It was confirmed that the North Korean military was wearing the same military uniform as the Korean military’s new combat uniform (digital pixel camouflage pattern integrated combat uniform).
Accordingly, there is a possibility of confusion in the future of our military operations.
The Chosun Ilbo on the 25th ‘[단독] We reported this through an article entitled’Why come out from Pyongyang, our new combat uniforms.’
According to the article, at the North Korean fever ceremony held on the 14th, some North Korean soldiers wore combat uniforms in the same pattern as the new Korean military uniforms.
The color was not the dark green color used by the Korean military, but the ocher color, but the pattern made of digital pixels was the same in 10 places.
“It seems that North Korea has the technology to produce combat uniforms with the same colors and pixels as our military,” said Shin Jong-woo, Secretary General of the Korea Defense Security Forum.
He added, “If it is used for anti-invasive operations, there is a great confusion in our military operations.”
Regarding this, some have been debating the possibility that North Korea obtained source data for the production of ROK military combat uniforms or illegally distributed domestic combat uniforms.
The Korean military’s new combat uniforms, which began development in 2005, were supplied only to special forces from 2006, and were applied to the front units from October 2010.
The pattern is a granite pattern and comes in colors (beige gray, dark olive green, forest green, chocolate, charcoal).
This is not the first time that the North Korean military has copied South Korean combat uniforms. Even when the new combat uniforms were introduced, the North Korean military began to introduce a speckled combat uniform very similar to the existing South Korean Woodland combat uniforms, which almost caused a big problem in identifying Pia.
