Camouflage Pattern Information:
The KLMK Camouflage—an acronym for “Kamuflirovannyy Letniy Maskirovochnyy Kostyum” or “Camouflaged Summer Deceptive Suit”—was introduced by the Soviet Union in the late 1960s. Known informally as “Birch” camo, it features vertical, branch-like strokes in pale green over an off-white base. Designed for concealment in open steppe, grassland, and forested terrain, the pattern was primarily issued to reconnaissance and special operations units. Notably, KLMK was one of the earliest camouflage systems to exhibit a high-frequency, near-digital visual effect—decades before pixelated designs became widespread. Though originally produced as an overgarment, the pattern’s influence can still be seen in modern camo development and remains in limited use today.
