On March 26, the Defense Ministry's 'Zinuzh Media' released a report showcasing how military reconnaissance groups conduct special operations training in the woods, honing their skills. The report states that the attire worn by the reconnaissance group is adapted to the terrain, according to Fip.am.

However, a closer examination of the video reveals that the uniforms worn by the scouts are not military grade. Moreover, from the very first seconds of the video, the insignia visible on the scouts' camouflage uniforms indicates its origin.

The insignia shown in the lower image belongs to the American company Kleen Guard. Just searching the name yields information about the company and its products. For instance, this very uniform is being sold on amazon.com, with a package of 25 units priced at $148.

The description of the uniform shows that it is a one-time use protective overall intended for cleaning work. On the official website, various products from the brand are presented, none of which are intended for military use.

This uniform is sold in various countries. For example, on one Russian sales website, it is once again presented as disposable clothing meant for various non-military tasks.

Being designed (or adapted) for military use is crucial for different reasons, primarily for the proper, comfortable, and practical outfitting of military personnel, as well as for conveniently carrying spare magazines and other firearms.

For example, in this report, NATO troops are conducting exercises in Norway, and it is evident from their winter uniforms that they are designed for military personnel.

Similar camouflage clothing is used during Russian military exercises.

Thus, the camouflage and terrain-adapted uniforms shown in the mentioned video are actually available for purchase on amazon.com. They are intended for civilian work (decontamination, pharmaceutical work, etc.) and are not designed for military purposes.
