MM-14
MM-14, also sometimes referred to as "Poroh-1" (Ukrainian: "Порог-1," lit. 'Threshold-1'),[1] is a camouflage pattern that has been in use by the Armed Forces of Ukraine since 2014.[2] HistoryMM-14 was first seen in use by Ukrainian special forces and air assault units in 2014,[2][1] but has since been adopted widely throughout the Ukrainian military.[1] Early batches of MM-14 uniforms produced by European military equipment manufacturer NFM Group were found to be highly flammable.[1] Along with this problem, the pattern also had a tendency to fade when exposed to sunlight for long periods of time. This led to the Ukrainian military choosing Kiev-based tactical clothing company PROF1 Group to manufacture the redesigned uniforms, with a different material used in production.[1] On July 15, 2015, the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense officially approved MM-14 camouflage for standard issue to the Ukrainian Armed Forces.[1][3] Design.jpg) MM-14 camouflage consists of a five-tone digital pattern of light beige, light green, swamp green, gray green, and dark gray.[1] This particular color scheme and pattern was designed specifically to work well in the Donetsk and Kherson regions of Ukraine.[4] Some more recent versions of MM-14 incorporate greenish swatches to better accommodate woodland environments.[1][4] UsersReferences
