how does “urban camouflage” military uniform work?

916 viewsOther

I understand that a camouflage uniform could work for someone hidden in a forest as its patterns help you blend in.

but, how the black and grey “urban camouflage” pattern make soldiers harder to find in an urban setting? I don’t see how that helps you blend in with the walls of buildings

It’s not going to make you invisible for an observer ten feet away, but it’s going to make you a lot harder to pick out by a spotter/sniper a few hundred yards away.

In somewhere like Gaza the pallet is going to be whites, beiges, and greys.

In somewhere wet like Ukraine it’s going to be whites, greys, and darker tones that mimic shadow/soil.

Against a modern skyscraper the contrast is sharp. Cover everything in a layer of building dust and some rubble and it works a lot better.
