Romanian camouflage suit from the period 1976-1989 used by research units, sniperThe cut of the oversmock suit is very similar to the one the Soviet Union issued to snipers during World War 2. Romania produced and used these suits in the 1960’s through the end of communist rule in 1989 in the same camouflage pattern that was first fielded by the USSR in 1941 The Soviets later developed the pattern into the TTSmKK and KZS patterns (by similarity), all meant to mimic sunlight shining through foliage. Romania issued the same print but in different colorways such as a version where the green is replaced with brown and leaving the light colored base cloth as negative space, and another where the green is the same but the negative space is brown.
