Did not noticed that. The armed forces switched to that modern ACU pattern with a (stupid) blue variant for the Air Force and Navy. I guess they did not have a desert pattern and got some of those Polish looking ones ? I will ask around.
 
The old Romanian Desert pattern was very similar to the British Desert pattern but cut in Romanian style, sometimes the unit gets supplied by what ever is handy in the Mission area, the Irish in Somalia were issued with American Chocolate Chip pattern Desert BDU's.
 
And couple clips with the same few batallions

Here with some demo presentation one of them made during the Battalion Day, after they returned from a mission tour in Afghanistan

The paratrooper-commando battalion is named after Smaranda Braescu, a woman who was among the pioneers of parachuting in Romania (and one of the firsts women in the world in this domain)

Nicknamed the "queen of the heights" she established in 1932 the absolute world record (for both men and women) for the highest parachuting jump, at a little over 7300 m, in Sacramento, US.
During WW 2 she worked both as a pilot for the so called "white squadron" (a medevac air service that was evacuating the wounded from the first lines and who was comprised mostly from female pilots) and as a trainer for the first Romanian paratrooper battalion.
After the war she signed a petition against the falsification of elections by the communist regime supported by the soviets. For this and for a supposed relation with the former commander of the Special Mission company of the first paratroopers battalion, who formed a paramilitary resistance group against the newly established communist regime, she was convincted to prison, but escaped and go into hidding. She was hidding in various places, at her twin brother vineyard, in a nun monastery, a priest house, even suffered a medical intervention, a surgery, under a false name. However the stress of her hunting and her illnes eventually caught up with her and she supposedly died few years after the WW2, presumably being burried as well under a false name in a cemetery in Cluj, a city in central Romania, but is little know of her actual late fate.
