Re: Chinese steal german camo

the german flecktarn is in use since ww2
its not very likely that the chinese just "invented" it

Re: Chinese steal german camo

the flecktern was only issued to airborne troops and some waffen ss. what makes you think china cant make its own camo? most of the worlds camo looks very similar. i dont think ive ever seen real pla troops wear this camo either. "steal" is just not the right word.

Yeah, those are definately movie photos. Besides, why steal German camoflauge designs? If anything, the Digi-Camo the U.S Marines has looks several times more effective, though the German Camo is very similar in the looks department.

This kind of claim is both biased and pointless. Since those photos are from a TV soap (a fairly bad taste one too in my personal opinion), this thread should be regarded as non-military and will be better off staying in this forum. If there are more offensive comments, I will have no choice but delete the whole thread!

Like I said, this is a place to relax, and don't break it

Re: Chinese steal german camo

oh my god, are we still on this?
what is steal, people? who used camo at the first place? then the rest of the world "stole" from this country? so USMC stole from canada? and ACU is also a kind of digits, they also "stole" from canada?
this is not a real uniform. chinese media could not put real life PLA troop patches and uniform on tv. so they just found this camo out of nowhere, it doesn't mean it will be issued to the troop
here is a photo of new chinese desert(not the sand desert, dont' know the word in english) camo which is issued to the troops in Tibet

As others have said, 'stealing' is a very harsh word. If we used the term 'stole' for everything, then very little in any modern military would be legit! I assume that the UMSC probably took examples and refined the process. It is done with firearms, it is done with aircraft and it is done with combat boots.

And is the term your looking for 'Mountianous' or 'Alpine'? The uniform does looked BASSED off of the German Fletchard(spelling corrections?) cammoflauge which is also a Alpine cammo.

You are ALL wrong. Its is a REAL camo pattern. It is used in Tibet, and surrounding areas. Why do you guys all bash the hell out of each other when NONE of you have the real answer. I own a set and it is indeed issued.

How can someone even claim inventing things such as camo though really? We have been using camo for a very long time.
It tends to change colour due to enviroment obviously, so how the hell can any nations just go round, yes we invented this camo, i think personally that is just absurd.
