FLORA PATTERN CAMO 4-POCKET JACKET (GREEN BASE)

Size X-LARGE (24" ARMPIT TO ARMPIT)

Introduced circa 1998, the Flora series of patterns (Arbuz or watermelon in Russian) at first appear to be a modification of the earlier 3-TsV pattern, in which the drawings have been enlarged and horizontally aligned. However, closer inspection reveals that the drawings are not precisely copied and therefore the Flora design should only be considered as "derivative" of the dubok. As with the earlier pattern, a number of color combinations have been produced, and the design became the standard general issue camouflage pattern for both conventional units of the Russian Armed Forces and the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MVD) until the introduction of the pixelated pattern.
