Will camouflage even matter in the next 20 to 30 years ahead? With how warfare is looking to go, and how it is going now, where do you see various nationalities' uniforms heading?

chainmail?

>chainmail
did you mean oroton?

>>936833308 (OP)
nope, it will all be drone wars

>>936833308 (OP)
Most wars are urban or countryside. Heat sensors and drones have made camo pointless. I think a lot of militaries will go with black, which is a poor choice. Darker greys and olive drabs are a much better choice. People don't realize that shadows are seldom black and grays and olive drabs blend into shadows more seamlessly. Dark blacks stand out in shadows and tend to draw the eye.

Yes, it will and still does. There's no reason not to use camouflage.

>Desert camo at the back.
Why did the U.S. replace the superior choice for the Iraqi and Afghan desert environments during the Global War on Terror era with UCP, which just looks like an urban camo?

the US military is ran by retards

i'd laugh if there was not countless example of burring tech that later became pivotal to win the war.
the mosquito wood plane comes to mind.

Scatouflage

>>936833308 (OP)
those light ghillies combined with thermal fragmentation tarp seem to be very effective tho
It will be mass produced, fire, fragment resistant, probably thermal non conducting and will likely include gambesons or protective inserts

We're going to have to resort to blackface if we're going to blend in with the BBC

Forgot image

better than UCP

lenticular lens armor with oroton/chainmail under shirt.

>>936834380
Is it legal to go hiking in this kind of outfit?

>>936833308 (OP)
we dont wear camo because its effective. we wear it because it's cool.

Camouflage has always been a grift. Just dressing in a flat, dull color works just as good as any weird pattern does. All you have to do is hold still and hide behind or under something, and don't move.

Olive drab uniforms aren't even bad in a present context. The Israelis still use them, and I think several other countries might still have at least some of their forces with olive uniforms, such as Austria.

Bigfoot sightings up 5000%!

>>936839754
its probably effective at extreme distances but we have drones, satellites, helicopters, infrared cameras, high powered optics, etc. that completely negate any use camouflage has. To me it just makes them stand out more.

Nigger shoplifting camouflage

What if soldiers are just ordered to wear civilian clothes? Wouldn't that confuse enemies?

>>936833308 (OP)
no

>>936833308 (OP)
A trigger finger and the naked eye will never be obsolete on the battlefield. They have to wear gear anyways, so it may as well have a camouflage pattern.

>>936833308 (OP)
I would this version may reach some degree of obsolesense

but you just adapt the camo to the new conditions like anti drone tech

or anti infared tech

or just flat out inviso gear

Soldiers have to wear identifiers according to the Geneva Conventions.

al qaedas uniform was eerily similar to their civilians.

That's why plausible deniability and Gitmo are things. Waterboard them and let Allah sort out his own anong the dead.

>>936834047
They spent a billion dollars trialing patterns that would have worked better, including one that was almost identical to multicam, and then some bozo in the Pentagon went nuh-uh I like the grandma's couch pattern.

It's funny because both camps in the pic work perfectly fine depending on where you are in that pic. Not sure why'd you'd be laying in a road though.

>>936834088
Cope (and also occasionally true).

The thing you have to remember is if you think the US military is retarded just remember the other guys are liked 10 times more retarded.

>>936839754
It's funny because it's true. I always think of Jurassic Park when I hear this but when you're in the middle of the woods (or basically anywhere rural) if you do a 360 scan, outside of someone where white, black or safety orange.. you'll probably not see them if they're not moving. It's actually kind of fucking terrifying.

There's no reason for them to not wear it.
