Why do their uniforms look like the Canadian camo pattern?
Edit: MARPAT (US marine pattern) is straight up copied from CADPAT.
I think digital/pixelised patterns look unbelievably generic on any countries military. However the colours here look even worse than Canada's (they get a pass as the inventor of pixelised patterns). It just doesn't fit with America, does it?
Isn't being hard to distinguish and generic kind of a win for camo?
I don't know. Ideally you want to be hard to distinguish from nature, but once you spot someone, you want to know if it's friend or foe. That's why Ukraine wears bands of yellow, green or blue tape around their helmets, knees and shoulders and Russia the same in red or white.
