Commanders!
Today we’d like to tell you more about another historical camouflage – the Russian Steppe one.
This camouflage consists of a brown paintjob covered by black and ochre areas. Its execution adheres to the Soviet camouflage manual rules for mountainous and steppe areas.

The camouflage was photographed on several BMP-3s belonging to the “Vystrel” military academy in the November of 2008. The “Vystrel” training facility has a long history of officer cadre preparation, going back all the way to the 19th century, although it only became independent in 1932.

The facility focuses on actual practical field training to this day, teaching cadets to master modern Russian equipment including armored vehicles such as the abovementioned BMP-3.

The camouflage will become available in early September along with a Steppe Brown base paint as well as a number of Russian military unit decals:
- 2nd Guards Motor Rifle Division “Tamanskaya”
- 27th Separate Guards Motor Rifle Brigade “Sevastopolskaya”
- 6th Separate Tank Brigade “Chenstokovskaya”
- 1st Guards Army
We hope you will enjoy all of these and, as usual:
See you on the battlefield!
