, but you missed the widespread tradition of using text in african textile patterns
and its right in the name: TEXT-ile

When your govt conscripts to fight in Ukraine, you'll see the various camouflages used by the Russians.
Great content!

"Hey does that bush have printed text on it?"
TIA, this is Africa.
The police uniform could have been used in the movie Idiocracy.
Great video as always! It would be nice to see a video about the DPM or even the PECOC trial camouflages
The police one looks pretty cool.
Do the Alien Resurrection uniforms, please! :3
Please do more video off this country uniforms please 🙏🥺🙏🥺❤❤❤❤❤
This was an interesting video to watch.
Can you do a video on the Camo BDU from the movie SOLDIER from 1998,starring Kurt Russel?
Could you possibly do a uniform history of the Australian Defence Force uniforms?
A country where every third militia man has a different uniform, or not uniform, so to speak!
that OIPR pattern is quite nice.
I would wear that fractal pattern, pretty sweet
The National Police on is cool too
Hugo Boss perfected the military uniform long ago.
Never heard of this stuff.
Camouflage uniforms in Africa are wild 👍🏻🇦🇺
I can't wait for Malaysia and Philippines camo video
This was a great video!
Relationships…. It’s complicated.
You never make a video on Indian army 's uniform pattern
Really interesting. Thanks.

you just have to show a new camo at an african warlord and he'll buy it,

Russia marks vehicles with Z, which isn't even a Cyrillic letter. Cyrillic "Z" is "З" (no, that's not a "3").

Words on camo is no good idea. Coz it appears on pants; back, front, legs, a$$
You should do Star Wars next. Iv always wounded about the camo they wear on the forest planet. Got to be milsurp.
Really keeping those stereotypes alive and true.
"fanci" and "FaRCrI"

Text camo is weird stuff. Looks like ragtag recycled camo
Looks like someone did not bother to remove the watermark off an image he found online.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian soldiers opted for a simple solution, duct tape 😂

Englishspeakers attemting to pronounce French is oddly amusing.
