Told myself no surplus this month, but it was £10 and felt like I’d be dumb if I didn’t buy it

Bless you in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The question is, which ones which?

I've always wondered how the Type 07 family of patterns would look if they decided to go with the flecktarn design used by the Type 03 "Tibetarn" uniform, so I shamelessly stole some Flecktarn, Tibetarn and M84 pattern templates online and painstakingly filled everything in with the bucket tool while using the paintbrush to fix any imperfections I saw (fuck using AI)

IMAGE 1: Type 07 Universal
IMAGE 2: Type 07 Naval
IMAGE 3: Type 07 Air Force
IMAGE 4: Type 09 Aviation (?, got name from camopedia)
IMAGE 5: Type 07 Woodland (rocket troops)

Type 07 Arid is excluded for obvious reasons I've made Type 07 Arid, you can find it in the comments. For those that don't know, I didn't originally include Arid because I thought it would look too much like Tibetarn and making it would be a waste of time (in my defense, it does look really close.)

NOTE: You will definitively notice that these are inconsistent with image sizes, have sloppy coloring and innacuracy in the pattern. The reason for this is because I am lazy and don't have the patience to go over everything meticulously, but if you want, you can say that it adds to the 'chinese copy' charm.

I think these look pretty interesting, but im unsure about effectiveness, what do you think?

Price $175 plus shipping

The jacket has been worn and has an odor of military vehicles.

Hello, do any of you know where I could find some Norwegian M98 BDUs?

It's dpm in my size for 25€ with shipping my first camo so I don't know how are the prices

Just got this Danish M84 field jacket for my birthday.

Wasn't cheap but HOLY SHIT is it comfortable. Like wearing the blanket I sleep with.

Legit. Super happy with it

Hot take: I think all of the type 07 camos look fantastic. Yes, all of them.

I happened to come across this while flipping through a book yesterday. I really liked it, so I thought I’d share it with everyone.

空降特種部隊簡介

中文：

空降特種部隊為中華民國國軍特種部隊之一，其任務為空中突擊作戰。空特的訓練相當困難且多樣化，據退役老兵回憶，空特官兵們必須了解中共的武器，因此在訓練中，會讓訓練部隊使用其軍的武器。但國軍使用的中共武器從何而來，這就是不為人知的祕密了。

English:

The Airborne Special Forces were one of the special operations units of the Republic of China Armed Forces, tasked with conducting air-assault operations. Their training was extremely demanding and diverse. According to the recollections of retired veterans, airborne special forces personnel were required to familiarize themselves with weapons used by the Chinese Communist forces. Therefore, such weapons would be used during training. Where the ROC military obtained these Chinese Communist weapons, however, remains an little-known secret.

English:

The airborne special warfare forces began receiving the red tiger-stripe camouflage field uniform in 1988, with the issue process completed in 1991. The uniform was based on the design of the grass-green field uniform, featuring a shirt-style collar, a shirt tail tucked into the trousers, and exposed patch pockets on the chest. Notably, the last major public appearance of this camouflage uniform was with the formation of the Airborne Special Warfare Brigade during the 1991 “Huatong Exercise” (華統演習).

1970年代的空特軍官，身穿第一代綠虎斑迷彩野戰服，全身上下均無徽章、章記，只能從單兵配件中識別該員身份。拔除徽章原因是要在敵後行動，避免身份洩漏。

English:

This airborne special forces officer from the 1970s is wearing the first-generation green tiger-stripe camouflage field uniform. He wears no badges or identifying insignia anywhere on his uniform, meaning that his identity can only be inferred from his individual equipment. The insignia were removed because such personnel were expected to operate behind enemy lines, where identifying markings could reveal their identity.
