Hi everyone, let start with Japanese helmet covers since WW2, nothing really mysterious here, that will come later.
I'll start with showing father & "sun" legacy have a look. Hard to deny, hum?
This is the 2nd camo pattern adopted in early 80s & issued to conventional Japanese ground units,
no longer only to the 1st Airborne Brigade as with the first pattern.
Very nice tag with plenty of info.
A new camouflage design based on the German Army's flecktarn was introduced in 1991 for issue to the entire JNSDF.
The pattern is often called Jietai (自衛隊) in reference to the indigenous name for the JNSDF.
Now let start the mysterious stuff in respect to this post
