\"Takyr\" suitThe \"Takyr\" camouflage pattern is a rare and complex four-color scheme, consisting of a hooded shirt and trousers. The design is simple, with light stitching and hand-stitched buttonholes.The pattern imitates cracked clay on a faded yellow background, formed by thin strips resembling dryness and sun in hot climate regions. This natural phenomenon is called \"takyr\", hence the working name of this pattern. It resembles the \"chocolate chip\" camouflage of the 80s and 90s but with fewer spots. There are two color variations: one vivid and clear, the other more faded, likely due to different production batches.Documentary photographs show Russian Interior Troops in Chechnya using the \"Takyr\" camouflage. One photo from the 1996 Russian presidential elections and another from the August 1996 storming of Grozny feature this pattern. These suits were likely made for operational brigades of the Interior Troops for deployments in Tajikistan, as indicated by the desert coloration and light fabric.The suits might have been ordered from a manufacturer producing a small test batch of fabric that wasn\'t used in experimental production. The simple sewing quality suggests they were made from leftover fabric by the unit\'s forces. The pattern could be a Soviet development from the late 1980s, showing a serious imitation of real desert elements. No foreign camouflage prototype matches this pattern.
