It looks like the old Latvian camo is much better than the new one

Which "old pattern"?

All camouflage patterns introduced in the Latvian Armed Forces after 2006 in one photo (LatPat - 2007, Multi-LatPat - 2016, WoodLatPat - 2020)

Efficiency also depends on the terrain and season.

Great photo!
I meant Digital-type LatPat and Multi-LatPat.
It seems to me that they are capable to break up recognisable shape of a human being, unlike WoodLatPat.

LatPat was replaced by MultiLatPat because it was too bright and did not work well outside the city and sandy areas. MultiLatPat was already much better, but the Latvian army was still not entirely satisfied with the result. Therefore, the current model was created, adapted to the adopted concept of activities. Something gained, something lost, in my opinion the gains outweigh the losses. A pattern was created that is unique for Latvia (just like the previous ones) and allows for quick identification, and also good camouflage outside the city.

* You were taking a long time with the pizza!
* Excuse me, I have had to pass several check points, roads in terrible condition and the sergeant checking the delivery box, is yours pepperoni or Neapolitan?
