"Cartoons" will not replace "pixel": the Ministry of Defense explained why the Armed Forces of the new camouflage

To spread: the Ukrainian army will receive a new camouflage pattern. The Ministry of Defense has approved Pateter MM-25 as an additional pixel-after numerous appeals from the front. In June 2025, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine made a decision to introduce a new MM-25 masking drawing. This was a response to the request of the Armed Forces Commissar and numerous appeals from servicemen who already use similar equipment in the course of combat missions. This was reported by the Defense Ministry.

The new camouflage will be used to manufacture material support elements. However, it is not a complete replacement of the current MM-14 ("pixel"). MM-25 is regarded as an alternative, such as the current models of "Olive", "Coyote" or MM-16F. The Central Department of Material Support Development (TsurMZ) has already contributed MM-25 to the updated technical specification A01xj. 29979-539: 2025 (02) for cotton and mixed fabrics.

More than ten suppliers have turned to Tsurmz with the initiative to get acquainted with the new camouflage and its color palette. "The decision to approve a new camouflage drawing is conditioned by numerous appeals of servicemen who perform combat missions and already use a similar pattern. Currently, the only option for them was to acquire such equipment at their own expense.

Our task is to provide the military with the necessary outfit and equipment Lieutenant Colonel Maxim Kayol, Chief of Tsurmz. The introduction of the MM-25 should facilitate the provision of the military with appropriate equipment, as well as to create additional opportunities for Ukrainian manufacturers who already have power for printing and sewing in new colors. The State Agency for Procurement of the DOT Ministry of Defense has already launched tenders for trial deliveries.

In 2025, they plan to buy up to 20,000 units of products using a new pattern. This volume will allow you to check the production capacity and gradually integrate the MM-25 into the material support of the troops. "We understand that new requirements for material support are a challenge for both the customer and the manufacturers. After receiving the request from the military, we initiated purchases in five positions that fall under these updated standards.

Our goal - that the military is able to meet their real needs, and manufacturers are able to realize the property. " We will remind, on July 25 manufacturers and suppliers of real property for the defenders were warned about the transition to the picture "MM-25". According to profile sources, it visually and conceptually repeats the Multicam camouflage used by the armies of NATO countries.
